OASIS LANES

champs Nick Lee & Angela Walls

   Nick Lee made a trip from Arizona well worth it, while Angela Walls completed a dream weekend, in exciting JBT NM-TX Conference action at El Paso's Oasis Lanes.

   Diego Lucero opened up the scratch division of the stepladder finals with a 165-159 win over Jess Gagliardi.    Diego then squeezed by good friend Dan Romero 202-191.  Nick Lee, who had led until the final round of qualifying, then defeated Lucero 203-193, to reach the title match.

  Top qualifier William Entsminger blasted a 276 to grab the lead away from Nicholas on a very demanding pattern on which no bowler was able to average 200.  After a crushing lost to Nathan Shock the day before, William was looking to finally break through for an elusive first JBT title.  However, late splits again proved costly to Entsminger, and a late double from Lee sealed a 192-163 win and his third career JBT title.

   Dominic Cuomo opened the handicap division stepladder with a 207-189 win over Marina Stever.  Joe Baldonado then defeated Cuomo 218-169, before Alyvia Quintana stopped Baldonado in a close match, 228-224, to advance to championship game.

   Top seed Angela Walls had already had an amazing weekend, winning the previous day's event, and defeating Stever in the Women's Series finale.  To polish off an unprecedented trifecta, she'd have to get by 6 year-old Quintana, one of a slew of younger bowlers who had very successful performances this weekend at Oasis.  Despite a great effort from Alyvia, Angela just wouldn't back down, rolling her 3rd title match 200+ game of the weekend to win the game 238-206 for the doubleheader victory.  The fantastic weekend also jumped Angela all the way to the handicap division points lead!

   Thanks to the whole crew at Oasis for hosting our Tour over the weekend, which awarded over $3,000 in scholarships to juniors of all ages and averages.  Want in on the fun?  Come on down to the next JBT event, it's as simple as that!
