ALL-STAR LANES

champs and finalists

            Danny Chalmers and Anabelle Chui wrapped up an eggciting Easter weekend with JBT titles, in terrific Pacific Northwest Conference action at Silverdale's All Star Lanes.

            Bowlers moved on to a matchplay bracket after five qualifying games.  Ewan Oester was brilliant in scratch qualifying, averaging over 240, but ran into a heartbreaking one-pin loss to #16 Aiden Ruiz-Jimenez in round one.  Aiden parlayed that escape with wins over Tamia Yeager and 13 year-old Nathan Tavel to advance to the title game.  On the other half of the bracket, #2 seed Chalmers got past Aide Wong and Isaac Lleras, then threw an exciting tenth frame double to beat Alex Thompson and advance to the final.  That gave Chalmers all the momentum he needed, and downed his second straight New Mexican with a big 258-177 win.  It's Danny's 7th career title and moved him past Do Hoon Kwon for the scratch points lead with two Pac NW weekends remaining.

            Blaine Fulton was terrific in handicap qualifying to nab the top seed, but also ran into matchplay trouble, falling in round two to Samantha Slater Hoadley.  That pitted Samantha against her friend Taylor Fisher, and she emerged victorious there to advance to the finals.  On the bottom half of the bracket, 7 year-old Harvey Howe was on a tear again with two match wins, but Chui came up with the huge game necessary to top him, advancing to the title match.  In the final, Slater Hoadley struggled a bit, while Anabelle kept up a solid pace, winning the match and capturing the Canadian's first career JBT title.

            Yeager's fine day was capped off with a win over Alena McDugle for the Girls Scratch subdivision win, while Oester got some vengeance with a win over Peyton Combs for the U17 victory.  Our annual Easter Egg Hunt was a big success, with hundreds of bonus prizes won, with everyone getting at leas a few eggs courtesy of our Bonus Bunny team!  Huge thanks to the All-Star team for a fantastic job hosting our Tour for the first time!  Want in on all this fun for all ages and skill levels?  Just check out our schedule and email us your reservations today!

Dress code:  Anything goes EXCEPT tank tops, 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.
