WINNETKA BOWL

champs Solomon Salama & Yairi Lubag with finalists

        Solomon Salama and Yairi Lubag capture JBT titles in exciting Southern California Conference action at the JBT Memorial Events hosted by Winnetka Bowl.

        Bowlers competed in head to head matchplay after a high scoring qualifying round.  In the scratch division semifinal matches, Justin Phillips ousted Joe Grondin 225-216, while the other one was an all-time thriller, with superstar lefties Harley Sweugart and Solomon Salama tying at 202, then tying at 10 again in the rolloff, until Solomon finally prevailed 10-9 to advance to the final.

        Justin had been great all day, but the title game was all Salama, as he rolled to the 17th title of his JBT career and a large $500 scholarship payday.

        In the handicap division, Timothy Kessler beat Nathan Ginsburg in one semifinal, while Lubag ousted Jacob Johnson in the other to set up the title game.  Yairi was able to pull away in the final, and with the win claimed a long awaited first career JBT title and big $500 scholarship payday.

        Jennifer Loredo made a successful visit to JBT with a win over Allison Azvedo for the Priority Girls Scratch title, while Zach Greim kept his good bowling going with a win over Dawson Reese for the U17 title.

        Huge thanks to the Salama family for helping make the big prize fund possible, as well as the team at Winnetka for their usual great hosting job.  Want in on all the fun?  Just check out our schedule and come on down!
