NELLIS 300 LANES

champs Andy Reynoso and Andrew Watkins

Andy Reynoso and Andrew Watkins picked up JBT titles in exciting Mojave Conference action at Nellis 300 Lanes on Las Vegas' Nellis AFB.

Andy won four matches to capture his 4th career JBT title, opening with a 224-175 win over first-time scratch finalist Nick Lamek.   Reynoso then fired his high game of the day to defeat Alyssa Madrid 259-177, and followed with a 234-201 win over Kris George, who came oh-so-close to winning Powerbowl earlier, to reach the title match.

Top qualifier Brandon Allred had dominated the day thoroughly, and the two engaged in a classic strike-fest in a center that had historically produced low-scoring title matches.  In the end, "LG" matched his earlier effort in a 259-243 win over Allred for the victory.

Former Bowler of the Year Alesha Pannier opened the handicap division stepladder finals with a 215-182 win over Nick McCoy.  Pannier then defeated talented youngster Donovan Koff 225-195, before Watkins stopped Pannier 218-176 to set up the title match.

Top seeded Rebeca Reguero, in contention for female Bowler of the Year, has had some of her best results this season in Mojave Conference events, and she had another fine performance to nab the top spot.  However, this time it was Watkins who performed the best in a low-scoring match, beating rebeca 195-171 to break through for his first JBT title.

Only 34 bowlers competed, yet over $1,200 in scholarship money was still awarded.  Want a piece of that guaranteed money?  Come on out to the next JBT event, it's as simple as that!
