SOUTH PLAINS LANES

champs Mason Edmondson & Nick Lloyd

          A pair of Texans defended their home state, capturing titles in exciting JBT New Mexico-Texas Conference action at Lubbock's South Plains Lanes.

          Tim Crites began a run up the scratch division stepladder with a 198-169 win over Courtney Dutton, the high finisher among a battallion of girls to make the scratch cut on the day.  Crites then came up with the game of his JBT career, a front-ten, 289-234 victory over points leader Nick Lee.  Tim then got by another Arizona bowler, Joe Lewandowski, 225-204, to reach the title match.

         Top seed Mason Edmondson is a Jason Belmonte fan, and bowls like a mirror image of him, two-handed from the lefty side.  He probably figured it would take a big score to beat the red-hot Crites, and he came through with just that, throwing eleven strikes in a 279-236 win over Tim for the second title of his JBT career.

        JBT rookie Beau Carson had a great day, opening up the handicap division stepladder finals with a 266-222 win over Brandon Heckler, whose broken non-bowling arm proved to be no impediment to him.  Priscilla Red then defeated Carson 227-193.  Nick Lloyd then turned the tables on Red 225-214 to advance to the title match.

        Top seed Jerimiah Martin, like Lloyd, has been saddled with a few runner-up finishes, so somebody was going to break through for win number one, and in a tight match, it was Lloyd coming away with the 213-200 win for his first career JBT title.

        Hannah Stedman made sure the Texan dominance extended into the Women's Series, defeating Courtney Dutton 245-181 for the days's Women's title, the second of three wins she needs to qualify for the 2012 Girls TPC this July in Las Vegas.
