TRIANGLE BOWL

champs and finalists

        Andrew Guba and Zachary Rebollido picked up JBT titles in the Pac NW regular season finale at Triangle Bowl in Longview.

        Brayden Wills, Toby's brother, qualified for the Invite with the finals appearance, and made it even better with a 219-210 win over Thomas McDugle to begin the handicap stepladder.  Keiden Cabanting then squeaked by Wills 213-206 to advance to the finals.  Rebollido had dominated the tournament, leading since game four, and the two Kingpins products both bowled well.  In the end, Zachary got past Keiden 233-218, to earn the first title of his JBT career.

        Guba has been absolutely tearing up the Tour, and the Pac NW has been no exception.  The Las Vegan began the scratch stepladder with a 208-179 win over Harry Davis.  He then blasted a 277 to beat Ashton Yamasaki's 23, advancing to the title match against first-time top seed Mac Reese.  Mac has been rapidly improving, but nobody has been able to stop Guba lately, and his 229-223 squeaker over Reese was good for the landmark 10th title of his JBT career.

        Mac's great day continued with a win over Liam Hardman for the day's U17 title, and Piper Chalmers got past Sienna Stoner for the Girls Scratch win before heading off to graduation!  Big thanks as always to the team at the beautiful Triangle Bowl for their usual great hosting job.  The top season-long bowlers now advance to the JBT Pac NW Invitational,. with $1,000 top scholarships up for grabs!
