James had a great time bowling with Enterprise during BASCA’s day program outing — and he’s got the score to prove it! As one of the original members of the High Rollers, James has been bowling for years and has really honed his skills.

Today he bowled an impressive 173!

Way to go, James — we’re so proud of you! Keep those strikes coming! Mary Ann Veasey
