Don Wright’s column, 

Wright in the Heart of Texas, 

has appeared in the Bowling 

News for the final time. 

I hate that. 

Don covered Central Texas 

for us. Nobody could have done 

it better. 

A retired service man, Don 

was always right on top of 

anything happening in his 

area. And other areas, too. 

What caught your eye about 

Don was that he had a deep, 

sincere love for the game. 

Bowling played a huge role 

in his life, and he enjoyed it 

immensely. 

But he says he has a few too 

many irons in the fire these 

days and has to cut back. 

His wife has had some 

major health problems for 

many years. 

We wish him the best of 

luck, and health. We will miss 

him and his columns very 

much. 

* * * 

Several times during the 

last few years, the word was 

that Jupiter Lanes was going 

down. But the Jupiter faithful, 

including quite a few bowlers 

who have bowled at the center 

almost 50 years kept holding 

out hope that their old bowling 

home was going to make it. 

There was always talk about a 

doctor buying it. 

The center now is closed 

and will stay closed unless 

some miracle of miracles comes 

along. 

Among those who tried at 

all times to look at the brighter 

side was my buddy, 93-year-old 

Mattie Garretson. She always 

hoped the rumors were true. 

She has bowled at the center 

since it was built. Her husband 

Whitey threw out the first ball 

at the center, and was king of 

the southpaws there for many 

years. 

Mattie took the news of 

Jupiter’s last stand rather hard. 

She had a locker at the 

center for its entire life. 

“I had paid in advance and 

I want my money back,” she 

said. 

“You aren’t serious, are you, 

Mattie?” she was asked. 

“No,” she said, “but I would 

like to have something from 

the center to remind me of all 

the fun we had over the years.” 

It would be nice if somebody 

gave her a brick or 

something. 

* * * 

Linda Chambers’ trip to 

Nationals was a disaster this 

year. She didn’t bowl very well 

and then, as she was unloading 

after the trip, she broke a foot.

James LeCroy 

This week’s high man is 

James LeCroy with a 258-278-268 

for an 804 series at Brunswick 

Zone Watauga Lanes. The Lecroy 

family is legendary in Texas, father 

James, mother Kat, daughter 

Kathleen, and son Kris were the 

second family of four to have all 

shot a 300 game. Once Kathleen 

shoots an 800 series, they will be 

the sixth family to have achieved 

that milestone as well. 

What is your high series? 834 

at Berry Bowl in 1981. I have 3 

800’s. 

How many 300’s have you 

bowled? 30. 

What ball did you throw? The 

Ebonite Magic. It has turned out 

to be a really good ball. 

Who drills your balls? James 

Askins for about 20 years. 

What is your all-time favorite 

bowling ball? The Bleeder Yellow 

Dot. 

What is your average in PBA 

Experience league? 204. 

What is your all-time high average? 

231 at Forest Park Lanes, 

back when you played the twig. 

We always threw it up the first 

and second board out there. 

How long have you been bowling? 

I started when I was 20, so 46 

years now. I was in the military, 

so we bowled on the base and 

when I got back home I started 

in a league. 

What part of the lane were you 

playing when you shot this series? 

It was on the Cheetah pattern so 

I was playing straight up three. 

Everything just kept falling. 

Who is your favorite pro 

bowler? It boils down to Norm 

Duke and Del Ballard Jr. I have 

known them both since they 

were teenagers. 

Most memorable bowling moment? 

It would be that first 300 in 

1979 at Meadowbrook. I had the 

first the nine strikes in league a 

few days earlier, left an 8-10 split 

and thought I would never shoot 

300. But then three days later I 

shot 300. 

How many leagues do you 

bowl in? I bowl in two leagues, 

and have for probably about 20 

years. 

Other thoughts on the big 

series? I bowled this in a PBA 

Experience league where they 

change the shot every two weeks. 

I find this type of league much 

more challenging and fun. This 

night I got comfortable and loose 

and bowled really well. I realized 

that I needed to strike out in the 

ninth and 10th for the 800, and it 

felt really good to get it done. 

Other thoughts? I would like 

to say how much I have always 

admired Bob McGregor and Greg 

Derrick for the faith and how 

they live it every day. I have 

always had so much respect and 

admiration for those two. 

James’s tip of the week: Good 

quality practice is the main thing, 

THE BOWLING NEWS | Thursday, July 8, 2010 | Page 3 

where you don’t worry about the 

score. That’s the main area that 

really helped my game improve 

from 190’s to the 200’s.

Padilla and Edwards put title on 

line at USBC Open Championships 

RENO, NV — A year ago, 

Brenda Edwards and Stephen 

Padilla of Mansfield, teamed up 

for the highest doubles total in 

United States Bowling Congress 

Open Championships history, 

and although they won’t repeat 

as Regular Doubles champions, 

they always will share a spot 

in the record books. 

The two were at the National 

Bowling Stadium last 

weekend to put their title on 

the line and a disappointing 

performance in team Saturday 

only motivated them more 

heading into doubles and 

singles June 27. 

When the lights came on 

for doubles, they showed they 

were ready to make a good 

showing. Edwards, a 35-yearold 

right-hander, led the way 

with games of 209, 234 and 277 

for a 720 series, while Padilla, 

a 33-year-old right-hander, 

contributed 233, 245 and 179 

for 657 and a 1,377 total. Steve 

Bohn of Norwood, MN, and 

John Kreyer Jr. of Fridley, MN, 

lead Regular Doubles this year 

with 1,514. 

“Obviously, doubles 

definitely had some extra 

significance this year,” said 

Padilla, who works for USBC as 

a coaching specialist and is an 

assistant coach for Team USA. 

