Texas wheelchair bowler accomplishes rare feat 

Shawn Beam shoots first 300 

ARLINGTON— Though 

confined to a wheelchair, 

Shawn Beam took up the sport 

of bowling nearly 22 years ago, 

seeing it as a great opportunity 

to spend competitive time with 

his friends. Last week, the 

Burleson, Texas, resident’s hard 

work and dedication to the 

sport led to the accomplishment 

of a lifetime. 

Beam, 36, put together 12 

consecutive strikes for a 300 

game in his TGIF league at 

Cityview Lanes in Fort Worth 

on May 18. The American 

Wheelchair Bowling Association 

(AWBA) reports Beam is 

the first freehand wheelchair 

bowler to shoot a certified 

perfect game. The United States 

Bowling Congress, the sport’s 

national governing body, has 

certified the score as official. 

For Beam, who suffered 

from a pinched nerve in his 

spine at birth and has always 

required the use of a wheelchair, 

the perfect game was a 

realization of a dream he has 

had since he started bowling 

competitively as a teenager. 

“There are not a lot of sports 

for people in wheelchairs 

where you can feel like you 

Bowling for Beep 

Baseball charity event 

By Genie Franklin, Publisher 

Sunday, June 3, Plano Super 

Bowl is hosting the Inaugural 

Bowling for Beep Baseball 

charity event from 2pm-4pm 

and all bowlers are welcome to 

participate. 

An international sport that 

began in the United States 

in 1975, Beep baseball is an 

adaptive version of baseball for 

the blind and visually impaired. 

The softball-size ball is 

equipped with an internal beep 

so the batter can hear the ball 

being pitched and the defensive 

players can locate the ball once 

it has been hit to the outfield. 

The infield is comprised of a 

home plate, a buzzing first 

base and buzzing third base to 

help the runner locate the 48” 

tall base pad. 

Lone Star Roadrunners’ 

coach, Sam McKenzie, started 

the Dallas co-ed team three 

years ago and the team is 

comprised of adults ranging in 

age from 20 to 60. There are 

four beep baseball teams in 

Texas and 28 teams nationally. 

The Dallas/Fort Worth Lone 

Star Roadrunners Beep baseball 

team is trying to raise money 

to participate in the regional 

tournament in Wichita, KS and 

the Beep Baseball World Series 

this summer in Ames, IA. “We 

have 17 players on the team as 

well as 17 guide dogs, so travel 

expenses to the tournaments 

start to add up. We are hoping 

to raise at least $7,500 so we 

can cover some of the cost of 

travel,” said McKenzie. 

The charity event doesn’t 

have a cost to bowl, but the 

Roadrunners are asking for a 

minimal donation of $50 per 

person. Any amount greater 

than $50 will go directly to 

help with the travel expenses. 

Local businesses or corporate 

sponsors are welcome as well. 

Any business that sponsors 

a lane for $500 will receive 

a team hat and will have the 

opportunity to hang their 

company’s banner. If a business 

sponsors a lane for $1,250 

they will receive a team signed

Random Thoughts 

It’s been a very busy week 

for Shawn Beam of Burleson, 

TX. 

On Friday he was interviewed 

by Fox 4 News, which 

was his sixth interview of the 

week. If you are wondering 

why he’s getting so much 

attention, then you must have 

been living under a rock, or in 

a foreign country for the last 

two weeks. 

Beam, 36, bowled the 

first freehand wheelchair 

sanctioned 300 game, ever. I 

have to admit I’m surprised it’s 

never been done before, but 

very happy that it was done by 

our local star Shawn. He shot 

the milestone game in the TGIF 

league at Cityview Lanes on 

May 18th. 

Since that moment it has 

been a whirlwind of activity 

and attention for him. He did 

a video interview with USBC, 

that’s up on their website at 

BOWL.com. It shows a few 

shots of Shawn throwing the 

big draw for me,” said Beam, 

a mailroom supervisor for 

American Airlines who maintains 

a 190 league average. 

“I’ve never let my chair keep 

me from doing what I want to 

do. Wheelchair basketball guys 

will never be in the NBA, but 

you can compete with anyone 

in bowling.” 

The AWBA has been working 

to raise awareness of its 

organization and hopes Beam’s 

accomplishment will spread 

the word about wheelchair 

bowling. 

“For the AWBA, it brings to 

its members a sense of pride in 

what we do and how 

we do it,” AWBA Chairperson 

Joe Fox Sr. said. 

