HOLIDAY BOWL
champs Harley Sweigart & John Green with Girls Scratch and U17 winners Montana Cdebaca & Donius Jeffries II
Harley Sweigart picked up right where he left off in New Mexico, while John Green doubled his title total, in exciting action to open the New Mexico-Texas Conference season at Holiday Bowl in Albuquerque.
Kellen Lavery began a climb up the scratch division stepladder finals with a 228-196 win over Donius Jeffries, making a successful transition from handicap. Lavery then got past Brad Harvey 200-167, and followed with a 239-204 win over Zach Wojciechowski to advance to the title match.
Sweigart just snuck into the cut, then shot 760 in matchplay to vault into the top spot. Lavery had been wonderful in the stepladder, but lost the look in the finale, and Harley took advantage to cruise 205-137 to the title, the 25th of his JBT career, tying him for 8th with Kris George on the all-time list.
Alek Rakov opened the handicap stepladder with a 209-191 win over Audrey Campbell. Jay Heffer then snuck by Rakov 187-180. Heffer then stopped Clifford Robbins to advance to the final match.
Top seed Green took over the lead in the second round, and ran the first seven strikes in the final to not give Heffer a chance. The 291-213 final score was good for the second title of his JBT career.
Montana Cdebaca beat Bernadette Davis 205-194 for the day's Girls Scratch subdivision win, earning a charm bracelet and a bonus $50 from Priority Girl Magazine. The U17 win went to Jeffries, defeating Robbins 189-141.
