MILWAUKIE BOWL

champs Mac Kaurin & Kenji London; Ashton Yamasaki, Colt Jance; Juliauna Gosney-Tuiloma; Jerry Jennings

        Mac Kaurin and Kenji London kept the youth movement going, capturing their first career JBT titles in exciting Pacific Northwest Conference action at Dave Husted's historic Milwaukie Bowl.

        Kaurin won three matches in the stepladder finals, beginning with a 242-213 win over fellow first time scratch finalist Paul Rosales.  In the semifinal match, he got by qualifying leader AJ Hooper 193-177. 

        Top seed Ashton Yamasaki continued his hot start by leading the event here, but Mac hung tough in the title match.  However, a short count in the tenth gave Yamasaki a chance to strike out to tie.  Ashton did just that, forcing a one-shot rolloff.  After Yamasaki got an 8-count, Kaurin flushed a strike for a thrilling first career JBT title.

        Colt Jance also had an exciting climb up the handicap stepladder, starting with a 247-243 squeaker over Halie Martin.  Colt then snuck by first time finalist McKenna Oller 238-226 to reach the title game.

        Top seed London was leading an event for the second time this season, but this time came out with a better result in the finale.  Despite a terrific split conversion from Colt in the tenth, Kenji crushed three more racks in teh tenth for a 256-233 win and his first career JBT title.

        Kaurin also won U17 with his head to head win over Hooper, while the Priority Girls Scratch win went to first timer Juliauna Gosney-Tuiloma, beating WendyJo LaTurner for the crown.  Jerry Jennings nailed the '24' jackpot for a $100 bonus, and Kierra Wilcox won the day's Ebonite ball.
