AMF FIREBIRD

champs Jerry Jennings & Toby Mills; Payton Edwards, Brooklyn Boudreau

        Jerry Jennings and Toby Wills picked up JBT titles in exciting Pacific Northwest Conference action at AMF FIrebird Lanes in Salem.

        After qualifying, bowlers competed in 'pick your survivor' action, with the low bowler out pair by pair until only the last survivor stood.  In scratch, Jerry Jennings blasted 268 to win one semifinal match over Payton Edwards' 211, while in a thriller, Bradley Baltazar escaped 212-211 from Tyler Boe to set up the title match.   Jennings had totally dominated the day, but both he and Bradley could not find the carry in the final, grinding out spares and keeping things tight.  In the end, Jennings squeezed out a 194-192 win, good for the fourth title of his JBT career.

        Handicap semifinal matches featured Toby Wills defeating Lucas LeBlanc 187-175, while Halie Martin beat Peyton Freund 212-191, setting up a title match between two JBT non-winners.  It was Toby who remained in control in the final, getting past  Martin 191-174, to win the first title of his young JBT career.

        Brooklyn Boudreau earned the day's Priority Girls Scratch subdivision win with a win over Martin, while Edwards just snuck out a U17 win over Tyler Coates 1-0.
