champs Craig Tuholski, Evan Smith, Chris Tuholski, Kelsey Abrahamsen, & Kevin Hong
A veteran quintet of decorated bowlers teamed up to win the Pac NW JBT Baker Team Challenge, held at Burien's Hiline Lanes.
The Oregon superstar team that called themselves "Scared Hitless" dominated qualifying, but unfortunately their name foretold their bowling in the matchplay portion, as they fell in round two after a first round bye. The only team in the top eight to get bonus pins for addition under-170 bowlers, "We need one" made it all the way to the semifinals, before bowing out, along with Pac NW Director Evan Olson's "Toms & Jerry". That left "Christmas Custard" and "To Have and Two Holes", two teams loaded with past experience in JBT Baker finals, to battle it out for top honors this time.
Anchor Chris Tuholski's power is almost impossible to stop when he's on a roll, and all his teammates did their part as well, leading to the title in a hard fought finale. Joining Chris was his father Craig, JBT scratch girls Bowler of the Year Kelsey Abrahamsen, defending TPC champ Evan Smith, and past GSUSBC Bowler of the Year Kevin Hong.
Big thanks to the team at Hiline for hosting one of the most fun yet competitive events of the year. Want in on all this fun for all ages and all averages? Just come on down to the next JBT event!
