Paul Duchman was one of the best bowlers at Cloverleaf Lanes in the 1980’s. His 846 career high series, bowled there in 1986, was the fourth highest series ever bowled in the county association up to that time, and won the County Association high series award for that season.  It was the second 800 series ever bowled at Cloverleaf at that time and remains the Cloverleaf Lane record for high series.  In 1987, Duchman became the seventh county bowler to roll a second 800 series, when he again won the seasonal high series award.

Paul started bowling at the age of 8, coming out of the junior bowling program at Cloverleaf in the mid 1970’s, to bowl in several different local houses for many seasons before relocating to Maryland in the mid 1990’s.

Duchman was named to the local Association All-Star Team for the 1983-84 season when he averaged 212.  His career high average of 225, was achieved at Cloverleaf during the 1985-86 season, when only two other bowlers in the local Association recorded a higher average.  During the 1985-86 season, Duchman rolled three 300 games, becoming the fourth local bowler to record at least three perfect games in one season.  In 1988, he became the fifth local bowler to achieve 5 career 300 games.

In 1984, Paul teamed with Randy Hull to win the Doubles Championship in the County Tournament, after being a member of the Championship Team in the 1981 and 1983 Tournaments.  He won numerous 700 Club Sweepers, took second place in the 1982 Bowler of the Year Tournament, averaging 215 for the tournament, and bowled for many years on the Cloverleaf team in the Susquehanna Trail Travelling League.