“It has already opened the 

eyes of many to the sport of 

wheelchair bowling. We will 

continue to teach those in 

chairs the sport of wheelchair 

bowling, continue to build our 

organization around ability not 

disability, and continue to work 

with those that govern the 

sport at USBC to plant seeds

ball so you can see for yourself 

just how good he is. As for 

doing the interview, he loved 

it, “It was something else. I had 

watched the one they did with 

Al Uttecht on-line but I never 

thought I would be in that position, 

it was surreal. I had never

We had a good time in 

Houston for the TCBA Playoff 

tournament, and although we 

didn’t pull off the re-peat for a 

win this year, we were pretty 

satisfied to make the finals 

and end up in a tie for 2nd 

place. I’m not gonna lie, we 

were definitely hoping for just 

one more pin, but a tie is way 

better than 3rd place. The full 

results will be in next week, 

so I won’t get into much more 

detail on the results. 

It’s a pretty stressful 

weekend to make it through 17 

games without someone getting 

upset. We have seven ladies 

on our roster, and bowlers can 

switch out every game. It’s a 

tough decision to try to figure 

out who should bowl each 

game, especially when everyone 

is capable of putting up 

some good scores. Do you go 

with the highest averages and 

try to overcome the handicap 

with strikes, or do you put in 

some lower averages so your 

team gets a little handicap to 

even it out? 

We had the National TCBA 

Bowler of the Year and highest 

average, Mrs. Genie Franklin, 

on our team and she took her 

turn on the bench just like every 

other bowler on the team. 

There were a couple of teams 

I know who had a bowler or

bowlers walk out on their 

teams because they didn’t like 

a decision. Luckily my team 

helped me make the difficult 

decisions and realized there 

is no I in TEAM, you have to 

do what you think is best to 

get the team into a position to 

win. Do I regret some? Maybe 

a little since it came down to 

a pin for 2nd, but I don’t think 

there was anything more we 

could have done to get back 

on top. We will try again next 

year! 

After bowling all last 

weekend, I was glad Monday 

was just the league payoff and I 

didn’t have to put my hand into 

a bowling ball. It was also announced 

at the league meeting 

that after 26 years of being the 

secretary of the Classic High 

Pot League which she started, 

Arrelene Lorenzo has decided 

it is time to resign her position. 

She and Jack will continue to 

secretary the Thursday night 

league at Westcreek for as 

long as they can, but decided 

it was time to give one up. 

I’m honored that Arrelene and 

the league have entrusted me 

with the league and position of 

secretary for next fall. I know 

it will be a lot of work to fill 

her shoes and keep the league 

going strong, but I’m looking 

forward to the challenge.

Then Wednesday, while 

I was playing softball, I got 

tangled up with another 

fielder running backwards for a 

pop-up fly. I know, since little 

league we’ve been taught to 

“call the ball” for a reason, but 

I didn’t think anyone else was 

even close to me. Needless to 

say, I hit the ground, and hard! 

I landed flat on my back and 

the back of my head without 

catching myself or breaking 

my fall with my hands or 

anything. When I opened my 

eyes I saw the birds flying 

around my head like they do in 

the cartoons. All of my limbs 

were numb and tingling. I 

was dizzy, but after a couple 

of minutes everything seemed 

to be fine. The next morning, 

I woke up and could barely 

move my neck. I must have 

gotten some whiplash. Now, 

four days later it still hurts just 

to hold my head up. When am 

I going to learn? I am getting to 

old for softball! 

It was a long week for me, 

so I didn’t make any plans for 

the weekend. I hope everyone 

had a great Memorial Day 

weekend, and took the time 

to be thankful for all of those 

who serve or have lost their 

lives fighting for our country. 

The holiday weekend is always 

a good time to get together 

with family and friends and 

cookout or go to the lake and 

get ready for the summer. 

Seems like every year there are 

accidents or drownings at the 

lake on the holidays, so hopefully 

everyone was safe. Kids 

are getting out of school, fall 

leagues are over and its time 

to relax and enjoy the weather 

before it gets too hot. 

This is the last week we 

will be collecting donations for

throughout our great country 

about our sport.” 

At age 15 when Beam began 

bowling, it wasn’t something 

he really wanted to do, but 

after his family, which had 

always been involved in the 

sport, insisted, he gave it a try. 

The first season he bowled, 

Beam averaged just 69 but said 

the sport “got into his blood” 

and he never looked back. 

Over the past few years, 

Beam has become more serious 

about his abilities as a wheelchair 

bowler. He joined the 

AWBA and began competing in 

the organization’s tournaments. 

He will compete in the AWBA 

National Championships next 

month in Milwaukee. 

But the most important 

thing Beam wants people to 

take from his accomplishment 

is that bowling is a sport for 

anyone confined to a wheelchair, 

not just those who want 

to be the best. 

“The best thing about 

wheelchair bowling is you have 

that sense of camaraderie you 

have in sports,” Beam said. 

