ANTELOPE LANES

champs Joe Grondin, Adel Wahner, and Nolan Am-Khong

        Three excellent bowlers claimed JBT titles, but one had the day of their career, in exciting JBT Arizona Conference action at Antelope Lanes in Prescott Valley.

        25-time champ Derek Acuff opened the scratch division stepladder finals with a 222-183 win over Ryan Lee.  Joe Grondin then stopped Acuff 203-194.  Grondin then got by Cristian Roque, who was making his first career scratch division finals, 188-149, to advance to the title match.

        Harley Sweigart was at or near the top of the leaderboard all day long with some excellent bowling, but nothing was going to stop Grondin's phenomenal day.  In a close match, Joe won to claim the 8th title of his JBT career.  While the win was exciting and valuable, it was only a fifth of what happened to him hours before, as he rolled the magic three shots in a row to claim the $1,000 PowerBowl jackpot, becoming the second person in seven days to do so, by far the shortest time between jackpot winners.  The result was a $1,250 payday for a little ol' junior tournament- not so bad!!

        Tyler Hedges began a spectacular run up the handicap stepladder with a 230-203 win over Abby Franklin.  Tyler then beat Clifford Robbins 235-183, and then turned it up another notch in a 246-204 win over Sebastian Polhill to advance to the title game.

        It didn't seem like anything could stop Hedges either, but top seed Nolan Am-Khong didn't feel the same way.  Nolan rolled a confident game in a 226-204 win over Tyler, good for his third career JBT title.

        Adel Wahner kept a season of successes rolling with a 245-201 win over Cierra Chamot, who also led the first two rounds of the main scratch division, for the day's girls' title.

        Thanks as always to the crew at Antelope for a great job hosting our Tour.  Want in on all this fun for all ages and averages?  Just check out our schedule and come on down!
