Description

A segment of AVNs monthly magazine show, "Here/now", this episode features the Wii Bowling teams from the Langston-Brown Senior Center. They recently took 3rd place in the inaugural season of the National Senior League Wii Bowling Championship.

A

My name is Margaret and Richard son I've never bought before. In my life, I.

A

Didn't like it at first I just thought: it was kind of silly for us to be doing. I thought it was child's playing and I didn't think it all folks like us should be playing it when.

B

Do we start around I was curious about it, I liked it I learned it a little bit and I said well, I think it would be a good idea to have one of her own, so I decided to buy one, and it was I didn't know about any other senior centers using it. I know that we were the first senior center in arlington that I know for sure.

A

Eva thought we had to play and, as she taught me how to play, I taught the most of the scenes. It's a hanging game. It works with your hands and you gotta know either through your hands your shoulders. You know, in other words, it's a brain thing. You've got to know how to manipulate.

C

It's a lot of fun and I think that when you're bowling you need someone to compete with in order to 'not can do better. Once.

A

We got into it and we learned that we voted against other people. We were voting with a lot of teams that went.

B

Here we were invited to participate. Basically, this was the very first time they keep the national senior team for the West nationwide. I can't remember exactly how many teens but I know one of her cat. One knows 190 correctly 190e father.

D

Gives a hundred anyone Kings I? Have you to know? That's me and we came in third place and.

E

It was all kind of assisted living facilities, nursing homes, senior centers, like ours and.

B

It's basically based on trust because each one is playing in their own individual site, so we are not really seeing our opponent wonder: what's are responsible for sending in the scores every week you.

E

Submit on tues vision on Wednesdays you find out who wins and go on to the next round.

A

And we got a school as a weekly, we were doing pretty good, so we got excited about it. You know him so we bowed every day. Five days a week, we came in here in the mornings getting ready to bowl. Oh.

C

We were excited, you were excited, we thought we'd come in all the way you just knew. We were going to the top every week come in. We had one that next week we.

B

May without weeks.

E

Of five love competition to get to the playoffs and then funding the playoffs.

E

D

A

For the most part we always want, but there were other teams that were better than we were, but we did come in third place and that's you know, that's good.

A

My daughter's couldn't believe they they did. Thank you, oh mama. Just that's not true! You you not voting with that many well I'll. I can taste what to tell me. You know I don't know. So what do you gonna get into next? I said I don't know. I hope that we get to fold again next year. If not we're gonna continue the bowl against ourselves. We have two teams and we will continue to vote against Isis.

A

We've had a lot of fun with this game.

D

Legs and brandy sure hi all the derry-o. When we came in third place.