“You don’t have to be good, because 

anyone can bowl and it’s 

fun for anyone no matter what 

your average is. But people 

can’t get discouraged because 

I’m a testament to how you can 

start with a low average and 

make it to the top with hard 

work and perseverance.” 

Even with all the hard work 

Beam has put into the sport, he 

never imagined he would be 

celebrating a perfect game. 

“Bowling a 300 game was 

something I never thought was 

possible, and I can’t explain 

what it feels like,” Beam said. 

“I threw the last ball and I 

knew I had hit my mark and 

everything was right. When it 

struck, I was overwhelmed. If I 

could have fallen to my knees, 

I would have.” 

The American Wheelchair 

Bowling Association, which 

certifies its competition with 

the United States Bowling 

Congress, has more than 500 

members and conducts an 

average of 10 tournaments each 

year. For more information on

Houston Hobby Hilton May 18 

and 19 for the Texas Bowling 

Roundup and TSUSBC Annual 

Meeting. 

Outfitted in a variety of costumes 

one might expect to find 

in a circus carnival for the Delegate’s 

party on Friday night, 

Texas State USBC (TSUSBC) 

Board members dressed as 

clowns of all varieties, with 

one very pompous (and self 

proclaimed handsome) fortuneteller, 

known as ZaTenPin on 

hand to host games of skill and 

entertain delegates from across 

the state. 

Texas bowlers again demonstrated 

their support for our 

charities offering donations to 

the BVL (Veterans) by guessing 

the number of marbles in the 

jar. Suzie Wolleck of Killeen 

was right on with her pick of 

522. She won 50% of the pot 

for $158. Pink cotton candy 

was offered for donations 

to Bowl for the Cure raising 

$100. A vintage Shrine Circus 

poster benefitting High School 

Bowling was auctioned for $60 

with an additional $72 ($132 

total) raised for selling pictures 

with a bowling pin cutout, and, 

TSUSBC 3rd VP Larry Stroud 

auctioned his rubber chicken 

with proceeds of $200 being 

donated to the Juvenile Diabetes 

Research Fund. In addition, 

the TSUSBC Board collected

Saturday’s Annual meeting. 

Thank you everyone. Texas’ 

bowlers are the best! 

It was an emotional weekend 

for everyone, including 

outgoing TSUSBC President Sue 

Hunter. Since the merger six 

years ago, Sue is the first and 

only President of the association 

to serve. Delegates and 

Board members were treated to 

a surprise luncheon Saturday 

afternoon to celebrate her years 

of service, not only to TSUSBC, 

but for the TWBA as well. First 

VP Tommy Miller (President 

elect) and longtime friend 

Sylvia Broyles (former TWBA 

Secretary and WIBC President) 

paid tributes. The Board is 

honoring Sue by purchasing 

a brick in her name at the 

entrance to the International 

Bowling Museum and Hall of 

Fame in Arlington. 

The Board also announced 

bricks may be purchased in 

tribute for any outgoing adult 

officer or director based on 

Board approval. With that in 

mind, brick purchases were 

authorized for Mary Antell- El 

Paso (deceased), as well as for 

Jimmy and Sharon Cline- Austin 

(retired).

tatives Sharon Moen and Mike 

Donahue gave a presentation 

concerning USBC’s Mission 

to “Create Lifetime Bowlers”. 

Programs covered included the 

Welcome2Bowling initiative 

focusing primarily on new 

members by offering a chance 

to purchase a performance 

bowling ball at a reduced price 

and, the opportunity to take a 

½-hour bowling lesson. These 

benefits are geared at reducing 

the number of new bowlers 

that quit after their first year 

due to not showing significant 

improvement. Also covered was 

a preview of membership options 

and awards. A “Top Ten” 

list of things for associations to 

remember found “HAVE FUN!” 

in the number one position. 

In legislation, delegates 

approved a proposal to amend 

the TSUSBC bylaws concerning 

delegate representation based 

on membership numbers for 

local associations. Previously, 

non-merged associations were 

allowed just a single delegate 

regardless of size, whereas 

now, all associations will be 

treated equally regardless of 

merged/ non-merged status. 

Under the adopted amendment, 

all associations will 

receive two delegates for 1 

-1,000 adult members and one 

delegate per 1,000 members 

thereafter. Youth delegates will 

be calculated in the same manner. 

For example, an association 

with 2,001 members will 

receive four delegates, 3,001 

will get five, etc. Membership 

numbers are based on the 

ending count as of July 31 prior 

to the annual meeting. 

