TOURNAMENT of ALL-TIME CHAMPIONS (Albq.)

JD Nance and Vincent Michel claimed victories in the JBT's Tournament of All-Time Champions, held at Albuquerque's Silva Lanes.

Sam Cuevas opened the scratch division stepladder finals with a 183-165 win over Bill Grant, who rolled the event's high game, a 299 during qualifying.  Jeremy Medina then came on to defeat Cuevas 223-211, and followed with a 225-218 triumph over Justin Silva to reach the title match.

Top qualifier JD Nance was the only adult to make the finals, and continued his domination of the event by running the front nine in the title match.  Just like in his junior JBT days, though, a good shot in the tenth failed to carry, and he settled for a 279-216 win over Medina, plenty good for his 19th career JBT title.

The handicap stepladder, featuring all 5 junior bowlers, opened with Eric Sanford beating Sam Zermeno 196-177.  Sanford then rolled past Susan Kurzeka 210-191, and followed with a 192-176 win over William Yoder to reach the title match.

Top qualifier Vincent Michel made only guest appearances at JBT events this season, but was clearly ready for this one, leading the tournament, and squeaking out a 194-188 win in the title match for his second career JBT victory.

We hope everyone who attended had a great time, and will spread the word about the great benefits of bowling JBT.   Big thanks everyone at Silva for another fine job hosting our event.  Over $1,900 in scholarships were awarded, and $2,341 in total prizes.  Want in on the fun?  Come on out to the next JBT event, it's as simple as that!
