TOURNAMENT of ALL-TIME CHAMPS & FUTURE CHAMPS

champs & finalists

        Two bowlers added to their title collections, while two tasted victory for the first time, at the JBT's annual Tournament of Champs and Future Champs, hosted by Phoenix's beautifully remodeled Let It Roll.

        In the all-time champs event, the current JBT bowlers shut the adults out of the finals for the first time in a while, and the resulting stepladder began with Keith Ylvisaker squeaking by all-conference points leader Andrew Guba in round one.  Josh Molloy then got past Ylvisaker to reach the title match... where he ran into an absolute runaway freight train in top seed Brandon Rother.  Rother won the AZ Invitational the day before, and kept destroying racks here today, starting with the front six to put Molloy away early and earn the 8th title of his JBT career.  Rother earned a total of $1,515 on the lucrative weekend, but Josh beat that with a whopping $1,600- $1,000 of that coming from breaking the long PowerBowl drought with a jackpot winning 5-count!

        Handicap champs began their stepladder with Terell Coates squeaking by Austin Nash by three pins.  Isaac John then beat Coates to setup an all-New Mexico title game between him and top seed Aiden Ruiz Jimenez.  A 10-pin in the ninth frame stopped a comeback attempt by Aiden, and John claimed his second career title with the TOC victory.

        Both non-champs finals featured commanding ladder-climbs, as Devin Fincham rolled past Nathan Bravo, Zackary Evans, and top seed Sterling Smith, to finally earn his first career JBT title.  Dylan Donahue didn't look anything like a non-champ in the scratch division, as he blasted 712 in a three-game romp over Ryan Zent, Jason Gootzeit, and top seed Nathan Harnit (who was trying out scratch for the first time!), to erase 'non-champ' from his resume.

        Gootzeit emerged with the day's U17 win, while Peyton Lee beat Kendall Bollea to take the girls scratch subdivision. Giant thanks to Let It Roll for their usual hospitality, and especially all the JBT alumni coming back to bowl with today's JBT stars and stars in the making.  An enormous $11,210 was awarded over the weekend to wrap up an incredible regular season, with roughly double that up for grabs at the TPC in July!