Recognized for annual 

awards were Female Service 

Award: Doris Chesser- Houston, 

Male Bowler of the Year: 

Chris Castro- Dallas and 

Female Bowler of the Year: 

Jamie Mitchell- Houston. Male 

Service Award Winner James

Mooresville Classic. But his 

Senior U.S. Open victory, where 

he defeated Walter Ray Williams 

Jr. in the championship 

match, 246-189, was really the 

starting point of what became 

a dream year. He went on to 

win two more tournaments and 

had only one tournament all 

season where he finished lower 

than fourth place, finishing 

13th in Decatur, Ill. 

This season, Mohr is getting 

off to a more modest start with 

finishes of fifth, 21st, 13th and 

second, but he’s confident the 

Senior U.S. Open can create the 

needed spark for another run at 

Senior Player of the Year honors. 

“Heading into the U.S. 

Open, the race is pretty wide 

open,” said Mohr, who was also 

the 2009 Senior Player of the 

Year. “We’ve had four different 

winners in four tournaments 

and it’s as competitive as ever 

with a lot of excellent players 

becoming eligible for the Senior 

Tour this season, so a win in 

the U.S. Open can put me right 

back in contention.” 

Mohr is especially looking 

forward to the U.S. Open 

because he likes to bowl at Suncoast. 

Prior to his win in 2011, 

he finished second to Mark 

Williams in the 2010 Senior U.S. 

Open at the same center. 

“I’m one of those players 

who likes a longer format. I 

think it favors me and I’ve kept 

a winning attitude. I feel as well 

prepared if not better than last 

year,” said Mohr. “Bowling 50 

games over the course of the 

tournament is a lot and with a 

format where pins carry over 

after each round, there’s always 

that little extra pressure to not 

give pins away. It’s going to be 

a more challenging condition 

than we usually face, so making 

your spares is always especially 

important. Giving just 10 pins 

away can be critical.” 

As the season approaches 

the halfway mark, the players 

who have won in the first 

four events this season are 

Senior Tour “rookie” Lennie 

Boresch Jr.; Walter Ray Williams 

Jr.; rookie Bob Learn Jr. 

and Johnny Petraglia. All four 

titles were memorable for each 

player. 

Boresch won the Senior Sun 

Bowl In the Villages in his 

Senior Tour debut the same 

week he was inducted into the 

USBC Hall of Fame. 

Williams won the Senior 

Don Carter Memorial for 

his third career Senior Tour 

title the same week his father 

passed away and after a PBA 

Tour season in which he ended 

his 26-season streak of making 

a television finals appearance. 

Learn won the Senior 

Mooresville Classic in just his 

third tournament competing on 

the Senior Tour. 

Petraglia made PBA history 

when his win in the Senior 

Dayton Classic made him the 

first player to win a PBA Tour 

or Senior Tour event in six 

different decades. That win 

was especially important for 

Petraglia because he’s likely 

to miss most of the rest, if not 

all, of rest of the season due to 

shoulder surgery. 

Like its U.S. Open counterpart 

on the PBA Tour, the

TO PONDER 

By CHUCK PEZZANO 

I’ve said it before and I’ll 

say it again. 

One of bowling’s greatest 

assets, particularly in the youth 

area is that everyone gets to 

play in a fully meaningful way. 

Talk shows devote hours to the 

subject of how to come up with 

ways to guarantee that every 

youngster gets to play. There 

are all kinds of special rules in 

most sports aimed at making 

the kids a bigger part of the 

scene. 

Lineups are extended, 

minutes are assured, mandates 

often alter general routines and 

talent, will to win and excel 

and such silly things as no 

scoring, no winning and no 

statistics are kept. 

In sports and in life there 

are winners and losers and

been filmed before so I was 

definitely nervous,” he said. 

Beam’s previous high game 

was 289 back in February, and 

high series was 696. He now 

has some new highs! 

Shawn is a 15-year veteran 

of American Airlines, where 

he is the supervisor for the 

mail and receiving rooms at 

the corporate headquarters. But 

bowling has always been his 

true passion, and something 

his family has always done as 

well. He started when he was 

15 and hasn’t stopped since. 

His brothers, Brett and Jonathon 

are both heavily involved 

in the game, and do have a 

few more 300’s than Shawn, 

but now that he has one on the 

board more will most likely 

follow. I would like to see him 

chase down Jonathon, who had 

seven 300’s this season at AMF 

Showplace Euless, alone! 

It is seldom that we have 

“first’s” in bowling anymore, 

and I often complain about 

that, which is why I’m so 

excited about this one. I’m 

wondering if it’s going to 

change Shawn’s life a little, 

and it seems like it already 

has. “Honestly I didn’t think 

it would at first but with the 

amount of attention I’ve gotten 

it has really blown up. The 

AWBA (American Wheelchair 

Bowling Association) has asked 

to do some promotional events. 

I’ve been a member for the 

last 3 years, so it’s something 

I definitely want to do,” he 

added. “They are a really important 

organization, and dear 

to my heart, so any recognition 

they get out of it is great with 

me.” You can find out more 

about AWBA by going to their 

website at www.AWBA.org. 

