Tayne Bohman of Pierre, Grandson of Danny and Linda Brunmeier and Tom and Pam Bohman, was the recent recipient of the Tony Eldridge Bowling Award. Tony was a young man from the Pierre area who had a love for bowling that has no rival; if Tony could have lived at the Bowling Alley, he would have. He lost his life too early in a go-kart accident. Tony’s parents wanted to keep his love for bowling alive and this award was their way of doing it. Since the 1970’s they have worked with the bowling coaches to determine who they believe would best represent this award as they love bowling as much as Tony did. The parents of Tony began giving this award, in 1979 and the tradition has continued since then.
