MIRA MESA LANES
champs Brittany Page & Theron Jouett
Two bowlers captured their first JBT titles in exciting JBT Southern California Conference action at San Diego's Mira Mesa Lanes.
Eddie Sayles, reigning handicap Bowler of the Year, made his first scratch finals a success by beating Mark Curtis 209-159 in round one of the stepladder. Page then took over, defeating Sayles 210-169, and Chirs Varholdt, who rolled the event's only 300 game, 245-204, to advance to the championship game.
Top seed Tim Ursillo, a relative newcomer to our Tour, made a big splash by leading the event on a very high scoring day. However, he had his hands full with the veteran Page, who earlier shot 290 and has had good results at Mira Mesa in the past. Both finalists bowled well, but Page's tenth frame spare locked up a 224-212 victory and a long awaited first scratch JBT title for her. She continues the unprecedented run of females having success in JBT scratch events this year, as she is the 8th female to win an open scratch event this year, when no other JBT season saw more than two.
Leann Kampley opened the eight-person handicap stepladder finals with a squeal and a 215 game, both of which beat Andre Hernandez (209) and Kirk Chui (186). Lindsey Ailport then fired off a 258 scratch game, beating Kampley (221) and Vincent Jouett (175). A high scoring semifinal match, reflecting the whole day's high-striking action, had Vincent's brother Theron Jouett come up with a 258 to eliminate Ailport (241) and Vincent Nolan (223), and Theron advanced to the title match.
Top seeded, nine year-old Steven Kampley again proved that any age and any average can succeed in JBT events by grabbing the #1 spot for the finals. After a hot start, Kampley struggled in the late frames, giving Jouett just enough room for a 252-231 win and his first career JBT title.
Thanks as always to the whole crew at Mira Mesa for being very accommodating hosts for our Tour. Over $2,000 in scholarships were awarded to juniors of all ages and averages- want in on the fun? Come on down to the next JBT event, it's as easy as that!
