ANTELOPE LANES

champs Ryan Perry & Luis Garcia with Brock Bivins, Solomon Salama, Cesar Padilla, Stefanny Toala

        Ryan Perry and Luis Garcia captured JBT titles at Antelope Lanes in Prescott Valley in exciting JBT Arizona Conference action.

        In the scratch division semifinals, Harley Sweigart escaped from Cristian Roque 238-226, while Perry stopped Solomon Salama 237-204.  Roque's fine day also included an exciting 296 game in qualifying, the high game by far on a generally high scoring day, 

        As dominant as Sweigart has been at times this season, Perry seems to be his kryptonite.  In the day's 'pick your poison' format, there was nobody else to pick, so Harley was stuck facing Ryan again, and for the third time, Ryan beat him for a title (once before in singles and once in doubles).  This time, the 238-222 final was good for the 5th title of Perry's JBT career.

        In the handicap division,  Cesar Padilla outstruck CJ Todeschi 247-18 and Luis Garcia poured it on 252-191 against Keith Ylvisaker to set up the title match.  Both bowlers, looking for their first titles, put on excellent performances, but in the end Garcia had enough for a 245-234 win and a long awaited first career JBT title.

        Stefanny Toala escaped from Aileen Linares 163-159 for the day's Priority Girls Scratch subdivision win, while Solomon Salama returned to his winning form in the U17 event, defeating Brock Bivins for the day's win.
