BZ MESA
champs Cortez Schenck & Aiden Othic; Clifford Robbins, Brock Bivins, Jennifer Peterson
A new champion and our most decorated champion each earned JBT titles in exciting JBT Arizona Conference action at Brunswick Zone Mesa.
Clifford Robbins, continuing a smooth transition into the scratch division, began the stepladder finals with a 208-170 win over Harley Sweigart. Robbins then defeated reigning Bowler of the Year Lucas Rabb 193-172 to advance to the title match.
Clifford is very comfortable at Zone Mesa, having won the Invite here last season, but after beating two of our best in Harley and Lucas, he then had to take on our all-time best in top seed Cortez Schenck. Tez found a good look on the finals pair, and piled on strikes to cruise to a 235-195 win, good for the 93rd title of his JBT career.
Jason Gootzeit and Rilee Severe put on a great show to open the handicap stepladder finals, with Gootzeit escaping 239-227. Another newcomer, Aiden Othic, then beat Gootziet 248-176 to advance to the title game.
Top seed Raymond Gaiser was enjoying his best JBT performace ever en route to the #1 spot. The title match remained close throughout, and when Othic finished at 209, Raymond needed two strikes to win. When he couldn't quite get the hits, a relieved Aiden claimed a 209-206 win, good for his first career JBT title.
Brock Bivins claimed the day's U17 subdivision event with a win over Gaiser, while Jennifer Peterson claimed the Priority Girls Scratch crown with a victory over Aileen Linares.
