Bowling season is just around the corner.

The Bowling Association and leagues have scheduled their meetings.

The Greater Richland, USBC Bowling Association will have their annual open meeting on Monday,

August 12th at 6.30 at the Phoenix Center, all bowlers who are in leagues at the Phoenix

Center are encouraged to attend.

They need a quorum to conduct business.

Officers will be selected, rule changes will be explained and the city tournament will

be scheduled.

A major league which bowls on Mondays will have their meeting on Monday, August 12th immediately

following the association meeting.

Emergency league which bowls on Wednesdays will have their meeting on Wednesday, August

14th at 6 at the Phoenix Center, the All Star League which bowls on Thursdays will have

their meeting on Monday, August 19th at 6.30 at the Phoenix Center.

League members are encouraged to attend their respective meetings, each league sets their

schedule for the season, determines their budget and votes on any rule changes.

Make your voice heard and attend your leagues meeting, contact your league secretary if you

have any questions.

New teams and new individual bowlers should attend a meeting to become a member, all leagues

have room for more bowlers.

Milwaukee Rookie, Jackson, Cheerio, hit a two-run homerun, part of a six-homer-twenty-thit

barrage by the brewers as they swept the Atlanta Braves was a 16-to-7 victory today.

This was just the fourth sweep of the Braves for the National League Central Leading Brewers

and second in Atlanta.

The other was in 2016.

The Braves who gave up 36 hits over the past two games and were outscored 34 to 12 in

this series are on a five-game losing streak after Thursday.

The brewers also received home runs from William Contreras, Garrett Mitchell, Willie Adamis

and Jake Bowers.

And the brewers will be in action again tomorrow, they'll be back home and they'll be hosting

the Cincinnati Reds.

Tomorrow's game, the first pitch will be at 7-10 and you'll be able to hear the broadcast

of that game tomorrow evening on WRC-107.7 and AM-1450 and the pre-game for that contest

will be at around 6.35.

Wisconsin will host the Fox version of College Game Day this coming season.

Big noon kickoff comes to Camp Randall Stadium on September 14th.

The Badgers are winless, owned five in games that host the program.

This is the third time that the network has come to Madison improving the record.

Maybe difficult because the UW opponents will be the UW-supponent, I should say, will

be the Alabama Crimson Tide kickoff to set for 11 a.m.

Wednesday's training camp practice for the Packers was cut short when White receiver

Christian Watson was hurt during a two-minute drill.

Watson went high for a pass and took some time to get to his feet.

He did walk out the field without assistance.

The 25-year-old standout has suffered multiple injuries during his short career, mostly involving

his hamstring.

The first week of joint practices at NFL training camps have already included one player getting

carted off the field and two teams getting fined $200,000 each for access to fighting.

Those events led credence to the notion that the joint practice sessions don't need

to last longer than one day.

The idea is growing in popularity.

Over two-thirds of the scheduled joint practice sessions this year are one-day affairs.

Nearly 80% of the 2023 joint practices lasted two days.

And they scored six points in two seconds, and just like that, against what looked like

overwhelming odds, the U.S. Olympic team was on its way to a comeback, to a win, and

to another Olympic gold medal game.

Stuff in Curry scored 36 points, including a go-ahead three-pointer with 216 left, and

the U.S. will play for gold in the Paris Olympics on Saturday night after beating Serbia 95-91.

The U.S. trailed by 17 points in the first half, plus faced an 11-point halftime deficit.

The biggest one successfully overcame by an American team, since NBA players were added

to the Olympic mix in 1992.
