PALM SPRINGS LANES

champs Bobby Hornacek & Anthony DiPanni

        Bobby Hornacek and Anthony DiPanni scored big wins in exciting JBT Southern California Conference action at Palm Springs Lanes.

        Eric Hatchett began the scratch division stepladder finals with a 226-204 win over Kyle Duster.  In a high scoring second round, Hatchett beat Wesley Low 267-238.  The strikes continued in the next match, but this time it was Hornacek who strung them, as he defeated Hatchett 263-194 to reach the title game.

        Top seed Cortez Schenck was appearing in his eighth consecutive regular season title match, an incredible accomplishment.  However, Hornacek continued his striking from the last game, and Cortez was unable to keep up.  Bobby's 256-212 win was good for his fourth career JBT title, and first since his landmark TPC victory last August.

        Trevor Thompson began the handicap division stepladder finals with a 230-204 victory over Matthew Green.  Marc Villalobos then threw Thompson to the wolves with a 222-184 win.  Jacob Murray then stopped Villalobos 235-185 to advance to his first career title match.

        Top seed DiPanni teamed with Green in December to capture the Main Event doubles side event, but this was his best regular season performance to date.  Late splits proved to be Murray's undoing, and Anthony took advantage for a 242-196 win, and his first career JBT title.

        Brooke Martinez beat Randi Speiler 192-143 to capture the day's Women's Series event, continuing to reverse a previous trend of title match losses from Brooke.
