STARLITE LANES

champs Deo Benard & Caden Meliska; Elizabeth Romero

        Deo Benard swept the weekend, while Caden Meliska won for the first time, in exciting dual-conference JBT action at Starlite Lanes in beautiful Flagstaff.

        Bowlers competed in the exciting 'super survivor' format, where the low game and low series are eliminated game by game.  Scratch qualifiers were carved down to a final four, and in that game, Solomon Salama bowed out with low game, and Harley Sweigart fell with low series, leaving Deo Benard (who shot 276) and Cerell Cardines to play for the title.

        Benard was able to defeat the dangerous Cardines to sweep the scratch titles on the weekend, and make it seven titles for his JBT career.

        High scores were the order of the day in the handicap division.  Three survivors eventually remained, with the high game of those three to take the title.  Gavin Holter, who had been great all day, struggled a bit to a third place finish.  Madison Holman fired a 200 game that may have won the title in many occasions, but Meliska came up with a giant 223 scratch game, plenty to claim his first career JBT title.

        Benard completed his dominant day with a win over Holter for the U17 subdivision title.  The Priority Girls Scratch subdivision went to Elizabeth Romero, beating Kaylee Am-Khong in that final.
