SILVER BOWLING CENTER
champs Jeremy Medina & Debbie Read
Debbie Read and Jeremy Medina captured
titles in exciting JBT New Mexico-Texas Conference action in Silver City.
The scratch division bowlers tore up the
lanes with lots of strikes all day, and the assistance of our ‘mulligan’
format, which allowed bowlers to earn crucial ‘do-overs’, resulting in a
score of +305 needed just to make the finals.
Dan Bodinet, who has been red-hot lately, continued the streak with a
226-214 win over Mike Cross in round one. Medina
then stopped Bodinet 221-197, then got extremely lucky to get by BJ Baker,
257-246, when BJ failed to strike in the tenth despite three chances thanks to
the mulligans.
Top qualifier Stephen Gaucin hardly needed
any extra help scoring, as he torched the lanes all day long to easily nab the
top seed. However, it was
Stephen who had the carry problems in the title match, while Medina, who
combined with his brother Justin has an ugly record against Stephen (and JBT
alumni George), threw the ball great en route to a 227-203 win, good for his 4th
career JBT title.
Peter Cane opened the handicap division
stepladder with a 217-213 win over Skylar Miller.
Cane then rolled on with a 221-193 win over Jonathan Frederick, before
Debbie Read stopped Cane, 209-201, to reach he first title match.
Everyone who finished in the top 5 qualifies for the 2007 JBT 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 2007 JBT Touring Players' Championship, featuring a guaranteed minimum $2,000 first place scholarship per division!
