BOWLARAMA

champions Jerod Florez & Kendra Jones

Jerod Florez and Kendra Jones captured titles in exciting JBT SW action at Hobbs' Bowlarama Lanes.

The scratch division stepladder finals opened with Jeremy Medina defeating Robyn Ashley 206-178.  Medina then doubled in the tenth frame to get by Bill Grant 190-187, and followed with a 206-180 dispatch of defending NM-TX champ Stephen Gaucin 206-180 to advance to the title match.

The always entertaining Florez, who easily led the tournament most of the day, didn't have much to get excited about in the title match, but fortunately for him Medina suddenly began to struggle himself.  In the end, Florez had just enough to defeat Medina 182-170, good for the third title of his JBT SW career.

In the handicap division, John Freeman opened the stepladder finals with a big 264, defeating a fine 218 effort from Josh Gibson.  Tommie Hall then came on to defeat Freeman, 214-182, ensuring a female handicap division champ.  Hall controlled the semifinal match against Annalicia Martinez, winning 229-180 to advance to her first title match.

Top qualifier Kendra Jones, with a 76 average, is yet another example in the NM-TX handicap division that any age and average can compete very well on our Tour.  Not at all intimidated by the title match pressure, Jones got enough marks throughout a well-bowled match to defeat Hall 233-213, capturing the first title of her JBT SW career.

Everyone who finished in the top 5 qualifies for the 2006 JBT SW NM-TX Invitational Tournament, the regular season's year end event, featuring a guaranteed minimum $1,000 first place scholarship in each division.  Top season-long point scorers also qualify for the 2006 JBT SW Touring Players' Championship, featuring a guaranteed minimum $2,000 first place scholarship per division! 

  Thanks everyone at Bowlarama for being gracious hosts for our Tour's first visit to Hobbs. 54 entrants shared in over $1,200 in scholarships awarded.  Please continue to help spread the word about the terrific benefits of bowling JBT SW events!
