SPARE TIME LANES

champs Tyler Coates & Kaylee Lundgren; Jerry Jennings, Aydri Turnbull

        Tyler Coates and Kaylee Lundgren picked up JBT titles in exciting Pacific Northwest Conference action at Spare Time Lanes in Kennewick. 

        Bowlers competed in the exciting 'oadotat' format, where lower seeded bowlers have to win twice to win matches, where higher seeded bowlers need to only win once.  This makes qualifying pinfall extremely important even in a pins-dropped matchplay format.  In the scratch division semifinals, #3 Jerry Jennings won twice against #2 Kyle Adams to advance, while #4 Tyler Coates pulled off the underdog trick as well, ousting #1 Ashton Yamasaki in two close games.  That left Jennings as the highest seed, so Coates would have to win two more games for the title.  Tyler, already with a reputation as a tough matchplay bowler, bolstered that with two wins against the also tough Jennings to take the title, the seventh of his JBT career, and a sweep of the weekend.

        In the handicap semifinal matches, Lundgren ousted TPC champ Noah Sicard in two games, and Colby Hull completed the underdogs' four match sweep with a win over Aydri Turnbull to set up the final match.  In the finale, seeding finally held, as Colby beat Aydri in game one to capture the first title of her JBT career.

        Turnbull also bowled for the Girls Scratch subdivision.  Payton Bower beat her 182-180 for that title, her first (but she and Aydri tied with handicap in that eventful game, causing a rolloff which Aydri won, propelling her run to the finals).  U17 was swept by Ashton Yamasaki, this time with a win over Bradley Baltazar.
