SO CAL BAKER TEAM CHALLENGE

Ronnie Castillo, Joshua Yamauchi, Zachary Jellsey, Andre Eubanks, Zack Jellsey

        A talented quintet captured the title at the JBT So Cal Baker Team Challenge, hosted by Montclair's Bowlium Lanes.

        The team of "For Henry" (Sarah, Andrew, Mac, Ricky, Oscar) led qualifying, but fell in the semifinals to the eventual champs.  The all-youth Las Vegas quintet- who all love their moms- would face them, but a great finish in game two by Andrew and Zack locked up a 2-0 title match sweep, and JBT titles for Ronnie Castillo, Joshua Yamauchi, and Zachary Jellsey.

        Brandon Howard won a $50 scholarship bonus for winning the 'halftime show' competition, while Andre won the adult version for a $50 bonus.  Huge thanks to Al and the Bowlium teams for giving us Saturday night lanes to host this annual favorite, as well as all the adult bowlers taking the time to bowl with today's JBT kids.  Want in on all this fun?  Just check out our schedule and come on down!

Start Time: Bowling begins at 7 PM, or as soon as the lanes can be re-oiled at the conclusion of the earlier Doubles event..

Re-entries?:  There's only one qualifying squad, so there are no re-entries this event..

Reservations:  Please email director@bowljbt.com to reserve a spot.  You can prepay (not required) at the 'Prepaying' section of this website.  Reservations (paid or unpaid) must check in no later than 15 minutes before start time.  At that time, all bowlers will be taken on a first come, first serve basis until the field is full.

Divisions/ Averages:  Scratch only.  However, each team must have at least one bowler averaging 170 or less as of 11/8/22.  Additional 170 and under bowlers receive 8 pins per game for their team.

Points:  This event still counts for Southern California Conference, and All-Conference points.  Points qualify you for the big money season-ending Invitationals and Touring Players Championship, so get all you can.  Visit the 'statistics' section of the website to check on your points.  As the end of the season, the top 32 in Southern California Conference points, plus anyone who had a top-4 finish in a Southern California Conference event this season (including this), advance to their respective Invitationals.

Entry fee: $125 per team.