For Shawn, congratulations 

on bringing some TRUE excitement 

to the sport of bowling. 

win or lose there always is 

learning. 

Many sports have wisely 

invested time and money to 

develop interest in their sports, 

not to create future stars but 

to create players, coaches, 

officials and fans. 

Bowling must keep its 

accent on the many junior programs 

and school activities that 

range from pre-school through 

post college. Bowling can be 

expensive for youngsters and 

their families and they should 

not be viewed as merely a possible 

source of current income, 

but the life blood of the sport 

pumping new life forever and 

ever. 

Every organization in 

bowling must fully recognize 

the fact of bowling life that 

bowling’s plus with youth is 

that everyone gets to play, not 

in a forced way, but in a full 

participant and competitive 

status.

Leagues can have two, three 

or more on a team, and there 

is always room for one more 

on some team, and they all get 

to play and get to know how 

they do as team members and 

individuals. 

Boys learn early that girls 

can bowl well and aren’t just 

mere girls but valuable teammates 

and opponents. Boys and 

girls get to know each other 

better in various competitive as 

well as social situations. 

Parents almost dread going 

to a sporting contest when 

their children are border line 

players, good enough to play, 

but not good enough to always 

play. Parents of organized 

young league bowlers know 

their youngsters will be in action, 

no matter how well they 

shoot, and that the kids will 

be in a classified situation that 

is either competitive or will be 

by a handicap procedure that 

makes for some semblance 

of equality based on current 

ability. 

Bowling is fortunate that it 

is a sport that can handle differences 

in age, size or ability 

in one of the fairest ways of 

any sport. But bowling should 

be shouting from the rooftops

By Genie Franklin, Publisher 

Team Armstrong 1 from 

Armstrong Middle School, 

Plano, TX was recently named 

district champions of the first 

organized middle school bowling 

program in Texas. 

Armstrong 1 was 10-1 in 

district play and had a team 

average of 146. 

In conjunction with district 

play, the Texas Middle School 

Bowling City Championship 

was held Saturday, May 5th 

with all eleven district teams 

competing. Armstrong 1 led 

the field in qualifying and 

went undefeated in the first 

two rounds of match play. In 

the final match, Armstrong 1 

defeated Haggard 1 172-145, 

175-146 in the best 2 of 3 baker 

format to win the City Championship 

title. 

Armstrong 1 team members 

are Cameron Smith, Clarence 

Johnson, Reece Klapper and 

Jaxson Mueller.

Bowling program in February 

of this year. Benavides started 

the program to reach out to 

league bowlers and non-league 

bowlers to try and build interest 

in bowling at the middle 

school level, to be used as a 

stepping stone into high school 

bowling. 

The dream started last fall 

when Benavides spoke to John 

Summers about his middle 

school bowling program and 

thought he could bring the 

concept to Texas. 

Benavides approached the

Youth ages 8 to 14, 8-week program 

Meeting, Wednesday June 6th, 5:30 PM 

Weekly Team Practices 

and Competitions 

Plano middle school administrators 

to receive their approval 

and then started marketing 

the idea to parents and high 

school kids already involved 

in bowling. The Plano ISD has 

thirteen middle schools, so the 

initial goal was to have around 

30 teams. 

The program kicked off in 

February with eleven teams 

with an eleven week bowling 

schedule that ran through the 

first of May. All of the team’s 

practices and matches were 

held at Plano Super Bowl. 

“Plano Super Bowl has been 

heavily involved in Texas High 

School Bowling since 2001, so 

it was a natural fit to get the 

program started with their 

support,” said Benavides. 

When Benavides got the 

program going, he didn’t 

realize the hard work that lay 

ahead. He had a dream, but 

he didn’t have eleven coaches 

to coach the teams. Benavides 

recruited Dawn Klapper to help 

coach the teams during practice 

and during competition. 

Benavides and Klapper were 

pulling double-duty during the 

matches as they were coaching

PBA Announces 2011-12 

Regional Tour Awards 

SEATTLE — Josh Blanchard 

made it three PBA Rookie of 

the Year honors for the 2011-12 

season adding West and Northwest 

Region awards Thursday 

after being named PBA Tour 

Rookie of the Year last week. 

Blanchard’s awards were part 

of the PBA’s announcement 

of regular and senior regional 

awards for the 2011-12 season. 

Blanchard, of Gilbert, Ariz., 

had one win in each region 

while cashing and making 

match play in all five events he 

entered. 

“For me, it’s probably the 

best place to get ready for Tour 

events,” Blanchard said of 

bowling regionals. “You’re able 

to experience a variety of tough 

patterns and that experience 

helps makes it easier to get 

matched up with the conditions 

on tour. 

