STARLIGHT LANES

champs Bill Grant & Cassie Bacoccini

Bill Grant and Cassie Bacoccini captured JBT titles in exciting NM-TX Conference action at Starlight Lanes.

Jeremy Medina opened up the scratch division finals with as close a call as you can get, edging Jerod Florez 198-197 in game one.  Omnipresent Andy Byer then defeated Medina 196-184, before following with a 2217-216 win over steady Sam Cuevas to reach the title match.

A Byer-Grant title match is no surprise to anyone who follows this division, as the two talented bowlers found themselves the last ones standing.  They put on an entertainng finale, with Grant escaping with a 200-193 win, and his 7th career JBT title.

Andrea Jaramillo defeated Nathan Hughes 208-170 to open the handicap division stepladder finals.  Miss Bacoccini then took over, defeating Jaramillo 224-174, and backed that up with a 232-215 win over her good buddy Blake Brown to reach the finals. 

Top seed William Yoder had a great day en route to capturing the top seed, but the talented right was unable to get lined up in the title match, and Cassie took advantage for a 192-156 win, good for her first career JBT title. 

Everyone 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 everyone at Starlight for another terrific job hosting our event.  Over $1,600 in scholarships was awarded to the field.
