SUNCOAST BOWLING CENTER

Kendall Bollea, Gyrus Alo, Daryus Alo, Connor Bell, JT Verde

    Daryus Alo and JT Verde earned JBT titles in exciting Mojave Conference action at Las Vegas' Suncoast Bowling Center.

    Tyler Castronova began his first career scratch division finals with a 237-199 win over Edward Hear.  Alo then stopped Castronova 243-179 to advance to the title match.  Top seed Hunter Mayes grabbed the lead during matchplay, but could not find the same look on the championship pair.  The rapidly improving Alo took advantage for a 236-182 win, and a first career scratch JBT title to go along with three previous handicap division wins.

    Daryus wasn't the only Alo enjoying success on the day, as his brother Gyrus made the handicap stepladder, but fell in a very high scoring first round to JT Verde (who had the front eight strikes) 294-258.  Needing 19 pins in the tenth frame of his next match, JT got a clutch double to defeat newcomer Dominic Montoya 225-210.  Arizona's Connor Bell was red-hot all day to claim the #1 seed, but Verde remained even hotter in the finals, punctuating his impressive ladder-climb with another tenth frame double to lock up a 241-220 win, and the second championship of his JBT career.  

    Kendall Bollea stopped top seed Madison Holman to win the Girls Scratch subdivision event, while U17 went to Alo as well as a result of the stepladder win over Castronova.

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: This list may not be updated after the Friday of the event as we travel, etc.  However, walk-ins / late entries are still gladly accepted as space permits.  There is generally plenty of room for walk-ins / late entries, and we'll  post here clearly if an event is nearing sellout or sold out.

PLEASE do not forget to contact us if you need to cancel or adjust your reservation.
