HOLIDAY BOWL

champs Billy Read and Tevynn Laws

      Billy Read and Tevynn Laws opened the 08-09 JBT NM-TX Conference season with victories in exciting action at Holiday Bowl.

      Jess Gagliardi opened up the scratch division semifinals with the high game of the entire tournament, a 279, to defeat William Entsminger's 208.  Nathan Shock then beat Gagliardi in an all-Colorado battle, 218-203.  Shock then beat Matt Helmick 215-182 to reach the title match.

     Top seed Billy Read, bowling in his first scratch event after capturing handicap Bowler of the Year honors in handicap last year, used a solid semifinal effort to leap to the #1 spot.  In a situation where he'd be more than forgiven for being too nervous to handle, he showed the same lack of fear that earned him 4 previous titles including the Main Event, and defeated Shock 212-203, for his first scratch win.

    Laws climbed the 8-person stepladder for his first career title.  His 244 opener was good enough to beat Stephanie Barela (223) and first time finalist CJ Stout (193).  Tevynn won round two with a 219 game that beat 192 efforts from both Jacob Gill and John Stomp.  Tevynn then ran into some hand cramping issues, but was able to persevere with a 235 game, beating Mike Romero (219) and Jeremy Larance (169), advancing to the title match.

   Top seed Roger Johnson had a huge day en route to capturing the top seed, but Tevynn was on a roll not to be denied.  His 224-211 title match victory earned him that long awaited first career title.
