Mike Leslie of Iola reached a bowling milestone, 702 for a three-game series, at the Country Lanes bowling alley. A 700 for a three-game series is considered rare. Leslie’s feat was the first in three years a bowler had rolled a 700 series and only the second time in the 22-year history of the bowling alley.
