The Bob Hammons Memorial Youth Fund has awarded scholarships of $2,000 each to two seniors, Nathaniel Wachter from Moorefield High School and Wade Hershberger from East Hardy High School.
The Memorial Youth Fund has been established in the memory of Bob Hammons, who was an avid bowler, loved the youth and wanted to instill a love of bowling in youth. Bob worked at South Branch Potomac Lanes in Moorefield for many years and coached the youth every Saturday morning. He worked eagerly and tirelessly in the bowling community, serving as the Tri-County Bowling Association President for many years.
To raise funding for the BHM Youth Fund the 3rd Annual Memorial Bowling Tournament was held, hosted by South Branch Potomac Lanes. Tournament Co-champions were Robert Hulmes and Max Costa.
The event was co-sponsored by Stealth Tech and Pilgrim’s CCP Team. Lanes were sponsored by Moorefield Collision, Summit Community Bank, Pendleton Community Bank, Volta Services, Greensburg Bed & Biscuit, Baker Building & Remodeling, R Thomas CPA & Associates, Food Lion and South Branch Animal Hospital. Volta Services also sponsored four bowling balls. Raffle items were donated by Hardman’s Hardware, Central Tie & Lumber, AutoZone, Valley View Golf Club, Skard Prints, Davy’s Pro Shop, Pilgrim’s Fresh Complex and private donors.
We would like to send out our appreciation and thank you to all the sponsors of the event, the bowlers who participated and the family and friends who helped. We are looking forward to the 4th Annual Memorial Bowling Tournament in 2025!
