SUMMARY

Scott grew up in Fort Wayne and bowled four years for Indiana State University.  He moved to the Kokomo area in 2000.  Scott has one of the smoothest games around.  You can’t hear his ball touch the lane yet it is one of the most powerful balls when it hits the pins.  He has rolled some very high series and was one of the top scorers in the old Kokomo Challenge League averaging just under 200 for three years straight.  Scott has bowled many years in Tipton but has sufficient accomplishments in Kokomo and the state tournaments to justify his inclusion in our Hall of Fame
