Red Rock Lanes
champs Wesley Low & James Gabour
Wesley Low made some JBT history, While James Gabour made some personal history of his own, with exciting wins in JBT Mojave Conference season-opening action at the amazing Red Rock Lanes.
JBT rookie Jakob Butturff opened the scratch division of the stepladder finals with a 220-193 win over Spenser Lilley. Zack Hattori then defeated Butturff 278-222. Brandon Allred then beat Hattori 233-164, to advance to the title match.
Top seed Wesley Low, last season's Southern California handicap division Bowler of the Year, had no trouble with either the transition to scratch, or the challenging Tournament of Champions lane condition, rolling all 8 games over 200 to lead since game two. The title match against the talented veteran Allred was a great one, though. After Low finished with spare-strike in the tenth, Brandon needed a double in the tenth to win. Allred's first shot came in light but struck, and his second was better, but a stubborn 10-pin stood, giving Low the 200-194 win, and the 4th title of his JBT career. At just 13 years old, Wesley becomes one of the youngest scratch champions in JBT history.
The handicap division finals opened with the always-interesting situation of a sibling rivalry, as younger brother KJ Martinez beat big sister Brooke Martinez 196-189. KJ then beat Gabriella Weis 237-212. Newcomer Jhared Gonzalez, who also won the day's Ebonite bowling ball, then beat KJ 236-202, to reach the title match.
Top seed James Gabour had also been leading the event since game two, and this was the second straight season he opened the season as the top seed at Red Rock. Unlike last year, this time he was able to finish the deal, defeating Gonzalez 229-203 for a long awaited first title of the JBT veteran's career.
