Images: #TBT Gallery looks back at bowling in the suburbs
In this week's #TBT Gallery, we check out suburban bowling action in the 1960s and '70s.
The rules of bowling haven't changed much since the '60s and '70s. The object is still to knock down 10 pins per frame with a perfect scoring being 300. Maybe the only aspect of the game that has changed is the scoring is electronic now, eliminating pencil, paper and math.
The IHSA bowling state series is split into a boys and girls division. The boys competed Jan. 27-28 in O'Fallon for the state title, and the girls will compete Feb. 17-18 in Rockford.
