BOWL EL PASO

champs Zach Harvey & Anthony Hernandez; Daunte Uribarri, Victoria Cruz, Nathan Sippel, Michael Goodman, Ian Seth Silva

        Zach Harvey ended a long journey to scratch victory, while Anthony Hernandez was a first time winner, in the season opener for the 19-20 JBT New Mexico-Texas Conference at Bowl El Paso.

        Daunte Uribarri began the scratch division stepladder finals with a 206-184 win over Will Davis.  Harvey, who had two of the most dramatic stepladder matches ever in the 2019 TPC, picked right up with more drama in a 205-204 win over Uribarri in round two.  The title match against first time top-seed Nate Sippel would prove just as dramatic.  Sippel finished at a hard fought 185, forcing Zach to double for the win, when he hadn't even struck since the fifth.  The veteran zeroed in his adjustments and threw two brilliant shots for the double, 190-185 final, and a very long awaited and well deserved first scratch JBT title. 

        Michael Goodman produced some excitement of his own in the handicap finals, beginning with a 251-247 thriller over Ian Seth Silva.  Michael then won anothe high scoring match, against newcomer Xaden Todacheenie 262-231, to move on to the title match.  Top seed Anthony Hernandez had been brilliant in his JBT debut, but had to dig out a lower scoring 215-207 win to capture his first career JBT title.

        Victoruia Cruz swept the subdivisions, winning Priority Girls Scratch over Lauren Jaramillo, and beating Uribarri for the U17 crown.
