   Congratulations to Shane Lien, the 2005-06 Southern California Conference Handicap Division Bowler of the Year.  In a full slate of 11 events, Shane tied for most cuts made (8) and most top 10s (5), and converted his one top 5 into a win.  In a strange way, he has Justin White to thank for the award, as Justin's three straight wins over Nick Powanda to take the Invitational title gave Shane the points lead and prevented Nick from being the only bowler with two titles, enough to give Shane the margin he needed.  Joining Shane and Nick on the All-Star team are Kyle Ruzylo, Christina Fraijo, and Kaitlin Mayall.
