PARADISE LANES

Mac Kaurin, Ashton Yamasaki, Tommy Le, Hailey Johnson, Kadie Dicken, Danny Chalmers, Tamia Yeager, Bud Sicard, Duke Knudsen

        Ashton Yamasaki and Hailey Johnson wrapped up the JBT Pac NW regular season with big wins in exciting action at Paradise Lanes.

        Duke Knudsen began the scratch division stepladder finals with a 255-200 win over Bud Sicard.  Mac Kaurin then stopped Duke 197-165 to reach the final.  Top seed Ashton Yamasaki awaited there, and he continued to look as tough as he had all day.  Ashton took over the tournament lead from Bud in game 5, and finished off the tournament win with a 229-187 victory over Kaurin, good for the ninth title of his JBT career.

        Johnson climbed the ladder in the handicap division in three tense matches, beginning with a 226-214 win over Tamia Yeager.  A thrilling second round saw her escape 258-248 over Danny Chalmers to reach the finals.  Tommy Le qualified for tomorrow's Invite with the top-4 finish, but wanted to win his first title at the same time.  Four 9-misses hampered his effort, but he still had a chance in the tenth frame.  Le couldn't get the double he needed, and as a result it was Johnson earning her first JBT title with the 208-204 nailbiter!

        Kadie Dicken blasted a front-9, 276 game to take the Girls Scratch win over fellow first time finalist Tamia Yeager.  Sicard had some consolation with a win over Kaurin for the U17 subdivision win.  Huge thanks to the team at Paradise for their usual great hosting job.  Top bowlers now move on to the Pac NW Invitational, with $1,000 top prizes and TPC berths on the line!
