Larry Franz of Redford became only the 3rd bowler in the history of the National Senior Bowling Association to win back-to-back tournaments. Franz’ second victory came at Superbowl Lanes in Canton on June 9, 2007. 

Larry qualified 4th and beat Hal Scales of Riverview, 237-200, and Lloyd McNabb from Warren, 252-148. The semi-final match wasn’t decided until the 10th frame when Larry emerged with a 258-247 win over Jim Richardson of Toledo, Ohio. Larry proceeded to edge Ed DeBlock from Canada 214-199 in the final match. For his efforts, Larry took home the top prize of $1,000 and the championship trophy while DeBlock settled for the runner-up check of $500.
