CANYON LANES

Singles finalists (top); Doubles finalists (bottom)

        Over $4,000 in scholarships were earned by youth bowlers of all averages and ages in a long0awaited season-opening So Cal Conference JBT weekend at Canyon.

        The scratch division star of the weekend was 13 (!) year old Elias O'Hollaren, who teamed with Zach Greim (who won the Invitational here at Canyon) to beat Solomon Salama and Kyler Orosco for the Doubles title.  He was just as tough in singles, winning over Kyle Reed, who had a chance in the tenth but did not get the double he needed.  Elias woke up as 3-tim JBT chame, and went to bed as a 5-time winner-wow!

        JP Griffin was the star in handicap, but could not find a way to finish things off for a title.  He dominated the singles portion of the event, but Brandon Rother got red-hot in the stepladder, throwing 260 scratch to beat Amanda Hanson in the semifinal, and a 210 to coast past Griffin in the title match for his first JBT title.  In doubles, Griffin teamed with Akalya Orosco to easily lead the event, but veterans Kendall Bollea and Lindsay Greim marched right up the stepladder winning all three matches, over Amanda and Ed Hanson, Ryland Pimentel and Gannon Takayesu, and Akayla and JP in the finals.  It's Kendall and Lindsay's second doubles title together, and second time both Lindsay and Zach won a doubles event on the same day!

        Katelyn Abigania defeated Avery Domaguin for the Girls Scratch subdivision event, and O'Hollaren fired 280 to take the U17 win, again over the unlucky Griffin- who ALSO started Tom Brady on his fantasy team against the Chiefs, yikes!

        The high scoring event featured three 300 games: Cerell Cardines and Brody LaRose for the youth, and Steve Smith with a 12-bagger for the adults.  Big thanks to all the adults who took time to bowl with today's kids, and Canyon for, well, existing!  (and another great job hosting us).  Want in on all the fun?  Check out our schedule and come on down!

Covid details: JBT events follow- at least- all local Covid safety protocols, which you must be prepared for.  This will likely include but not be limited to wearing masks at all times, and maintaining 6 feet of social distancing from non-family members.  Please stay posted so you're not surprised about anything required of you. Canyon regulations:  Everyone must wear a face covering at all times, including when bowling.  Each youth may bring one guardian, who will receive a guest pass, otherwise no spectators are allowed.  Only bowling equipment may be brought into the building- no chairs, food, or beverage, even water bottles.  Canyon security will be strictly enforcing this- we did great last time, please keep it up!

Lane conditions: conditions vary from event to event, and are not posted prior to the event (unless otherwise announced).  Some events do not post the pattern until after qualifying.  Be ready for anything- it makes you a better bowler!  Check out previous patterns and corresponding cut scores at the 'lane conditions' section of this website.

Dress code: Anything goes EXCEPT tank tops, hats, gym shorts, clothing promoting alcohol, drugs, or firearms, or excessively ripped or short clothing, subject solely to the director's discretion.  However, bowlers wearing slacks or dress shorts/skirts, and a 'name shirt' or PBA-style 'dye-sub' shirt, or college or high school team shirt, earn an extra 10 points on their season-long points total.  If you're not sure about dress code, check with us.  If you're new to us, about 95% of the bowlers do dress in the 'bonus' dress code, and those points become very important, so plan accordingly.
