CERBAT LANES

champs Cameron Smith & Sam Amaral

    Cameron Smith rolled on to another title, while another JBT veteran tasted victory for the first time, in exciting dual conference action at Kingman's Cerbat Lanes.

    Hawaii's Justin Kanda opened the scratch division stepladder finals with a 204 game that beat Greg Geering (167) and Robyn Renslow (195), who had led the early rounds in an impressive performance.  Smith's238 round two effort stopped Kanda (189) and Jakob Butturff (222).  In the semifinals, Smith amped it up to 246, defeating Derek Acuff (215) and Mark Myers (178) to reach yet another title match.

    Top qualifier Dan Hansen had a career day, leading a scratch event for the first time, helped by the event's only 300 game, tossed during the qualifying round.  He and Cameron engaged in a back and forth title match.  Hansen had a chance to do Cameron dirty with a tenth frame strike to win, but when he didn't get it, a relieved Smith claimed the 29th title of his exceptional JBT career.

    Amaral began a climb up the handicap division stepladder with a 183-156 win over Cerell Cardines.  Sam then bested Blake Kalaf 198-184, and follwed with a 195-179 win over first time finalist Josh Liebowitz to reach the title game.

     Top seed Alex Pellegrino was looking to break a long drought, while Amaral was looking for a long awaited first win, and that and toughening lane conditions seemed to lead to a nervous second half of the title game.  In the end, Sam's tenth frame mark was good for a 192-186 win and the first title of his JBT career.

     Renslow looked to avenge her earlier loss in the day's Women's Series event, but second qualifier Randi Speiler would have none of it, staying in control for a 226-193 win, and the second of three wins she needs to qualify for the 2012 Girls' TPC this July.
