Whether from nearby at Highland Park Bowl, or from the big bowling alley in the sky, Amber Granzow's biggest fans were treated to a show like few others in state history Saturday afternoon.

While the Sterling senior's 578 series in the morning session of the Panther Invitational in Moline was hardly chopped liver, the hard-throwing lefty came up prime rib in the afternoon. Her 780 series – comprised of games of 244, 257 and 279 – is the seventh-best in IHSA history.

After being congratulated by her teammates and opponents, she went straight to the gallery behind the lanes to hug her parents, Tim and Ronda, as well as her sister and former Sterling standout Kelly.
