Glacier Lanes bowler David Ramsey recently bowled a perfect 300 game. Ramsey’s average is about 197, but he hit the magic score on Jan. 21 during the Men’s City Tournament.

Ramsey said he was pretty nervous in the final frame.

“I started shaking in the 10th,” he said.

Glacier Lanes gives $100 to any bowler who gets a 300. Ramsey bowled the feat on lanes 5 and 6.

Ramsey is a 2004 graduate of Columbia Falls, an Iraq War veteran and works at the Columbia Falls Post Office. He has a wife, Angelica, who is also a bowler and three children. He bowls three nights a week — Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays, not including tourneys.
