AMF SQUAW PEAK LANES

champs Kevin Saunders & Cameron Peck

On a very important double-points day, two bowlers made important leaps up the points standings with victories in JBT SW action at AMF Squaw Peak.

The scratch division finals opened up with Brandon Donnelly making his second finals in six days (he finished 5th at South Coast) a success with a 202 game that defeated Randy Cote (185) and Bryan Caldwell (166).  Round two went to Forrest Holland, as his 223 was enough to get by Jeremy Medina (182) and Donnelly (193).  Justin Medina then avenged the Medina brothers by starting with the first nine strikes en route to a big 265 score to get by Christian Jensen's fine 237, and a 203 from Holland, to advance to the title match.

Top qualifier Kevin Saunders had just snuck by Jensen in the last game of match play, but found himself in a dogfight against Medina, who is no stranger to high scores in the stepladder this year (see the Starlight Lanes results!).  In the tenth frame, both bowlers could have struck out for 255 for a tie, but it was Medina who blinked first.  After a 4-pin leave by Justin, Kevin calmly threw a perfect double for a 254-243 win, good for his 7th career JBT title, adding 100 points to his point lead in the Arizona Conference.

Alex Ellis opened round one of the handicap finals with a 224-190 victory over Robert Atherton.  Ellis got even better in round two, defeating Steven Pizzi, who moved up to #1 on the points list,  237-216.  The next match was an absolute strikefest, as Justin White, who switched to a plastic ball to conquer the drying conditions, pulled out a 261-253 thriller over Ellis to advance to the title match.

Top qualifier Cameron Peck had led since game two of the tournament, continuing to put together one of the most amazing seasons in handicap division history.  He remained untouchable in he title match, cruising to a 247-193 victory, and his fifth title of both the season and his JBT career.  The win also popped him all the way up to second on the Arizona points list, as teh plot definitely begins to thicken as spring begins. 

Everyone who finished in the top 5 qualifies for the 2006 JBT SW Arizona Invitational Tournament, the regular season's year end event, featuring a guaranteed minimum $1,000 first place scholarship in each division.  Top season-long point scorers also qualify for the 2006 JBT SW Touring Players' Championship, featuring a guaranteed minimum $2,000 first place scholarship per division!
