The match was between DV8 and the Pro- fessional Approach, who had both outlasted 18 other teams over the long winter season to make it to this far. And when all was said and done, the DV8 squad had won the championship. The match was a best of five, using all of the pat- terns that had been bowled on during the course of the season. First team to win three games would win the title, and the cash. With four patterns in play during the year, should the match go to game five, the Pro- fessional Approach would pick the pattern for the final game, a right they earned DV8: Sam Hitchcock, Dave Kovach, Ashkan Tahvildaran, Scott Poddig, Jeff Carr and Del Rio Lanes General Manager Mike Cammarata. bRUNSWICK INVITATIONAL COMES dOWN TO FINAL GAME TEAM dV8 PREVAILS TO WIN THE $16,000 by being the top seed. Be- fore the match began, the Professional Approach had decided they would choose the first pattern, the house shot, if the match went that long. Game #1 was bowled on the second round pattern, the short oil. The game was tight throughout and within a mark heading into the 10th frame. With both teams trading an open and a couple marks, the game came down to the anchors. Billy Myers Jr. was on a strike, and proceeded to get the first in the 10th. That put the pressure on the an- chor for DV8, Sam Hitch- cock. He calmly responded with a double, to ice game one and put DV8 in front, 1-0. Myers led the pair with 202, but very steady scor- ing from DV8 was enough to win, 716-699. Game #2 was bowled on the fourth round pattern, the USBC El Paso team event shot. This game be- longed to the Professional Approach. They didn’t get off to a great start, with four opens in the first two frames, but DV8 kept giv- ing the momentum back, until the Pro Approach team started to find their lines and put some doubles together. Scott Poddig put together a five bagger for DV8 to try and spark a rally, but he didn’t have enough help, while the Pro- fessional Approach kept filling frames. Art Jones Jr. finished with 208 and Son- ny Dew had 206, to lead the Pro Approach in this game to a 757-672 victory, eve- ning the match at one game apiece. The third game used the house shot, the first round pattern, and the strikes be- gan to come, as expected. Strikes, and strings of them throughout the game for both teams. The lefties struggled a bit, one for each team, as Jeff Carr of DV8 and Billy Myers of Profes- sional Approach couldn’t quite find the line, or carry, or breaks. Jeff struck a bit early, while Billy un- characteristically struggled throughout. For the Profes- sional Approach, Ramiro Garcia (260), Sonny Dew (253) and Art Jones (236) did all they could to help Fountain Bowl. Monacelli, who quali- fied fourth for the finals, beat top qualifier hall of famer Parker Bohn III of Jackson, N.J., 266-247, in the title match to win his first PBA50 Tour title of the season and the sixth of his career. Monacelli benefited from a bad break for Bohn, who was trying for his fourth career PBA50 Tour title, when Bohn left a pocket 7-10 split in the sec- ond frame. “All the matches were very close,” said the 54- year-old Monacelli. “It was important to stay focused and low key, not get too ex- cited if I’m leading or too low if I’m losing. If I stay calm I’ll have a clear mind to make the adjustments and the good shots that I need to make.” In the semifinal match, Monacelli defeated hall of famer Walter Ray Williams Jr., of Oxford, Fla., trying for his 11th career PBA50 Tour title and second of the season, 249-245. Mo- nacelli needed two strikes and a seven count in the 10th frame but threw three strikes to win the match. “That was an example of a good test for my men- tal game,” Monacelli said. “I basically needed to have three strikes in the 10th to win and if I wasn’t calm so that I could make good shots I would have lost the match.” Monacelli opened the stepladder finals by beat-

WINNETKA — Mario McKenzie, 46, and Mike Co-hen, 53, both pre-registered as single entrants needing partners for the first sport-Tap Doubles tournament June 4 at Winnetka Bowl.

In a previously bowled doubles event, the two finished a forgettable 14th place as a team. Then crossing paths a second time, when paired together again by chance, McK-enzie, who averages 195 and Cohen a 175, outbowled 37 other teams to finish in first place.

This was no easy feat considering their competition consisted of some of the Valley’s most prominent bowl-ers: Charles Kenny, who’s currently averaging a stagger-ing 242 and Johnnie Englehart, who has booked 63 perfect games and 67 800 series.

When asked about bowling the Montreal (oil) pattern, Cohen admits to having a slight edge as he has been bowl-ing a sport-shot league at Corbin Bowl in Tarzana; howev-er, it was McKenzie, with zero sport-shot experience who turned out to be the big winner of the day. Taking home more than $400 in winnings, McKenzie credits, “Proper preparation prevents poor performance. I was just trying to focus on my bowling and carry over all the things I’ve been practicing.”

Cohen chimes in with advice: “Don’t get angry; what-ever happens, happens and let the pins fall where they may.” Positive, and also confident, “Of course I expected to win though,” Cohen half-jokes.

Looking to defend their title, McKenzie and Cohen have already pre-registered as a team for next month’s sport-tap tournament July 9 at Winnetka Bowl.

The optional 300 game side pot totaling nearly $300 will be carried over to July’s event as none of the 76 participants bowled a perfect no-tap game.

Cohen finished with a 620 series (193, 230, 197) and McKenzie recorded a stunning 762 series (288, 243, 231). The two won $386 for their first-place finish, scoring a handicap-aided 1,598.

Dave Quintero and Dave Quintero Jr. took second at 1,526 and won $260; Cari Hansen and Roger Paskell finished third at 1,474 and claimed $130; and Ida Farber and Veronica Boone placed fourth at 1,466 and earned $60.

Mike Willis, longtime Winnetka Bowl general manager thought, “It was a wonderful tournament and looking forward to the next event.” speaking to me, Mike says, “You and Carl (Comrie) did a great job!”

Co-Tournament director, Carl Comrie, laughs and states, “The tournament turned out so good because Amy promoted it very well, BUT I would like ALL bowlers to pre-register and if you can’t come, call somebody!!” In his friendly Ja-maican accent, Comrie warns, “I want this entire quote published, you hear? Bowlers need to pre-register.”

For results and pictures from the June 4 tournament as well as news and pre-registration for all upcoming events can be done on www.sportshotbowling.com

I’d like to extend BIG thanks to everyone who came out to support the first tournament of the Winnetka summer series. Bowlers came from several local (Valley) alleys to compete, and others even drove from as far as Riverside, Ven-tura and Valencia. I’d like to make a special mention to Mike Fahey, who traveled over 600 miles from Eureka, Calif., to bowl a 703 series (with handicap). We hope to see Mike and the rest of the participants July 9.

Pre-register on www.sportshotbowling.com or call/text Amy at (714) 293-7031.

LAs VEGAs — Pete Weber’s record-setting victory in the suncoast PBA senior U.s. Open included a fourth consecutive PBA50 Tour title, but that was just one in a se-ries of highlights from the PBA50 Tour’s first major championship of the 2016 season:

● In his third Suncoast Senior U.S. Open Tournament appearance, Weber joined Tom Baker (2005-06), Wayne Webb (2008-09) and Amleto Monacelli (2012-13) as the fourth player to win back-to-back titles in the event. Weber also had a runner-up finish in 2014 when he lost to Norm Duke, 214-174, in the title match.

● Weber’s win was his third PBA50 major title (he also won the 2013 USBC Senior Masters). Tom Baker has won the most PBA50 majors with four, including two senior U.s. Opens (2005-2006) and two senior Masters (2006-2007).

● Weber is tied with the late Earl Anthony for the most majors won in PBA Tour com-petition (10), but with his three PBA50 Tour majors, Weber has set himself apart with 13 overall majors. Anthony never won a major title in his limited PBA50 Tour career.

● Harry Sullins needs a win in the suncoast senior U.s. Open to hit for the cycle. With his second place finish this year he now has a second, a third (2011), a fourth (2009) and a fifth-place finish (2010).

PACIFIC COAST dEAF bOWLING ASSOCIATION SET TO CELEbRATE IT’S 75TH ANNIVERSARy JUNE 27-30 AT SUNSET STATION HOTEL bOWLING CENTER

HENDERsON — In the June 2nd issue of Bowling News’ National Deaf Bowling News column, this writer wrote about having Pacific Coast Deaf Bowling Association’s operating rules changed to like that of Great Lakes Deaf Bowling Association. It was not a simple task but it was hastily done in time to present for a vote in the captains and host clubs’ 1961 meeting. This writer was fortunate to have help of two late friends Frank Bush and Paul Fest. Charles Hart and host Valley silent Club appointed me as the secre-tary treasurer and gave me the power to select the PCDBA President and Vice-President. Bush and Fest were selected to fill the offices respectively.

Perfectly as Frank Bush, prior to moving to California from Chicago, served two years (1940-41) as member of the GLDBA Law Committee and in Los Angeles was PCDBA secretary and director of 1948 tournament. Paul Fest as mentioned before was the first secretary in PCDBA’s founding helped when we three worked on the progress of chang-ing the rules. Three before tournament date we completed and mailed the new rules out to deaf clubs in PCDBA region requesting their captains and delegates to attend the important meeting during the tournament. Then Bush regretfully resigned as president because his daughter in seattle was getting and the ceremony was on same date as the tournament.

Both Hart and Fest did not want replace Bush, so the club’s President Bennie Maucere was asked to take over the job of running the meeting and help Fest on each rules. Dur-ing the tournament the two days meeting went well with most of the rules approved with some to be ratified in the next year’s event at spokane. We are grateful to Hart, Maucere, Fest and Bush for their help in this change.

The first Pacific Coast Deaf Masters event with 19 entries was given a trial run and also to be voted at spokane for approval to be part of PCDBA event.

CHICAGO – The Professional Bowlers Association kicked off a membership drive to-day, offering bowlers who are chasing the dream of competing at the highest levels of the sport a special waiver for the traditional initiation fee, an opportunity to participate in the members-only PBA World series of Bowling VIII and, for active members of the Ameri-can Armed Forces, complimentary membership for the duration of the 2016 season.

PBA’s 2016 membership drive arrives at the perfect time, with a PBA Tour schedule looming that offers seven Xtra Frame PBA Tour title events, a multi-event PBA Fall swing in Detroit and the PBA Fall Classic in Las Vegas in addition to the eighth annual PBA World series of Bowling which will close out the year at Reno’s National Bowling stadium.

In addition to the domestic schedule, PBA Tour players will have the option to par-ticipate in a handful of PBA International-World Bowling Tour events, and an extensive schedule of more than 100 PBA Regional tournaments across the U.s. while women and players 50-and-older have their own exclusive opportunities.

Bowlers who are on active-duty with the U.s. military will be granted free membership for the rest of 2016; all they have to do is apply.

WINNETKA – One thing is clear. some bowling tournaments are making a splash in the san Fernando Valley and others are struggling to find their footing.

One week after a sport-tap doubles tournament lured 38 teams to Winnetka Bowl, the West Coast senior Tour was forced to cancel its June 11 event at the same site.

The WCsT was hoping to generate some excitement with its plans to return to the Val-ley – which would have marked the tour’s 402nd event in its 24-year history.

The senior tour hadn’t made a stop in the Valley since May 2012 when now-defunct Mission Hills Bowl served as the tournament host.

But a lack of entries forced Dick sanders, the WCsT’s owner and director, to cancel the event at Winnetka Bowl. “You can’t run a tour with 14, 15 people,” sanders la-mented. Interestingly, the tour has found strength in entries virtually everywhere but the Valley. Thirty-six bowlers have already signed up to compete in the WCsT’s next event – a two-day tournament July 9-10 in Laughlin, Nev.

Half of the WCsT’s 12 events this year are in Nevada where the tour regularly gets at least 30 bowlers for each tournament. The tour, open to eligible players 60 and older, has undergone numerous changes through its existence. For three straight years (1994-96), the WCsT averaged more than 100 bowlers a tournament. The tour attracted a staggering 233 players to Ventura for one tournament in 1995, sanders said.

The tournaments were two-day affairs in those years, unlike the primarily one-day events now. The tournaments attracted bowlers from Northern and southern California and Nevada those years. Now, the tour basically gets its players from the southland and Nevada. Winnetka Bowl, formerly called Canoga Park Bowl, used to be a mainstay in the WCsT lineup. It served as a WCsT tournament site 10 times between the tour’s debut year in 1993 and 2004. When Winnetka Bowl stopped drawing enough competitors, the bowling house was dropped from the WCsT schedule.

At one time, the Valley served as a cornerstone for WCsT events.The WCsT had a 13-event schedule in its rookie year with three of those sites located

in the Valley. They included Winnetka Bowl, Brunswick Matador Bowl in Northridge and now-defunct AMF Rocket Bowl in Chatsworth. All the WCsT events that year took place at bowling centers in southern California. sanders cited a number of factors that were now hindering senior tournament entries in the Valley.

Traffic was a key reason, sanders said. “Nobody wants to drive out to the san Fer-nando Valley for a one-day tournament and then come home on saturday,” he said. “Who wants to drive in san Fernando Valley traffic at 5 o’clock?” And he added: “You don’t have any more scratch leagues in the Valley. Where do you think tournament bowlers come from? It’s not the 180 [dollar entry fee].

“Whatever the situation, it’s just a tough go [in the Valley].”

ENTRIES OPEN FOR PbA FALL SWING PRE-TOURNAMENT QUALIFIER

ALLEN PARK — Entries are now being accepted for the PBA Fall swing pre-tournament qualifier which will be held Aug. 27 at Thunderbowl Lanes in Allen Park, Mich., the host center for the multi-event Fall swing. The PTQ – with a $120 entry fee – is open as an option to PBA members who live within a 50-mile radius of Thunder-bowl, giving members a chance to win a $750 paid entry at a significant savings – and to non-members.

The six-game PTQ, to be bowled on the Wolf pattern, will award 10 guaranteed entries into the Fall swing. Non-members must win entries into the Fall swing through the PTQ, otherwise they will not be eligible to enter.

The PBA Fall swing, set for sept. 4-11, will include the Wolf, Bear, Badger and Detroit Opens along with the King of the swing special event. Direct entries for PBA members only will be accepted beginning June 15. The $750 entry fee covers all five events.

The PBA also has announced entries for the PBA Fall Classic, presented by south Point Bowling Plaza in Las Vegas, will be accepted beginning July 5. The Fall Classic, set for Oct. 28-Nov. 1, includes the Xtra Frame PBA Las Vegas Open ($300 members, $350 non-members) and the five-player PBA Team Challenge ($500 per member, $600 per non-member).

Entries for the PBA World series of Bowling VIII, set for Nov. 27-Dec. 11, will be accepted beginning July 15. The entry fee is $1,000 for all events. WsOB VIII will be open to PBA members only.

PORTLAND — Bayside Bowl in Portland, Maine, cur-rent home to the PBA Maine Experience, including PBA League Elias Cup competition and the Xtra Frame PBA Maine shootout, has begun its multi-million-dollar expan-sion project that will add eight lanes to its existing facility along with a rooftop deck, mezzanine level and more.

“We’re excited to be here because we think over the next 10 to 15 years, Bayside is going to be a place where there is a lot more housing, a lot more retail, a lot more people living, working and eating,” said co-owner and state senator Justin Alfond. “I think we will be at the cen-ter of it.”

The expansion project is expected to create 30-40 sum-mer construction jobs and 15-20 new full-time jobs when the project is completed in November.

PORTLANd’S bAySIdE bOWL bREAKS GROUNd FOR EXPANSION

MONTCLAIR — Here’s some good news if you thought you missed this year’s Fab 5 state bowling tourna-ment. The event hasn’t been held; it just changed seasons.

The tournament finals will be held Dec. 4 at Bowlium Lanes in the san Bernardino County city of Montclair.

Last year the tournament finals were held May 17 at Keystone Lanes in Norwalk. Many southland bowling centers will hold mini-tournaments before the finals to de-termine which five-man teams will advance to Montclair. Last year 16 teams took part in the finals.

The Fab 5 is a handicap tournament and will feature a Team Baker format. Under this format, each of the team’s five players will bowl two frames. The team’s anchor, for instance, will bowl in frames five and 10.

Last year the Forest Donkeys team nailed down the state title after advancing out of Forest Lanes in the Or-ange County city of Lake Forest. The five members were Jessica Diso, Virgil Dunziellas, Robert Leahy, Brent Ila-gan and Jon Diso.

The Donkeys dominated from the outset. Averaging 191 entering the event, the Donkeys averaged over 200 in the preliminary round to secure the No. 1 seeding in the five-team stepladder finals.

The Donkeys then breezed to a 207-146 victory in the championship game, earning the $1,000 top prize.

The second-place team received $700 and the third-place team claimed $400.

Further details will be announced about which southern California bowling centers will hold the qualifying round and on which day.

their teammate. But, even with those scores, it came down to the last bowlers, with Hitchcock and Myers facing off for the game. Hitchcock went first, and struck. Myers got the ball left, and left a washout. If he picked it up, Hitchcock would need to strike again. Billy only managed to get three, and when sam carried his second shot (for an 8 bagger), the game was essentially over. sam struck again on the fill, for 264, and a 929-919 win, putting DV8 one game away from the championship.

The fourth game moved to the third round pattern, the long oil. Early doubles from Ramiro Garcia and Billy Myers got the Pro Approach off to a good start. On the other hand, they had five opens in the first five frames, while DV8 stayed relatively clean. Two more opens in the ninth, and another two in the tenth evened the match, again heading into the final bowlers. With Billy Myers entering the 10th on a double, the advantage was his. sam Hitchcock started with a strike. Again, Myers leaked a shot left, which doesn’t recover on the third round. For a minute, he had the 1-5, with the five falling late for a lone head pin. sam had an opportunity to double for the win, but pulled the ball badly, getting a 7 count off the left side. Myers converted the spare and got 9 on the fill to win the game, setting up a fifth and deciding round, 690-680.

As mentioned earlier, the Professional Approach got to choose the pattern for game #5, and had opted for the round one shot, bowling on the house pattern again. This game was all DV8 for the beginning. Jeff Carr started with the front eight. Dave Kovach had four of the first five. Ashkan Tahvildaran did as well. With the lead growing every frame, DV8 just got looser and put more and more pressure on the Professional Approach team, which just made things worse. A match that had been so close throughout ended with a dull thud, as DV8 won by 168 pins to seal the match and the championship.

Congratulations to Jeff Carr, scott Poddig, Ashkan Tahvildaran, Dave Kovach and sam Hitchcock. They are our newest champions, and had an amazing season. All five are first time winners of the league, and we’ll look forward to seeing them all back in the future on any team they’re on.

Also congratulations to the Professional Approach team. Billy Myers Jr., sonny Dew, Ramiro Garcia and Art Jones Jr. had a great season, leading the league throughout, and coming up only one game short. still, $10000 for second place isn’t too bad.

We’ve come to terms on our entering average rules for our 31st season, which will start in september. Keep your eye out for our ad as the season gets closer. And, in clos-ing, I’d like to give very special thanks to all of the bowlers that help make this league so great, and all of the sponsors that add the money into our prize fund to help bring out the best players and competition. Have a great summer!

MURRIETA — I was down south the other day and ran into Jacob Camacho. Jacob has been home for a few months and bowling in Cal Oaks’ 640 scratch Trio League. League secretary sCOTT FILIPI tells me Jacob has the potential to be one of the best bowlers in the area because of his smooth consistent game and his maturity. Time will tell.

Jacob is a great example of the type of young person bowling today. He and many of his contemporaries today are college bound, college educated and college trained bowlers. These youngsters are intelligent, poised and pre-paring for a career beyond bowling. I personally know of two young bowlers who plan to become doctors and several who are pursuing engineering degrees.

Jacob Camacho is one of those studying to become an engineer. This fall he plans to study at Grand Canyon Uni-versity in Glendale, Arizona. It will be his junior year on a path to a Biomedical Engineering Degree.

Camacho’s first two college years were spent at Indiana Tech in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He enjoyed his time there and bowled on the Tech bowling team for one season.

He led Tech in average the year he competed with a 191.6 per game pace for 49 games in eleven events. One of Jacob’s teammates at Tech was Kyle Koss of Las Vegas. Koss was rated the twenty-third top college player in the nation this season.

Jacob’s parents, Gerardo and Cecilia Camacho, have a lot to be proud of. Jacob is a great bowler and an even bet-ter person. He is mature beyond his years and a fun guy to be around if you enjoy dry humor. Thanks to the BOWL-ING NEWs for supporting California youth bowlers.

JACOb CAMACHO is Heading to Grand Canyon University

BurBANK — By the time this goes to print, I will have returned from the CuSBC Convention. Otherwise known as the State Convention. One of the proposals on the agenda is to raise the state portion of our sanction dues by $1.00. This is truly needed by the CuSBC. Before you fly off the handle about dues, let me explain this.

Currently in our local Association (NLAC), we pay $19 per year. Of that $19, National (uSBC) takes $10, State (CuSBC) takes $1 and Local (NLAC) gets $8. While State plays a smaller role in our bowling lives daily, it does play a part and you can see how the balance is a bit out of whack.

I would also like to remind all of you in the NLAC that our Association has the lowest priced sanction fees around. All surrounding counties and their associations are higher, some by a little, some by a lot.

This proposal was on the agenda last year and was de-feated. I am anxious to see what the outcome will be this year and I will definitely report back to you all.
