TEXAS STATION

champs Joe Gerencser & Miya Greene; Gael Egana, April McDonnell, Justyce McCoy; Egana & Zach Greim

        Joe Gerencser and Miya Greene captured JBT titles in exciting Mojave Conference action at Texas Star Lanes in North Las Vegas.

        Gael Egana opened the stepladder finals in the scratch division with a 231-201 win over Kyle Gilbert.  He then made it a doubleheader sweep over the Kyles, this time besting Kyle Reed 257-212 to reach the title match.

        Egana fell short the day before in the title match with his doubles partner Zach Greim, and wanted to finish the deal today, but top seed Gerencser was not going to allow that.  After a shaky mid-game, the powerful righty ran the back five for a 212-167 win, good for the 9th title of his excellent JBT career.

         Josh Weber began the handicap finals with a 254-208 win over Lexi Cassman.  Greene then stopped Weber 243-219 with a clutch tenth frame finish to reach her first career title match.

        Justyce McCoy teamed with her brother Jayson for a runner-up finish in Doubles the day before, and kept on rolling here all the way to the top seed.  Miya was in control until a tenth frame open left the door open for McCoy.  Justyce was able to get a mark, but a short count on the fill ball left a stunned Greene with a 239-237 win, and her first career JBT title.

        April McDonnell won the day's Priority Girls Scratch event with a 193-188 win over Katelyn Abigania.  Egana squared off with Greim for the U17 title, and the match was won by Zach 223-212. 

        Thanks as always to the incredible Jerry Francomano and his team for hosting us.  Want in on all the fun?  Just come on out to the next JBT event!
