HOLIDAY BOWL

champs Danny Cobine & Vanessa Romero

        Danny Cobine and Vanessa Romero had their own Super Sunday in Albuquerque, capturing JBT titles in exciting NM-TX Conference action at Holiday Bowl.

        Scores were high all day, and they didn't slow down in the scratch division stepladder, beginning with a 265-215 round one win for Josh Helmick over William Yoder.  Cobine then began a thrilling run by doubling in the tenth to defeat Helmick 248-246.  The semifinal match was lower scoring but just as tense, as a tenth frame open sunk Jacob Gill's hopes of winning a title, as Danny snuck by 205-196. 

        Trey Sledge dominated the event all day with his enormously powerful style, but a mid-game pocket 7-10 changed the tone of the title match.  In the end, it was Cobine who hung on for the 214-212 win, earning the veteran the 8th title of his JBT career.

        Blayne Hurst is another Amarillo bowler with a powerful game, and he began the handicap stepladder by defeating previous day's champion Quirino Sanchez 206-197.  Hurst then fired ten strikes in a 277-193 thumping of first-time finalist Nathan Nguyen.  Another new finalist, Nathan Price, then stopped Hurst 244-206, to move on to the title match.

        Vanessa Romero already had a successful weekend with a Women's Series win yesterday.  She catapulted from a good weekend to an outstanding one here, leading the high scoring field and then stopping Price 215-186 to earn the first singles title of her JBT career.

        Romero also squared off against fellow Las Cruces bowler Adel Wahner in a women's series rematch from the day before.  This time Wahner got her revenge, beating Vanessa 227-192 for the day's girls crown.

        Thanks as always to the terrific staff at Holiday for a great job hosting our event.  Want in on the fun?  Just come on down to the next JBT event, that's all you have to do!
