STARLITE LANES

champs Cerell Cardines & RJ Pointon; Hunter Mayes, Hayden Hull, Rachael Berg, Caden Meliska

        Cerell Cardines and RJ Pointon captured JBT titles in exciting dual-conference action at Starlite Lanes in beautiful Flagstaff.

        Hayden Hull enjoyed the home cooking by vaulting to the scratch division top seed after qualifying, but was upset by #16 Rashaad Jordan in round one of matchplay.  #2 Tim Hill also fell, leaving the brackets wide open.  In the semifinals, #9 Keith Ylvisaker beat Jordan, whine #3 Hunter Mayes got past #15 Kyle Gilbert to set up the final.  In a match of two of the most powerful strike balls on Tour, the veteran Cardines took down Mayes 210-175 to earn the 14th title of his outstanding career.

        Handicap top seeds fared much better in match play, with #2 Silas Phillips getting to the semifinals before falling to #11 Caden Meliska 198-144, while #1 RJ pointon reached the final with a 213-204 win over #5 Brockton Scotford.  The finale was a good one between rising star Pointon and Meliska, a champ last year at Starlite, but in the end RJ won 229-210 for his first career JBT title.

        Rachel Berg defeated Jennifer Peterson for the Priority Girls Scratch win, while Hull was consoled with a win over Mayes for the U17 crown.  Big thanks to the team at Starlite for hosting us, Ebonite and all our other terrific sponsors, and everyone for attending.  Want on on all the fun?  Just check out our schedule and come on down!
