SO CAL INVITATIONAL

Daniel Hong, Leoj Chin, Ryland Pimentel, Zach Greim, Avery Domaguin, Hayden Fernandez

        Zach Greim and Hayden Fernandez each earned $1,000 scholarships as champs of the JBT 2020 So Cal Invitational, hosted by Canyon Lanes at Morongo Casino.

        After qualifying, bowlers competed in our famous triple elimination matchplay.  In the scratch division, the top four seeds survived to round eight, for the first time in recent memory.  In that round, Daniel Hong eliminated Kyle Reed, and Zach Greim got his second loss at the hands of Leoj Chin.  Hong got a bye in the next round while Zach beat Leoj, earning him the next bye.  In the de facto semifinal, Chin eliminated Hong in third, setting up a one game finale.  Greim stayed in control of that game, winning the match for the 10th title of his JBT career.  It also vaulted him to So Cal Bowler of the Year honors and got him oh so close to the All-Conference award as well, which went to Cerell Cardines.

        The handicap division was owned by top seed Hayden Fernandez.  After blowing through eight rounds 7-1, he eliminated #7 Jimmy Pfaff in one semifinal, while #3 Ryland Pimentel ousted #6 Noel Hernandez in the other.  Pimentel then needed two wins to take away the title, but Hayden gave him no chance in a game one win, sealing the victory and joining his brother Gavin as JBT champs less than a month after his win.

        None of the top five handicap bowlers could make any headway in the finals, and that left Alexis Lee with a narrow Bowler of the Year win over the other four.  The Girls Scratch Invitational went to Avery Domaguin with a win over Allison Azvedo, while U17 went to Greim with his win over Chin. 

        Big thanks to the team at Canyon for hosting us.  That's a wrap for season 24, a season unlike any other, with another crazy and fun one already underway!
