AZ DOUBLES CLASSIC

champs Randy Cote & Bryan Van Sickle, and Kyle and Connor Lawrence, with runners up Dave Cirigliano & Lucas Rabb, and Phillip and Mark Sauve

        Bryan Van Sickle is a non-champ no more, while the Lawrences kept it in the family, in exciting action at the AZ Doubles Classic, hosted by AMF Deer Valley Lanes. 

        Matt Zweig and Shane Valleau began the Baker format scratch division stepladder finals with a 223-205 win over qualifying leaders Joshua Molloy and Michael Fitzgerald.  Mark Myers and Justin Song then blasted 10 strikes in a 266-202 win over Zweig and Valleau.  Van Sickle and Randy Cote then beat Song and Myers 223-181 to advance to the title game.

        Lucas Rabb, still looking for his first scratch title, partnered with one of the best around in Dave Cirigliano to nail down the top seed.  Neither team blinked in a terrific match on what had not been a high scoring condition.  Both teams had their juniors bowl the tenth frame.  Van Sickle packed three beautiful strikes to finish at 248, forcing Rabb to get all three to tie.  The first two shots were great, but Lucas' light hit on the fill ball would not fall, and the 248-247 finale left Lucas floored, and finally erased the 'best non-titlist' albatross from Van Sickle's record with his first win.  Cote also ties his wife Bryanna (Caldwell) with his tenth JBT title- look our for Bry on her next chance!

         Bryanna made a run at winning along with Randy, as she and Breanna Feurstock began the handicap finals with a 193-185 win over Josh Williams and Cory Vanderpoel.    CJ Todeschi and Gavin Holter then stopped Bryanna and Breanna 180-157.  The brother tandem of Phillip and Mark Sauve then turned the tables on CJ and Gavin 212-175, to advance to the title game.

        Top seeds Connor and Kyle Lawrence were near or at the top of the leaderboard all day long, and stayed strong all game in a 222-198 win over the Sauves, good for the 2nd and 3rd titles of their JBT careers.
