SPARE TIME LANES

champs Tyler Hogstrom & Hannah Abney with U17 and Girls winner Johnny Leggett & Kelsey Abrahamsen

        Tyler Hogstrom and Hannah Abney captured JBT titles in exciting Pacific Northwest Conference action at Spare Time Lanes in Kennewick.

        Bowlers competed in the exciting super-survivor format, where the lowest game and the lowest overall totals are eliminated round by round.  After Kelsey Abrahamsen and Andy Herrmann were eliminated in third and fourth with fine performances, Johnny Leggett and Tyler Hogstrom were left standing to play for the title.  Both bowlers performed great on a fairly low scoring day, but in teh end Hogstrom had just enough for a 247-235 win, earning his second career JBT title.

        Veteran Hannah Abney reached the title match in the handicap division, and had to face Gabriel Potter, bowling in his first event this season after a successful rookie season last year.  This match, too, was very well bowled, and in the end Abney earned a long awaited first career JBT title with a 240-230 victory over Gabriel.

        Kelsey Abrahamsen continued her hot start in the girls scratch division with a win over Abney for the win in that event.  The U17 title match finished off the high scoring title matches, as Johnny Leggett finally found his way to the winner's circle after many runner-up performances this season, beating Jerry Jennings 260-244 for the U17 side event win.
