WESTERN BOWL
champs Will Davis & Aiden Ruiz Jimenez (back row, center) with finalists
Will Davis and Aiden Ruiz-Jimenez showed no rust from a long break, winning titles at the JBT NM-TX regular season finale at Western Bowl in Amarillo.
Nathan Nguyen won the scratch division stepladder finals opener 224-213 over Zach Harvey. Nathan then edged hometown favorite John Green 186-178 to reach the title match. Top seed Davis picked up right where he left off before the break, beating Nguyen 217-201 for the ninth title of his excellent JBT career.
Christopher Bennett won a high scoring first round of the handicap finals 252-240 over Jordan Womble. Ruiz-Jimemez then stopped Bennett 231-218 to advance to the title match. Top seed Jared Basey rolled a good final game, but Aiden got red hot, firing a 284 (with pins)_ to earn his second career JBT title.
The Girls Scratch win went to Yarelis Alvarez with a win over Morgan Ellis, and Green came up with the U17 win in an all-Amarillo final by beating Womble.
Danielle Fincham turned out to be the biggest winner of the day, nailing the Powerbowl jackpot in exciting fashion for a cool $1,000 scholarship payday!
Big thanks to the team at Western for filling in when we were forced to relocate the event- great job! Top bowlers now advance to the NM-TX Invitational, featuring $1,000 for first place.

You can still 'jump into' the Invitational pending the results of this event. Points are updated after this event as soon as possible; check the website for this update if you hope to qualify via points.

Points: This event counts for double NM-TX and All-Conference points.
