SURF BOWL

champs Solomon Salama & Marshall Degnan; Miya Greene, Zach Greim, Jon Verde, Kayden O'Dell

        Solomon Salama and Marshall Degnan earned JBT titles at Oceanside's Surf Bowl in terrific JBT So Cal Conference action.

        Scores were among the highest of the season, highlighted by the 5th game of qualifying, where Zach Greim fired 298- and was only 2nd highest on the pair, as Elias O'Hollaren scored his first JBT 300.  Greim survived through the 'pick your poison' matchplay rounds, including a tough 258-237 semifinal win over Leoj Chin, to reach the title match.  In the other semifinal, Salama squeaked by Gael Egana 228-225 to set up a rematch of the previous day's title match.  The lanes got a little tricky in the second half of the match, and in the end Greim needed a strike to win.  Zach couldn't get the hit, and Solomon escaped with the win, another doubleheader sweep, and the 26th title of his JBT career.

        Sixteen handicap qualifiers were carved down to four, and in the semifinal matches, Degnan stopped Jon Verde 225-209, and Kayden O'Dell beat Maikayla Villa 225-196 to set up the title game.  O'Dell was trying to win his first title for the second straight day.  He put up another good fight, but Degnan was too much, stringing strikes late for the win and his first career JBT title.

        Greim did sweep the weekend's U17 events, this time beating O'Hollaren, while Miya Greene beat Avery Domaguin for the Priority Girls Scratch title.
