CANTON — Massillon junior Nico Fromholtz shot the 48th 300 game in Stark County High School Bowling Conference history Monday during a match against Louisville at Eastbury Bowling Center.
Fromholtz had 300 in Game 1 of his 485 series. The Leopards defeated the Tigers 2,569-2,460 during the match.
Junior Landon Geisey led the Leopards with a 391 series and senior Michael Emerick Jr. had 388.
It marked the third 300 thrown by a Massillon player in the conference’s 22-year history. The others were by Bob Zehnder (2003-2004, Park Centre Lanes) and Noah Baltzer (2017-18, Strike Zone).
The conference had three 300 games thrown last season, two by McKinley players (Zach McCutchan, Hunter Henson) and one by Triway’s Chad Harper, also at Eastbury.
FORMER CONFERENCE VP DIES
Former North Canton Hoover High School athletic director Joe Eaton, who was instrumental in helping to form the Stark Conference and served as its vice president for two seasons has died.
Eaton, 76, who also served as Federal League commissioner for 16 years, was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in December 2022. The chronic, progressive lung disease damages and scars the lung tissue, making breathing increasingly difficult. There is no known cause or cure for IPF. He died overnight Dec. 1.
A celebration of life for Eaton will be held in Raleigh, N.C., where he had resided since 2020, in January and in Canton in May.
