SOUTH PLAINS LANES
champs Yarelis Alvarez & Michael Goodman; Lauren Jaramillo, Alek Rakov
Yarelis Alvarez and Michael Goodman enjoyed breakthrough wins in exciting JBT NM-TX Conference action at South Plains Lanes in Lubbock.
Nathan Nguyen began the scratch division stepladder finals with a 217-190 win over Blayne Hurst. Alvarez then stopped Nguyen 227-200 to reach the title match.
Top seed Harley Sweigart recovered from a rough weekend in California last week to lead this event halfway across the country the next week. However, the greatly improved Alvarez did not back down against the all-time lefty JBT titles leader. Her tenth frame strike sealed a thrilling 217-215 win, and first career scratch title.
Goodman ran the handicap stepladder, beginning with a 245-237 win over Kolton Carpenter in a very well bowled match by both players. In another squeaker, Michael got past Josie Herson 224-219 to set up the title game.
Top seed Alek Rakov enjoyed his best JBT event ever, blasting 200 after 200 to take a huge lead. He was in control in the title match as well until an eighth frame pocket 7-10 changed everything. Goodman went off teh sheet from there, and claimed an amazing 234-228 win, good for his first career JBT title.
Lauren Jaramillo defeated Alvarez 203-174 for the day's Priority Girls Scratch subdivision win, while Alvarez made it two wins on teh day by beating Eric Gauna 211-207 for the U-17 win.
