EVERGREEN LANES

McKenna Oller, Logan Winchell, Harry Davis, Piper Chalmers, Kenji London

        Harry Davis and McKenna Oller claimed breakthough wins in exciting JBT Pacific Northwest Conference action at Evergreen Lanes in Everett.

        Canada's Kyle Adams began the scratch division stepladder finals with a 218-183 win over Preston Craig.  Paul Rosales then defeated Adams in the semifinal (the two had won handicap and scratch here at the same time four seasons ago) to advance to the title match.  Top seed Davis led a JBT event for the first time, and like Rosales was looking for his first scratch title.  Unfortunately for Paul he struggled in the final, and Harry was able to take advantage for the win, turning his own season-long struggles around and becoming a JBT champion!

        Owen Barrett made his first handicap finals a success with a win over Alena McDugle in round one.  Reigning TPC champ Logan Winchell them stopped Barrett in round two to play not only his league teammate but his cousin, McKenna Oller, for the title.   The finale remained close for most of the game, but Oller pulled away late to earn a long-awaited first career JBT title.

        Kenji London also had a breakout day, averaging over 240 to lead qualifying, then regaining that form to win the U17 final over Davis.  Piper Chalmer beats Texan Joleigh Murphy for the Girls Scratch title.  Colt Jance nailed the '26' jackpot for a quick $100 bonus, Charlie Simperman had the high game of the day with an excellent 299 effort, and Toby Wills claimed the day's Ebonite ball, courtesy of our amazing title sponsor, all just part of the fun for all ages and skill levels.  Big thanks to Jason Hoff and his team for being perfect hosts and making it happen.

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, the vast majority of the bowlers do dress in the 'bonus' dress code, and those points become very important, so plan accordingly.
