CA Doubles Classic at FOREST LANES
champs Devin Bidwell & Mason Sherman and Shane Lien & Lana Lycan
A jam-packed day of action at Forest Lanes saw two bowlers come through for second titles, and two regulars finally cash in for title number one, in the JBT SW's So Cal Doubles Classic.
After seven grueling team games, the scratch field was reduced to five teams for the stepladder finals. In round one, current JBT superstar Brian Carmichael and former JBT superstar and current PBA member Joel Ricketts fired 11 out of 12 strikes to end the day of the New Mexican team of Jerod Florez and Jeremy Medina, 279-204.
In round two, Carmichael and Ricketts, who needed a 509 score in game 7 just to get into the finals, continued to look dominant, defeating Jared Lawrence and Chris Fritsch 229-183. In the semifinals, though, Brian and Joel were derailed by the adult-junior team of Matt Jones and Robert Mosley, 238-179, advancing them to the title match.
Top qualifiers Devin Bidwell and Mason Sherman had dominated the field most of the day. Sherman averaged 236 for his seven games, while after a bad first game, Bidwell averaged 228 for his last six, easily grabbing the top seed. The title match was well-bowled and dramatic. In the end, a late double from Mason and Devin locked it up, and the 224-205 win was good for Mason's 2nd career JBT SW title, and Devin's first. They split the $350 top scholarship prize.
In the handicap division, the stepladder finals belonged to the San Diego team of Shane Lien and Lana Lycan. They opened the finals by defeating the adult-junior team of Martika Cabezas and Andrea Snyder by a 229-189 margin. In a furious round two comeback, they edged the father-son team of Mike and Jeff Carr, 222-214. Mike also had the high game of the tournament, a big 299 in game one. In the semifinal, Lana and Shane took care of Savannah Guerrero and Jenna Katsura 205-163 to advance to the championship game.
Top-seeded Allie Ijams and Eddie Sayles were one of the few teams to improve in the semifinals, but found themselves struggling against the red-hot Lycan and Lien in the title match. In the end, Shane and Lana came up with a 223-184 win, good for Lana's 2nd career JBT SW title and Shane's first, and they split a $300 scholarship prize.
Every junior who finished in the top 5 qualifies for the 2006 JBT SW So Cal Invitational Tournament, the regular season's year end event, featuring a guaranteed minimum $1,000 first place scholarship in each division.
