A perfect January Friday night

The story of John Pratt’s best-ever bowling game begins—as stories of greatness often do—with a noble failure. In his first individual game bowling for the McCallum boys team Friday night at Dart Bowl, it looked like Pratt would beat his previous best game, a 234.  After bowling poorly during practice, Pratt found a groove once the match started.
