NM-TX DOUBLES

champs Brian Weyrauch, Jeff Hemer, and Jennifer & Josh Brown

A sold-out, action packed Doubles event saw two juniors win their first JBT titles in exciting JBT NM-TX Conference action at Tenpins & More.

Californians JR Monteith and Shane Peck opened up the Baker-style stepladder finals with a 210-198 victory over the Gaucin brothers, George and Stephen.  Shane and JR rolled on in round two, defeating the father-son team of Marcus and Jeremy Medina 234-182.  One more Medina was too much for them, however, as Justin Medina and Eric Martin (who had the day's high individual effort with a 299 in qualifying) edged Peck and Monteith 216-215 to reach the final match.

Top qualifiers Weyrauch and Hemer squeaked into the top seed, but charged out of the gates in the title match with the first eight strikes before a boneheaded washout by Hemer prevented Baker perfection.  Brian got the final three strikes for a 263-224 final score, good for a long-awaited first JBT title of Weyrauch's career.

The mother-son team of Taylor and Elona Cruz opened the handicap Baker stepladder finals with a 210-169 win over Blake Brown and Cassie Bacoccini.   The father-son team of Thomas Gutierrez Sr. and Jr. then controlled the Cruz crew 184-169.  In a closely contested semifinal, Amanda Johnson and Mariah Martinez edged the Gutierrez team 174-168 to reach the title match.

Top qualifiers Josh Brown and his mom Jennifer engaged in a back and forth match with Amanda and Mariah.  In the tenth frame, needing a mark to win, Amanda hooked by a spare, leaving the match tied at 159, the first title match tie in a very long time.  Finishing last in the rolloff, Josh regrouped, sparing a 4-pin cluster for a 40-30 win and his first career JBT title.

Every junior who finished in the top 5 qualifies for the 2007 JBT NM-TX 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 2007 JBT Touring Players' Championship, featuring a guaranteed minimum $2,000 first place scholarship per division! 

Big thanks to Steve Mackie and the crew at Tenpins & More for another terrific job hosting our event.  $3,200 in scholarships was awarded to a near-sellout 93 team field!
