Brother Martin’s Gardner rolls second career perfect game Saturday
On the heels of a spectacular month of April, Brother Martin senior bowler Drew Gardner achieved perfection for the second time in his young career Saturday.
Gardner rolled a 300 game in the Saturday Juniors league at AMF All Star Lanes in Kenner. He flirted with what would have been his third career 800 series before finishing with a 789.
Last month, Gardner led the Crusaders to an unprecedented fifth state championship, averaging 227 for 14 games in the postseason. He also finished fourth in the U18 division of the statewide Pepsi Championships and was awarded the Lanson Chien Memorial Youth Scholarship for accomplishments on and off the lanes.
Gardner, who will graduate from Brother Martin later this month, is the third Crusader to achieve perfection in the last five weeks.
On April 24, junior Carson Colletti rolled his first career 300.
