ISLETA FUN CONNECTION
champs Deo Benard with Chris Ortega, Yarelis Alvarez, Donius Jeffries
The 'mix it up' format continued to be a favorite of Deo Benard and Lauren Jaramillo, who teamed up to win JBT titles in exciting NM-TX Conference action at Isleta Fun Connection.
After singles qualifying, scratch and handicap bowlers were paired together and they bowled doubles the rest of the way. The team of Chris Ortega and Yarelis Alvarez began the stepladder finals with a 193-167 win over Donius Jeffries and Jeremy Perlinski. They rolled on in match two, beating Christian Apolonio and Faith Pinter 209-144. They climbed all the way to the title match with a 188-154 win over Harley Sweigart and Kloey Kielich.
The duo of Deo and Lauren was interesting because Deo led this same tournament last season with partner Vanessa Romero, only to be denied the title by Lauren and her partner Angel Ortega. This time they each dominated their divisions in qualifying to get paired up, and showed no signs of slowing down in the title game, They cruised past Chris and Yarelis 244-166 for the championship.
Jeffries got some vengeance with a 172-151 win over Benard for the day's U17 win, while Jaramillo completed her excellent day with a 196-174 win over Aileen Linares for the Priority Girls Scratch win.
