PBA-JBT West Region Pro-Am at Tri-City Bowl

(l-r) Champs Kyle Frederick, Alex Powell, Rachelle Davis, Lanndyn Carnate, and Taylor King

Five champions- three of them first time winners- were crowned in the annual PBA-JBT Western Region Pro-Am, hosted by Tri-City Bowl.

In each division, bowlers rolled three games with a different pro partner, with the top two advancing to a one-game playoff with a top-scoring Pro.  We believe that this is a format not used at any other PBA events, and we're grateful to the Pros for taking the time to bowl the extra game.

In the scratch division, top qualifier Lanndyn Carnate teamed with John DeBenedetta for a 426-368 win over David Sevier and David Leverage.  The win was the third of Carnate's career.

In boys' 14+ competition, #2 seed Alex Powell and pro partner David Prange upset the #1 seed Michael Kremer and Marv Sargent, 460-442.  The victory was the first of Powell's JBT SW career.

In the boys' 13- division, Kyle Frederick made his first JBT SW event a big success by teaming with Murray Hickman for a 223-192 win over Rakan Najdawi and Pat Calahan, for his first career win.

The girls 14+ division provided the noisiest match of the finals, as two JBT veterans clashed for the title.  In the end, Rachelle Davis captured win #3 with her and Darron Peters' 457-433 win over Beth Houston and Missy Bellinder.

Last but not least, the girls' 13- final match saw Taylor King and Dave Arnold, the top seeds, take out Courtney Dutton and Nick Smith 375-356, good for the first win of Taylor's JBT SW career.  

Big thanks to Terry Adolph and the staff at Tri-City for hosting us, and for putting on a fine regional event on very short notice.