“As a non-member, I just 

bowled the one or two I was 

able to bowl, but as a member, 

now I’m incorporating more 

regionals into my bowling 

schedule.” 

Other West and Northwest 

honors went to 2003 USBC 

Masters champion Bryon Smith 

of Roseburg, Ore., earning his 

second consecutive Northwest 

Player of the Year honor with 

the help of two titles. In the 

SEATTLE — Applications

Chris Hibbitts II Wins PBA SW 

Region Fort Sill Bowl Viper Open 

Fort Sill, OK, (May 21, 2012) 

— Chris Hibbitts II from Fort 

Worth, Texas, defeated Nathan 

Bohr of Wichita, Kan., 198-194, 

to win his first Professional 

Bowlers Association Southwest 

Region title Sunday in the third 

annual Fort Sill Viper Open at 

Twin Oaks Bowling Center. 

Hibbitts, generally regarded 

as the best bowler without 

a championship in the PBA 

Southwest Region, claimed 

his first title in his 102nd PBA 

event. He threw four strikes 

to finish his game and then 

waited to see if Bohr could 

throw two strikes to deny him 

his victory. Bohr struck on his 

first attempt, but left a 10 pin 

on his second shot, allowing 

Hibbitts to claim the title in 

the first of the PBA Southwest 

Region’s four “animal pattern” 

championship tournaments. 

Hibbitts started his road 

to victory by eliminating Jay 

Futrell of Derby. Kan., in his 

best-of-five-game Round of 16 

match, 3-1. After eliminating 

amateur Bill Oakes of Lawton, 

Okla., in the best-of-three 

Round of 8, 2-0, Hibbitts 

defeated Joe Findling from 

Mesquite, Texas, 237-210, in the 

semifinal round. 

Hibbitts added $2,500 to his 

earnings with the victory. Bohr

the teams bowling against each 

other. 

All of the matches were best 

2 out of 3 baker games to simulate 

the high school bowling 

program. In the baker format, 

there are typically five member 

teams with each bowler bowling 

two frames. Some of the 

middle school teams had five, 

four or even three members, so 

to get the program going everyone 

compromised and used the 

members they had. If a team 

had three members, then they 

would bowl three frames each 

and so on. Benavides said,” 

Next year we will implement a 

minimum roster, but this first 

year, we wanted to make it 

happen.” 

Benavides is expecting the 

program to grow next year 

and has asked parents to help 

with recruiting and coaching. 

“Coaching all eleven teams 

this year was difficult, but 

rewarding at the same time. It 

will allow the middle school 

bowlers to get a few years 

under their belt before they get 

to compete at the high school 

level,” said Benavides. 

If you are interested in starting 

a middle school bowling 

program in your area, please

or contact Luis Benavides 

972-979-1613. 

Chris Hibbitts II 

earned $1,500 for second place. 

Clint Dacy from Fort Worth 

and Findling each earned 

$1,000 as semifinal round 

losers. 

Kevin Mitchell of Tulsa, 

Okla., who finished fifth, 

claimed a paid entry into the 

2012 World Series of Bowling 

by virtue finishing highest 

among the 16 players who paid 

the optional “animal pattern 

championship” entry fee for the 

World Series spot. The overall 

PBA animal pattern points 

champion after four events also 

will earn an entry to the World 

Series of Bowling.

Finally for 

Hibbitts!!! 

By Tony Franklin, Publisher 

Chris Hibbitts II can at last 

call himself a PBA champion. 

With his victory in the Fort 

Sill Viper Open, he stopped his 

event winless streak at 102. 

He has had five total 2nd place 

finishes to go with three 3rd 

place finishes this year alone. 

Hibbitts has been a 

dominate force in the PBA SW 

Region the last five years, he 

just hasn’t won. He was Rookie 

of the Year in 2007-08, led the 

points in each of the last three 

years and was Player of the 

Year in 2011, but had not found 

a way to break through to the 

winners circle. 

However that all changed on 

Sunday, “I really couldn’t believe 

it, the sense of accomplishment, 

the fact I found a way to win 

and not a way to lose. It was 

pretty exciting,” he said. 

The wait was over as he 

overcame the familiar demons 

in the final game against Bohr, 

“I had some early opens but I 

didn’t let it get to me. I threw 

good shots in the 7th and 

8th but left 10-pins but came 

right back to strike out, added 

Hibbitts.” 

Hibbitts mentioned that 

a talk with Clint Dacy after 

the previous regional, helped 

him get a different mindset to 

stay more positive and keep 

the negative thoughts away. It 

clearly worked. “I knew I had 

the talent, but there was one 

wire that was off, and this time 

I found a way to win, he said” 

This victory was just as 

satisfying for the rest of the 

Hibbitts family as they got to 

watch it though Live Stream 

and were ready for daddy when 

he got home. “My wife Sara and 

girls Chrissa and Anna made 

brownies for me, and had congratulation 

signs for me when I 

pulled in the driveway, it was a 

special moment, and one I will 

remember for a while.” 

Chris would like to send a 

special thanks to Del Ballard, 

Derrick Lott, Tyler Jensen and 

Brett Cooper for all of the help 

and support. 

At AMF Irving Lanes 

Chris Tidwell led the scoring 

race for the week at AMF Irving

Brunswick Bowling Centers 

to Support BVL 

Through “Bowl for Freedom” Campaign 

The Bowlers to Veterans 

Link (BVL) is proud to announce 

that Brunswick 

Bowling Centers have created 

a national program to support 

BVL and America’s veterans 

through their recently-launched 

“Bowl for Freedom” campaign. 

The effort will be conducted 

throughout the summer 

months at Brunswick Bowling 

Centers around the country. 

From May to August, 

participating Brunswick Bowling 

Centers will host one “Bowl 

for Freedom” event a month. 

During these special evenings, 

bowlers can roll a game for 

just 50 cents with all bowling 

proceeds donated to BVL. 

Brunswick has set a fundraising 

goal of $100,000. 

“We are delighted that our 

friends at Brunswick have 

stepped forward to support BVL 

in such a big way,” remarked 

BVL Board Chair Darlene 

Baker. “This is an exciting 

campaign that can help us 

make a real impact in meeting 

the needs of America’s heroes 

recuperating in hospitals 

througout the United States. 

What’s more, it provides 

bowlers with a wonderful 

opportunity to support BVL 

and save some money enjoying 

a fun night out!” 

Bowling associations, 

veterans groups, and all 

those interested in supporting 

America’s service men and 

women are encouraged to take

WEEKLY GLANCE 

(For May 19-May 25, 2012) 

Tvaska extends participation 

record at USBC Women’s 

Championships 

Mini Tvaska of St. Petersburg, 

Fla., was the talk of 

the town as she extended her 

United States Bowling Congress 

Women’s Championships 

participation record with her 

66th consecutive appearance 

May 18-19. 

The 94-year-old was 

honored with a plaque, fruit 

bouquet and other gifts and 

graciously greeted the local media 

to talk about her career on 

the lanes at the USBC Women’s 

Championships and at home. 

“Some of my favorite 

memories are from when we 

used to bowl all day in the All- 

Stars Tournament held at the 

Chicago Armory,” Tvaska said. 

“All the big names of bowling 

were there - Don Carter, 

Marion Ladewig and other 

men and women who made the 

sport such a huge draw.” 

Tvaska began her Women’s 

Championships run at the 

1947 event in Grand Rapids, 

Mich. She took ownership of 

the tournament’s participation 

record when she made her 

62nd appearance in Detroit in 

2008. Mary Covell of Chicago 

previously held the record with 

61 years. 

Two other bowlers also were 

recognized at the National 

Bowling Stadium in Reno, Nev., 

this week for their dedication 

to the tournament. 

Ann Murray of Atlanta celebrated 

50 consecutive years on

Tenn., while Williams, 87, 

began her tournament career at 

the 1960 event in Denver. 

On the lanes this year, 

Murray shot 455 in team, 416 

in doubles and 402 in singles 

for an all-events total of 1,534. 

Williams finished her 2012

Championships 

Jennifer Asplin of Oakley, 

Calif., highlighted a scoring 

frenzy at the National Bowling 

Stadium as she used the momentum 

of a 299 game during 

her team event to take the top 

spots in Scratch All-Events and 

Scratch Doubles on May 20. 

The 36-year-old right-hander, 

making her fifth tournament 

appearance, became just 

the 10th competitor in USBC 

Women’s Championships 

history to roll a 299 game, 

which helped her to a 696 

series in team. She followed 

that performance with 715 in 

singles and 710 in doubles for 

a 2,121 scratch all-events score. 

Beckie Eynon of Apalachin, 

N.Y., previously held the lead 

with 2,093. 

Asplin teamed with Xan 

Halog, also from Oakley, 

to take the Scratch Doubles 

lead with a 1,361 total. Halog 

contributed a 651 set as the 

pair passed Cynthia Palmieri 

of Meriden, Conn., and Julie 

Schaeffer of Hamden, Conn., 

who previously held the lead 

with 1,358. 

Judy Gurney of Omaha, 

Neb., saw her name atop the 

Scratch Singles standings after 

rolling games of 235, 268 and 

238 for a 741 series May 19. 

