May, 1974 Harold Marshall received a clock trophy and a check for $100 for the first ever 300 game bowled at Norada Lanes, Ada.

Dave Parshall made the presentation at the Ada Men’s Bowling Association Banquet on May 25.

The second 300 game was not until January 1993 by Phil Austin, Lima, Ohio.

In January 1978 Charles Deringer bowled a 299 at Norada Lanes.

It took place in 1992
