BOWLERO GLENDALE

Wyatt Ortale, Cerell Cardines, Tyler Morgan, RJ Pointon, Corbin Reid-Hirsch, Brockton Scotford, Cayden Matherly, Madison Holman

        Tyler Morgan and Brockton Scotford claimed JBT titles in sold-out Arizona Conference action at Bowlero Glendale.

        Corbin Reid-Hirsch bowled great to reach his first finals in a while, but red-hot Josh Molloy stopped him in round one of the scratch division stepladder finals 236-200.  17-time champ Cerell Cardines then stopped Molloy to advance to the title game.

        Top seed Tyler Morgan came into the day just hoping to lock down an Invitational berth, but did way better than that by averaging over 230 to take the number one spot.  Cardines was hoping to break a long victory drought, but it was not to be as Morgan stayed in control for a 213-200 win, good for the third title of his JBT career.

        Brockton Scotford led after qualifying, then hung on to make the handicap stepladder, and began a climb up it with a 218-216 squeaker over impressive newcomer Wyatt Ortale.  Brock then got on a roll, beating much-improved RJ Pointon 251-213 to reach the final.  Cayden Matherly had a breakout day to grab the top seed for the first time, but slowed down just a little in the title game.  Scotford was able to take advantage for a 216-194 win, finally capturing a long-awaited first career JBT title.

         Madison Holman kept rolling in the Girls Scratch subdivision, beating Koryn Marquez for that win, while Scotford swept his events by beating Cesar Padilla for the U17 crown.

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.

RESERVED BOWLERS:
