    LAS VEGAS - Kamron Doyle of 

    Brentwood, Tennessee, became

    the youngest United States

    Bowling Congress Team USA

    Trials champion in history, while

    Shannon Pluhowsky of Dayton,

    Ohio, won the women's crown for 

    a record fifth time.

    Doyle, who is 16, defeated

    Marshall Kent of Yakima,

    Washington, 234-206 to claim the

    men's title, while Pluhowsky

    defeated two-time champion

    Danielle McEwan of Stony Point,

     New York, 246-222, at The

    Orleans Bowling Center.

    In addition to earning the titles,

    Doyle and Pluhowsky will now

    represent Team USA at the 51st

    QubicaAMF World Cup.

    Doyle built a 31-pin lead mid-

    way through the championship

    match and never looked back in

    defeating Kent, who held the pre-

    vious record as youngest champi-

    on at 19 in 2012.

    "It's pretty cool to be 16 andcome out on top against the pro-

    fessional bowlers and other great

     players in this field," said Doyle, a

    four-time member of Junior Team

    USA. "It's going to be a hard

    record to break, I think."

    Down by 21 pins early in the

    women's title match, Pluhowsky

    rallied with eight consecutive

    strikes to close out the victory.

    "I'm very excited because it's a

     big year ahead for Team USA with

    the World Championships in

    December, and I just wanted to be

    a part of it again," said Pluhowsky,

    who won the Team USA Trials in

    2001, 2003, 2004 and 2011. "Last

    year, I led and lost in the final, and

    this year I just wanted to come in

    and make good shots."

    In the semifinals, Doyle defeat-

    ed AJ Chapman of Wichita,

    Kansas, 236-189, while

    Pluhowsky took down Liz

    Johnson of Cheektowaga, New

    York, 234-214.

    All of the players who advanced

    to the stepladder finals earned

    automatic spots on Team USA in

    2015 by surviving a grueling five-

    day, 30-game format that awarded points based on the position in

    which they finished each day.

    The National Selection

    Committee also announced the

    remainder of the Team USA roster,

    which was made up of two men

    and two women based solely on

    their performance at the Team

    USA Trials and five men and five

    women who met eligibility

    requirements, submitted resumes

    for consideration and also based

    on Trials performance.

    The men's selections based on

    resumes and Trials performance

    were Bill O'Neill, John Janawicz,

    Sean Rash, John Szczerbinski and

    Chris Barnes, while Devin

    Bidwell and Tommy Jones were

    selected based on their Trials per-

    formance. Joining the women's

    team as selections from resumes

    and Trials performance were

    Brittni Hamilton, Missy Parkin,

    Josie Earnest, Kelly Kulick and

    Stefanie Johnson, while Bryanna

    Caldwell and Erin McCarthy were

     picked based on Trials perform-

    ance.

    There were also four spots on

    Junior Team USA awarded withthe top two age-eligible finishers

    for the boys and girls earning

    automatic spots. The selection

    committee also added two boys

    and two girls.

    Joining Junior Team USA were

    Matthew Farber, Greg Young,

    Dallas Leong and Kenneth Ryan

    on the boys side, while Jadee

    Scott-Jones, Gazmine Mason,

    Sydney Brummett and Mary Wells

    made it on the girls side.

    Claim Team USA Trials TitlesBy Lucas Wiseman – USBC

    ARLINGTON, Texas – The Professional Bowlers Association Tour 

    telecast of the United States Bowling Congress Masters on ESPN was

    the most-watched cable sports program on Sunday, February 8, 2015,

    reaching more than 3.5 million viewers.

    The telecast, which featured two-handed Australian bowler Jason

    Belmonte winning a historic third-straight Masters title, averaged 1.17

    million viewers in the last quarter-hour of the telecast. The two-hour 

    telecast averaged a 0.60 household U.S. rating representing a 62 per-

    cent increase versus the 2014 USBC Masters telecast.

    “Viewership numbers for the PBA on ESPN have been very encour-aging,” PBA Commissioner Tom Clark said. “The USBC Masters was

    another historic, action-packed spectacular. Sports fans nationwide are

    tuning in which is great for our sponsors, players and the game. When

    more people see bowling on TV, more people go bowling, become

    interested in bowling, become inspired by the best.”

    The Masters telecast was part of a positive household U.S. ratings

    increase for the PBA on ESPN this year, up 20 percent year-over-year 

    when compared to the 2013-14 season-to-date.

    The television success comes following a partnership between PBA

    and USBC to include the USBC Masters as part of the PBA Tour sched-

    ule in 2015 and 2016. The event had previously been planned for late

    summer.

    Belmonte became the first bowler in the sport’s history to win the

    Masters three consecutive years. He won a drama-filled semifinal

    against Hall of Famer Pete Weber of St. Ann, Missouri, before defeat-

    ing AJ Johnson of Oswego, Illinois, for the title.

    The USBC Masters drew a sold-out field of 336 of the best bowlersin the world and awarded more than $250,000 in prize money.

    HACKENSACK, NJ - Bowler 

    City was the stop for the Stan

     Niemiec Youth Travelers who,

    despite the venue change, con-

    tinued to storm the pin decks,

     putt ing up huge numbers once

    again. Last session, it was

    Holiday II smashing its way to

    high net set with a seemingly

    untouchable 2627 only to have

    Holiday I surpass it Sunday witha 2691 masterpiece. In its blitz

    sweep of T-Bowl, the high-flying

    H I quartet enjoyed three triple

    deuces and a season best 242 for 

    Lilly Sigona. The other nine

    “200s” belonged to her mates,

    co-bowler of the week Nick 

    Cilento 245-279-212-736, four-

    teen-year-old Ryan McGuire,

    one of four freshmen who aver-

    aged 200+ on the afternoon, with

    213-248-257-718 and his brother 

    Alex with 203-218-247-668.

    T-Bowl, simply outclassed on

    this occasion, was led by Josh

    Spiegel who recorded 206-192.

    Bowler City I put up fine num- bers as well, firing a 2507 net,

    torrid Paramus Catholic senior 

    James Kane earned co-bowler of 

    the week honors by matching

    Cilento’s 736 with games of 244-

    235-257 in leading his team over 

    Fair Lawn. Passaic Tech junior 

    Anthony Rizzo scorched the

    maples with 218-237-221-676,

    twelve-year-old Trevor Savoye

    had his best outing, posting 193-

    177-191-561 and Janina Santoro

    added a 191 to the fray. Fair 

    Lawn freshman Tyler Nappi,

    second of the four ninth grade

    high-rollers, tallied 612 on

    games of 213-183-216, MadisonPerry had 213-187 and Katrina

    Plaszky a strong over-average

    finish.

    In another high-scoring affair,

    Montvale regained second place,

    taking five of seven points from

     North Arling ton, 2930-2869 as

    the third freshman, Pascack 

    Valley’s Henry Tipping, pounded

    the plastics with 225-195-265-

    685, also faring well for the vic-

    tors was Nick Fabiano 197-192.

    Fueling North Arlington’s strik-

    ers was Jordan Lopez 222-211-

    218-651, with 193 singles tossed

    in by Donovan Battistus and

    Vincent Amato. The fourthfreshman, Ridgefield Park’s

    Derek Lewandowski, lit up the

    leader-board for Bowler City III

    with closing gems of 258-255-

    664, rarely straying from the

    one-three pocket, as he teamed

    with Dana-Marie Laloo 188-185

    and Nick Reyes 212-225-219-

    656 to earn seven points out-

    shooting the blind score. Ditto

    results against a vacancy for 

    Bowler City II thanks to bal-

    anced above average totals

    stroked by George Held 193-

    192-199-584 and Margaux

    Lesser, a +32 middle game of 

    177.

    After splitting the first two

    games with Holiday II and

     beh ind in pin fal l, Boonton

    rebounded with a 986 to take the

    finale and snare the wood point,

    2791-2775 in a nail-biter. Pacing

    Boonton’s pin-topplers was Karl

    Kattermann 225-211-620, with

    help from Sean McGuire 204-

    190 and Peter Hancock 194.

    Holiday II was a player shy, but

    competitive with Al

    Chamberlain rolling 254-220-

    209-683, Joe Malyack 211-190-

    232-633 and Justin Milligan 195.
