RIVERSIDE LANES

champs Bean Haugh & Alana Brown

        Brennan Haugh and Alana Brown captured JBT titles in exciting Pac NW Conference action at Mount Vernon's Riverside Lanes.

        Jeff Jonker opened up the scratch division stepladder finals with a 176-159 grindout win over Jake Mullen.  Jonker then squeaked past Johnny Leggett 203-189.  Haugh, a Main Event regular bowler visiting from Minnesota, then stopped Jonker to reach the title match.

        Top seed Brian Monnette is in the middle of a fantastic season, but didn't have an answer for Haugh this time, as the man nicknamed 'Bean' won the title match for his first JBT victory.

        For one of the only times in JBT history (maybe even the only time), the handicap division stepladder featured an all-female cast, beginning with Hannah Saunders' 238-182 win over Sara Harris.  Brown then took over, beating Saunders 233-209, and following with a 238-213 win over Madison Bash to reach the title match.

        Newcomer Hannah Lennox had been brilliant in gaining the top seed, but Alana remained on a roll, defeating Lennox to earn her first career JBT title.

        Saunders' excellent day continued in the day's girls event, but top seed Candice Goldfinch, the only female to average over 200 on the day, put on a great performance to defeat her and earn the day's Women's Series title.

        Thanks to JBT alumni Mike O'Brien and the team at Riverside for another great job hosting our events.  Want in on all the fun?  Just check out our schedule and come on down, that's all you have to do!
