'nai B'rith bowlers are mourning the death of fel- low bowler Andy Rubin, who passed away Oct. 11 at age 56 after suffering a heart attack during a Pisgah/Zeiger League night Sept. 25 at Country Lanes in Farmington Hills. "Andy was a great bowler ... very competitive said longtime competi- tor and teammate Keith Kingston. "And he always had a good time. He made friends wherever he Andy Rubin went:" Kingston designed a Web site (rubin.mrbowling300.com) that details Rubin's bowling accomplishments. "From the feedback I've gotten, it's obvious Andy touched a lot of lives:' Kingston said. It was a comfort for Pisgah/Zeiger League President Lyle Schaefer. "Although the Web site is a tribute primarily to Andy's bowling, he was much more than a great bowler, golfer and softball player. He was a dear friend," Schaefer said. Also see a tribute at the Brotherhood/ Eddie Jacobson League Web site, wwwbrotherhood-eddiejacobson.com . Rubin threw nine 300 games in his bowling career, all at Country Lanes. Each time he started a game with 11 strikes, he achieved perfection. The Farmington Hills resident also had four 800 series, all at Country Lanes; two were in back-to-back weeks. He rolled his last 300 game and 800 series less than a year ago, Dec. 4, 2007. "I've never seen anyone who could stay in a zone like Andy could:' Kingston said. Last season, Rubin averaged 226 in 75 games in the Pisgah/Zeiger League, and 220 in 87 games in the University Men's League. He and Kingston were team- mates five years in the lattter league. Back in 2006, the five-man team rolled 1296, an average of 259 per bowler. "That might be the highest game ever rolled by a five-man team of Jewish bowlers:' Kingston said. Rubin led the way with 300. Lee Roth had 258, Dennis Eder and Kingston each had 257, and Larry Stutzsky had 224. Pisgah/Zeiger bowlers Barry Fishman and Jerry Blaize did CPR on Rubin after he was stricken. "Great bowlers never die. They just fade away;' said Fishman, who bowled with and against Rubin for 20 years. Panthers Roar It was a successful summer for the North Farmington West Bloomfield 9U tournament baseball team. The Panthers - who had a Jewish manag- er, two Jewish coaches and five Jewish players - went 12-4 in three tourna- ments. Two of their four losses were by one run in semifinal games. Besides winning the Oxford Wildcat Late Summer Slam Tournament, the Panthers finished second in the NFWB tournament and third in the Thorn Apple Valley tournament in Ada. The team's manager was former North Farmington High School and University of Michigan football star Jeff Cohen, a member of the Michigan Jewish Sports Hall of Fame. Brigham Narins and Kevin Taylor were on the Panthers' coaching staff. The Jewish players were Zach Collen, Jake Cohen, Graham Narins, Matt Pantelic and Jacob Taylor. Kevin Taylor said they drew praise in Oxford: "After the championship game, umpires and tournament officials complimented us on how well the kids were coached, how well they played and what sportsmanship they showed." Sports Shorts •The Indiana High School Athletic Association created a stir when it refused to change the scheduling of the first day of the boys soccer sec- tionals, which fell on Yom Kippur. "Trying to get around every holiday for every religion in our scheduling would be problematic:' said associate commissioner Theresia Wynns. • Pole vaulter Jillian Schwartz, cous- in of West Bloomfield resident Carolyn Iwrey, competed in the Beijing Olympics (as well as Athens in 2004). A native of Evanston; Ill., she was a three- time All-American at Duke. ❑ Send news to sports@thejewishnews.com .
