WHITEWOOD LANES

Justin Weddige, Joshua Burnett, Rebecca Wilson, Breckton Crouch, Jordan Wisthoff, Gerilynn Delegarito

        Joshua Burnett and Jordan Wisthoff tasted JBT victory for the first time, in exciting Mountain Conference action at Lubbock's Whitewood Lanes.

        Bowlers moved into head to head matchplay after qualifying.  Burnett, the runaway top seed, ousted defending champ Brock Bivins and then #5 Ashton Holladay on his way to the final, while Justin Weddige made to the finals with wins over Jon Green and an overtime thriller over Nathan Nguyen.  Josh remained on a roll in the finale, and completed his dream day with the win over Weddige for his first career JBT title.

        A large handicap field resulted in a 32-bowler matchplay bracket, with top seeds surviving the gauntlet fairly well, as seed 1-4 all reached at least the quarterfinals.  Top seed Jordan Wisthoff got by #8 Joysbeliz Reyes-Solano and #21 Rebecca Wilson to reach the final.  On the other side, #3 Brekton Crouch survived over #14 Avey Mitchell and #22 Harlee Wilson to play Wisthoff for the title.  In that finale, Wisthoff remained in charge, and completed the #1 seed sweep, earning his first career JBT title with the victory.

        Aileen Linares swept the Girls Scratch weekend, while Gerilynn Delegarito was the day's U17 champ.  Giant thanks as always to the Wood family for all their work and hospitality hosting our events.  COme on down to the next JBT event and join in the fun for all skill levels and ages!

Lane conditions: conditions vary from event to event, and are not posted prior to the event (unless otherwise announced).  Some events do not post the pattern until after qualifying.  Be ready for anything- it makes you a better bowler!  Check out previous patterns and corresponding cut scores at the 'lane conditions' section of this website.

Dress code:  Anything goes EXCEPT tank tops, hats, gym shorts, clothing promoting alcohol, drugs, or firearms, or excessively ripped or short clothing, subject solely to the director's discretion.  However, bowlers wearing slacks or dress shorts/skirts, and a 'name shirt' or PBA-style 'dye-sub' shirt, or college or high school team shirt, earn an extra 10 points on their season-long points total.  If you're not sure about dress code, check with us.  If you're new to us, the vast majority of the bowlers do dress in the 'bonus' dress code, and those points become very important, so plan accordingly.
