BOWLIUM LANES

champs Solomon Salama and Kaitlynn Yukihiro with Ardani Rodas, Richard Paul III, Emily Cheesman, and Shane Hoard; Girls winner Renee Gentry

         Solomon Salama and Kaitlynn Yukihiro claimed JBT titles in an exciting wrap-up to the tripleheader weekend at Bowlium Lanes in Montclair.

        Kevin Banaag began the scratch division stepladder finals with a 212-202 win over Ryan Lee which featured both bowlers doubling in the tenth.  Banaag then had an easier time with talented first-time finalist Kameron Johnson 218-148.  Richard Paul III then stopped Banaag 197-186 to reach the title match.

        Top seed Salama was tied for the lead after qualifying, then fired 742 in the semis to run away with the event.  The anticipated battle of Team USA members in the final didn't materialize though, as Richard uncharacteristically struggled, and Solomon took advantage for a 222-160 win and the title.

       Shane Howard opened the handicap division stepladder finals with a 217-188 win over early round leader Jared Schiada.  Emily Cheesman then beat Howard 213-172.  Yukihiro then fired a big game to stop Cheesman 253-204 to reach the title match.

        Top seed Ardani Rodas had already had a terrific weekend, making the final five in both doubles and team, and still had enough left in the tank to lead this event.  He couldn't find the same look in the final though, and Yukihiro calmly threw another excellent game in a 226-197 win, good for her first career JBT title.

        The Priority Girls scratch subdivision went to Renee Gentry, with a win over Kaylee Am-Khong.  Salama completed the daily double with a U17 win over Michael Loera. 

        Once again, huge thanks to Al and the team at Bowlium for a great job hosting a jam packed weekend.  Wnat in on all the excitement?  Just check out our schedule and come on down!
