STRIKE GOLD LANES

champs John Green & Christopher Bennett; Yarelis Alvarez, Daunte Uribarri, Brad Harvey, Jordan Womble

        John Green and Christopher Bennett picked up JBT titles in high scoring action at Pojoaque Pueblo's Strike Gold Lanes.

        Daunte Uribarri began the scratch division stepladder finals with a 224-221 thriller over Aileen Linares.  Green then stopped Uribarri 205-135 to reach the title game.  Top seed Brad Harvey had been at our near the top of the leaderbaord all day, but ran into a buzzsaw in a determined Green, who won the match 245-205 for his second career JBT title, but long awaited first scratch victory.

        Bennett began a climb up the handicap division stepladder with a 248-216 win over first time finalist Gillian Mulder.  Bennett then got past another rookie, Max Martin, 247-196, to reach the title game.  Top seed Jordan Womble had been flat out dominant all day long, rolling a top-10 all-time 8-game total.  However, like Brad in scratch, he ran into a red-hot opponent, and Bennett won the final 227-215 for the first title of his JBT career.

        In a battle of cousins, Yarelis Alvarez doubled in the tenth for a 212-201 win over Aileen Linares for the Priority Girls Scratch subdivision title.  U17 went to Uribarri, with a 241-181 win over Tylor MacPhee.  Ivan John nailed the 24 jackpot for a quick $108 bonus!
