SANTA CRUZ LANES

champs Kevin Saunders & Chris Spinner

Kevin Saunders continued a great start to his 06-07 JBT season, while Chris Spinner tasted victory for the first time, in exciting JBT action at Santa Cruz Lanes.

Zach Simon fired the only 300 game of the day, his first ever, en route to an 11th place finish.  Jeremy Medina opened the finals with a 224 game that eliminated Will McPherson (193) and BJ Baker (160).  Brian Weyrauch then escaped with a round-two 184 that beat Medina (166) and Kyle King (177).   In a thrilling semifinal, Brian filled 20 in the tenth for a 247 game that beat Andy Byer's 246, while Miguel Lopez finished 4th with a 145.

Top qualifier Saunders took over the lead in the matchplay round, but Weyrauch had fired 750 in the semis himself to set up an interesting title match.  After a close beginning, Saunders pulled away in the late frames for a 244-179 victory and his 8th career JBT title.  He also remained atop the points lead with the big day.

Courtney Dutton opened the high scoring handicap finals with a 248 that edged Taylor Knight (242) and Mike May (173).  Dutton was solid in round two also, firing a 243 to beat Rachelle Davis (222) and Brandon Longo (189).  A thrilling semifinal saw rookie Ashley Collins blast a 260, but incredibly it wasn't enough as Spinner came up with a 273 (while Dutton had a fine 223), advancing Chris to the title match.

Top qualifier Cris Boyle had trumped all this scoring with the 5th highest 8-game handicap total (+410) in JBT history.  However, Boyle unfortunately struggled in the title match, and Spinner took advantage for a 231-168 victory and his first career JBT title.

118 bowlers competed in the event.   Everyone who finished in the top 5 qualifies for the 2007 JBT 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 2007 JBT Touring Players' Championship, featuring a guaranteed minimum $2,000 first place scholarship per division!
