AMF SHEA VILLAGE

champs Christian Jensen and Kris George

Christian Jensen ended a season-long drought, while Kris George made it two wins in a row, in JBT SW action at AMF Shea Village.

The scratch division finals opened up with a tense match between Theo Douthit and Bill Grant.  Needing a double in the tenth to win, Grant flushed his first shot, but a half-10 in on the second ball resulted in a 227-222 victory for Theo.

In round two, Douthit remained hot, eliminating Kevin Saunders 222-189.  The tables were turned in round three, when Christian Jensen- who was outside the cut after game 4 but roared back with an even 1000 for the next 4- started with the front five en route to a 233-201 victory, advancing him to the championship match.

Top qualifier Jeff Ellis was leading a JBT SW singles event for the first time, after rolling 708 in the semifinals.  However, four solid-10 pins spelled doom for him, as the veteran Jensen piled up the strikes.  Christian's 248-193 triumph was good for his third career JBT SW title, but his first since the 2004 Pro-Am,. almost exactly one year ago. 

The handicap division saw one of the highest scoring qualifying rounds ever, with a +50 cut.   Andy Garriott rolled a 230 game to win the opening round of the stepladder finals over Chris Thompson (216) and Michael Kremer (176).  Garriott remained en fuego in round two, rolling a 247 to beat fine efforts by Chris Wurm (230) and Zach Herbert (213).  The semifinal match was about as close as it could get, as Kris George spared a 3-6-9 in the tenth for a 199 game that just edged Garriott (196) and Dan Eagy (197).  

Top qualifier Nicholas Lee grabbed the top seed in his first stepladder appearance with the aid of a big 280 game to open the semifinals, but struggled in the early frames of the title match.  George, however, bowled with confidence, and the result was a 247-205 win for Kris.  George had one of the all-time hot streaks in JBT SW history last spring, and he seems on his way again this spring.  The Shea win was his second consecutive, and is his 6th career handicap division win, the best all-time in JBT SW competition.

Thanks to John Rumery and his staff at Shea Village for hosting a fine event.
