SILVA LANES- Albuquerque

champs Andy Byer & Rachel Thompson

Andy Byer and Rachel Thompson defended their top seeds with convincing victories in JBT SW action at Silva Lanes in Albuquerque.

The scratch division finals opened with Philip Schwartz defeating Jeremy Medina 204-182 when Medina could not come up with a double in the tenth on the demanding lane conditions. Bill Grant then came on and defeated Schwartz 189-169.  In the semifinals Stephen Gaucin advanced over Grant 205-189, coming back from over 40 pins down when Grant uncharacteristically opened in his final three frames.

Top seeded Byer threw a confident game in the title match, and his 203-167 victory gave him the 4th title of his JBT SW career, and inched him closer to Grant in the tightly contested points race.

The handicap division was taken over by the younger crowd this event, as many of our single-digit-age bowlers made both the semifinals and finals.  Joesph Cormier wasn't fazed by that stat however, as he opened round one of the finals with a 205 game that just edged two younger bowlers, Sabrina Vargas (203) and Sophie Diaz (200).  In round two, Jerami Monreal uncorked a 227 game that defeated Cormier (169) and Sara Vargas (176).  Round three produced a classic, as two more younger bowlers waged an amazing battle.  While Monreal struggled to a 176, both Cerra Strickland (113 average) and Angelo Espinoza (102 average) had a turkey early in their game.  When Cerra finished with a 255 score, Espinoza needed a spare plus good count to advance.  Angelo was up to the task, converting a 10-pin and getting 9 for a 260 total, advancing him to the title match.

Top qualifier Rachel Thompson had lapped the rest of the field in qualifying, and showed no mercy in the title match against Espinoza.  The final score of 255-199 gave Thompson the first title of her JBT SW career and a big $275 scholarship payday.
