PAC NW DOUBLES

champs & finalists

         Two vets and two rookies picked up JBT titles in exciting action at the Pacific Northwest JBT Doubles Classic, hosted by Bowlero Lanes of Lakewood.

          The father/daughter team of Allyn and MacKenzi Clark began the scratch division Baker format stepladder finals with a win over the all-youth team of Henry Hind and Mac Reese.  Jake Sale and JBT alum Tommie McNeal then blasted 278 to defeat the Clarks and move on to the title match.

           Another all-time great, Daniel Hanson, teamed with Sam Strange to grab the top seed.  Hanson bowled well, but Strange was the dominant player of the whole event, averaging over 240 to lead all bowlers.  They both put it all together in the final, blasting a 278 of their own to turn the tables on Sale and McNeal and win the event.  It's Strange’s long awaited first career JBT title, while Hanson adds a ninth to his resume.

          Malakai Bachteler and Spencer Kenyon began round one of the handicap finals with a win over the AZ/NV team of Brendan Bobersky and JR Barczyszyn.  They rolled on in game two, beating two Bishop brothers, Deklyn and Camryn, to advance to the final.  Top seeds Max Searle and Xander Johns are high school teammates, and took advantage of experience with team bowling to stage a second half comeback in the title match, eventually coming up with the win for their first career JBT title each.

          Big thanks as always to the Bowlero team for their usual great hosting job.  Want in on all this fun for all ages and skill levels?  Just check out our terrific upcoming schedule and drop us an email to reserve your spots!

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, 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.  For doubles, matching 'theme' outfits that would otherwise not fit the dress code will count, pending directors' final decision.  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.