Brittany Pratt of Citrus Heights,

In the Diamond Division 

at the USBC Women’s Championships 

this week, Michele 

Morris of Harvard, Ill., made 

her way to the top of the 

singles standings with an 805 

handicap score May 18, while 

Pindemonium of Elgin, Ill., 

grabbed the team lead May 20 

with 3,368. Pratt previously 

held the Diamond Singles lead 

with 793, and KOs Pro Shop 2 

of Ankeny, Iowa, led Diamond 

Team with 3,327.

WEEKLY GLANCE 

(For May 16-22, 2012) 

Defending doubles champions 

make run at USBC Open 

Championships 

Defending Regular Doubles 

champions Brandon Tarabek of 

Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and 

Chad Reiffer of Grand Rapids, 

Mich., made a run at a second 

title May 17, but finished with 

a 1,371 total, which is tied for 

21st place this year in Baton 

Rouge, La. 

Tarabek had games of 198, 

248 and 247 for a 693 set, 

while Reiffer added 222, 217 

and 239 for 678. Matt McNiel of 

Prior Lake, Minn., and Charles 

Vashaw of Deephaven, Minn., 

lead with 1,489. 

“The mindset was to enjoy 

the moment,” said Tarabek, a 

27-year-old right-hander who 

bowls league at Red Circle 

Lanes in Parma, Ohio. “This is 

something that doesn’t come 

around very often, if at all, so I 

wanted to enjoy it with my best 

friend. I talked to some people 

who have eagles, and they 

said to just enjoy it and do the 

best we could because it was 

our moment to appreciate the 

magnitude of what happened.” 

Reiffer, a 25-year-old righthander, 

added 687 in singles 

and 613 in team for a 1,978 

all-events total, and Tarabek 

had 656 in singles and 584 in 

team for 1,933. 

Team champions compete at 

Baton Rouge River Center 

After being introduced as 

the reigning Regular Team 

champions at the Baton Rouge 

River Center on May 18, USBC 

Hall of Famer Jeff Richgels and 

his Turbo 2-N-1 Grips 1 teammates 

set out for their second 

consecutive title at the USBC 

Open Championships. 

They got off to a slow start 

“The 

quickest 

and best 

way 

to reach 

people in 

bowling–”

with a 947 game, more than 

100 pins behind their target 

for the opener, but quickly 

bounced back with a 1,188 

effort. 

For the second year in a 

row, the stage was set for 

a dramatic ending, but the 

accomplished group fell short, 

finishing with 1,062 for a 3,197 

total, which is good for 14th 

place. Nicholas J’s Pro Shop 2 

of La Crosse, Wis., leads with 

3,401. 

Last year at the National 

Bowling Stadium in Reno, Nev., 

Turbo 2-N-1 Grips 1 closed with 

a 1,281 game, the highest team 

game in 109 years of Open 

Championships competition, 

and cruised to the title with a 

3,473 total. 

Mike Shady, who has posted 

an all-events score of 1,900 

or better in all 17 of his Open 

Championships appearances, 

led the way for Turbo 2-N-1 

Grips 1 this year with a 675 

series. He was followed by Gail 

Myers Jr. (655), Richgels (643), 

Marc McDowell (639) and Steve 

Richter (585). Thousands of 

bowling fans tuned in to watch 

the action live on BOWL.com, 

while hundreds more filled the 

bleachers at the River Center. 

A look ahead 

There will be three live 

stream broadcasts from the 

Baton Rouge River Center this 

week, and USBC President 

Andrew Cain will be in town 

with his K&K Bowling Services 

5 teammates to put their Team 

All-Events title on the line. 

Armstrong Printing of Naperville, 

Ill. (Dave Armstrong, 

Doug Becker, Ronnie Horton, 

Jeff Vainauskas and Rick Hara) 

will be under the TV lights 

May 23 at 9:30 p.m. Eastern. 

Hara owns a doubles title 

at the Open Championships 

(1998) and Vainauskas won the 

Open Singles title at the Storm 

Bowlers Journal Championships 

presented by USBC in 

2008, while the group has been 

on the verge of a breakout 

performance, including a fifthplace 

team finish in 2010. 

On May 24 at 6:30 p.m. 

Eastern, 2002 USBC Masters 

champion Brett Wolfe will 

hit the lanes in front of the 

cameras looking to continue 

the success he’s had on the 

championship lanes in recent 

years. 

Wolfe is the three- and fouryear 

average leader at the Open 

Championships with top-10 

all-events finishes in 2009 and 

2010 and a 300 game during 

singles in 2011. 

The final group on the live 

stream schedule is Cain and 

his teammates. They will be 

introduced as the defending 

Team All-Events champions 

before their team event May 28, 

and their doubles and singles 

will be broadcast live as they 

shoot for back-to-back titles
