KINGPINS
champs Tyger Miller & AJ Hooper; Evan Smith; Hunter Bower
Tyger Miller and AJ Hooper earned JBT titles in exciting Pacific Northwest action at Kingpins Portland.
Simon Dyck rolled the high game of the day for a 275-184 win over Hunter Bower to begin the scratch division stepladder finals. Dyck cooled off in teh next game and Miller took advantage for a 187-154 win and a trip to the title match.
Top seed Ashton Yamasaki continued his romp through the Tour this season by leading again. However, he could not get locked in on the championship pair. Tyger, conversely, was able to string the strikes, and the 236-195 win was good for the second title of his JBT career.
Newcomer Abbie Kay began the handicap stepladder with a 233-221 win over Joshua Iverson. Kay remained hot in a 219-195 win over Silas LeBlanc to reach the title game.
Top seed AJ Hooper dominated the event right from round one, way ahead of the field after the semifinals. However, you still have to win the last game, and it came down to the final frame. Needing a tenth frame spare, AJ calmly converted a 10-pin for a 210-200 win over a great effort from Abbie, good for his first career JBT title.
Hunter Bower finally broke through for a U17 win with a victory over Yamasaki. The Evan Smith Express rolled on in Priority Girls scratch, as she won her third straight event to open the season, this one over Jessica Holbrook.
