CACTUS BOWL

champs Zach Herbert, the cactus Pickle, and Theo Douthit.

Theo Douthit claimed a long-awaited first JBT SW title, while Zach Herbert climbed a very tough ladder to earn his second victory, in JBT SW action at Cactus Bowl.

The scratch division finals opened with Eric Dishong rolling a 216 to win his first stepladder match, defeating Mike Hayes (201) and Joseph Anderson (191).  In round two, Lanndyn Carnate, who opened the day with a perfect 300 game (the fifth already in JBT this season, and his own fifth 300 game- at 13 years old!), then rolled a 213 to win over David Sevier (206) and Dishong (200).  

In the semifinals, Douthit took over while the other bowlers struggled, as his 207 advanced over Carnate's 178 and Kurt Lehner's 168.  This advanced him to his third career championship match, against top-qualifier Steven Black.

Black had rolled a 290 in game 8 to capture the top seed, and was looking for his 28th career title.  Neither bowler was able to take control of the title match, however.  Black's 2-4-5 in the ninth gave Theo the lead in count, and he finished up with a 202 game.  Douthit, with a spare working, needed 9-spare-9 for the win.  However his first shot went light, leaving the 3-5, which he spared, leaving him to have to strike to win.  Douthit's last shot was pure, and the strike gave him the 202-201 victory and his first JBT SW title.

In the handicap division, Zach Herbert qualified 8th and last for the finals, then put on clutch performances the whole way through.  He began by throwing the last 5 strikes in match one for a 251 game that was just enough to edge Kris George (244) and Labriel Leach (172).  

In match two, Mark Mandell fired a huge 271, but Herbert was up to the task again, blasting a 274 to advance over Mark and a fine effort by Greg Geering (236).  Mandell did close the gap on season points leader Tyler Brown with the good showing, however.  In the semis, the tables were turned as Zach had to watch and see if Jeff Weyrauch could double to eliminate him.  Jeff got the first hit but not the second, and Zach's 229 advanced over Weyrauch (225) and Eric Rubin (204).

The title match against top qualifier Kevin Narciso was anticlimactic, unfortunately for Narciso.  On a day of unexpectedly high scoring, Kevin's +374 8-game romp (5th best in JBT SW history) led the way.  However, he had no answers for Herbert, who remained red-hot and gave Narciso no chance to catch up.  Zach's 241-180 win gave him his first title this season, and second in his JBT SW career.

Thanks to Dale Schnell and everyone at Cactus for being gracious hosts yet again. The $1,976 awarded at this event pushed us over $20,000 on the very young season!
