BIG ROCK CASINO

champ Jess Gagliardi

            Jess Gagliardi captured the first of three scratch titles available in a great weekend at Big Rock Casino in exciting JBT NM-TX Conference action

            As is usually the case in our scratch-only events, a very demanding condition was laid out for the bowlers, and it took a 5-game -75 score to advance to the semifinals- and that's with 150 bouns pins possible for 5 matchplay wins!  Ryan Scheer opened up the stepladder finals with a 194-188 squeaker over Danny Cobine.  Scheer then beat TJ Gaudette 225-189, and followed with a 213-190 win over Tim Crites.

            This set up a hugely important title match between top seed Gagliardi and Scheer, who are 1-2 in the points race, a big factor in the Go Wireless Bowler of the Year awards.  Both players were grinding it out, but a missed bucket from Scheer late gave Jess the room he needed for a 199-191 win and the victory, the 5th title of the talented Colorado bowler's JBT career.

            Thanks to everyone at Big Rock for making this extra event possible.  Want in on all the fun?  Check out our schedule and come on out to the next JBT event, it's really that simple!