“We both came into this year’s 

tournament excited about 

getting a chance to revisit a 

venue we both enjoy and also 

about getting to bowl and have 

a good time with our friends. 

We didn’t start well in team 

and have to figure out how to 

get off to a better start in the 

team event down the road. It 

was nice to bowl well again in 

doubles, though.” 

Last year in Las Vegas, 

Edwards and Padilla took home 

the doubles title with a record 

score of 1,566, and since they 

recently bought a new house 

and will be getting married 

on New Year’s Eve, their eagle 

trophies forever will be perched 

together on their mantle. 

“This last year has been 

such a roller coaster ride,” 

said Edwards, who won the 

2010 USBC Team USA Trials 

and made her seventh Open 

Championships appearance 

last weekend. “My success on 

the lanes last year, coupled 

with Stephen asking me to 

marry him, winning the Team 

USA Trials and USBC going 

through some changes, made 

for a crazy year. I have had 

to endure some stress trying 

to find a teaching position as 

well, but you really learn to 

appreciate the different things 

in life.” 

Edwards went on to finish 

the 2009 event in record fashion 

with a 300 game in singles 

on the way to a 2,132 all-events 

total, the highest by a woman 

in tournament history. Her 

erfect game was just the sixth 

by a woman on the champion- 

ship lanes. Women first were 

allowed to compete in 1994. 

This year’s finish wasn’t 

quite as strong after she 

tweaked her knee during 

singles. She finished with a 574 

series to go along with 462 in 

team for a 1,756 all-events effort. 

Padilla had 573 in singles 

and 558 in team for 1,788. 

“We didn’t want to put a 

lot of pressure on ourselves 

coming into this year,” said 

Padilla, who made his sixth 

Open Championships appearance. 

“We came in wanting to 

enjoy what was going on, but 

keep a level head, make good 

shots and have fun. We didn’t 

bowl as well as we wanted, 

but we got to celebrate the fact 

that we were successful last 

year. We are really excited for 

the chance to come back to the 

venue year after year and see 

how long our record holds up.”

PIN POINTS 

TO PONDER 

By CHUCK PEZZANO 

Idle bowling thoughts. 

…I happen to live near a 

mountain, a little one, but 

one that does have plenty of 

wildlife. So it’s no surprise 

when you see an animal here 

or there. But one morning I 

was up early and there on my 

lawn, a little lawn, pranced 

nine large wild turkeys. In less 

than 20 minutes the gathering 

had increased to 19. My bowling 

side of my brain quickly 

calculated that if I was bowling 

those 19 gobblers would have 

translated into 57 strikes. 

…The best motto ever used 

in bowling was the simple 

one of bring a friend. If every 

bowler, even now and then, 

brought along a friend to bowl, 

and maybe join or rejoin a 

league, it wouldn’t be long 

before the bowlers would need 

more centers. 

…Behind every star bowler 

is an instructor who claims 

there’s a good instructor 

behind every star bowler. Yet 

nothing is more exasperating 

than a bowler who can instruct 

well, and won’t, unless it is a 

bowler who can’t teach and 

does. 

…Award programs are 

important and after a century 

of promoting various award 

programs by various groups for 

a wide variety of bowlers, care 

must be taken when awards 

are eliminated. On the outside 

most bowlers try hot to show 

emotion when they receive 

awards, but inside they’re 

bursting with pride. Have you 

ever visited any bowler’s home 

or business and not seen a 

trophy, plaque or emblem on 

display? 

…Back in 1970 Elvin Mesger 

was the leader in sanctioned 

300 games with 22. He was 

followed by George Billick with 

17, Dick Weber at 16 and Lindy 

Faragalli with 15. The only 

difference now is that those 

numbers were for a career and 

similar numbers currently 

posted are for a year. 

…The determining of a pro 

or amateur remains confusing. 

The only sure thing is that 

if you are a member of the 

Professional Bowlers Association, 

you are indeed classified 

as a pro. 

…A very palatial estate in 

New Jersey has been on sale 

for a mere $19.5 million. The 

impressive digs have practically 

everything, and if you’re 

a bowler with bucks, the 

deciding factor could be the 

two-lane bowling center on the 

property. 

…Glad to see the emphasis 

in bowling is back on the sport 

side of the game. Over the 

years, dozens of top bowling 

writers have endorsed such 

thinking. 

…Why do we call it the 

“foul” line? Why not call it the 


“fair” line. 

…It’s good to see Doug Kent 

receive recognition. He’s been 

a very underrated bowler for 

most of his long career, except 

to his opponents. 

…If you tire of hearing so 

many problems in the doings of 

athletes who command megabuck 

salaries, take pride in the

…The psychiatrist happily 

informed his bowler patient 

that he was now cured. “That’s 

some cure,” said the bowler. 

“When I first came here I 

was Walter Ray Williams Jr. 

Now I’m just another nobody 

bowler.”

SPOTLIGHT 


house, works for S&K Sales in 

Southlake. 

What is your high series? 

This is probably my high 

series. 

How many 300’s have you 

bowled? None. My high is 299, 

but it was many years ago. 

What ball did you throw? 

The Columbia Game Breaker. 

I liked the Ebonite V2 when it 

came out, and this ball is very 

similar. 

Who drills your balls? James 

Askins for about 26 years now. 

What is your all-time 

favorite bowling ball? I would 

have to say the Ebonite V2. 

What is your average in the 

Mo’s Matchpoint league? It’s 

my highest average ever, 217. I 

hadn’t bowled at Cityview in a 

few years, but everything has 

been clicking. 

How long have you been 

bowling? This is my 30th year. 

I got some lessons from Jim 

Murtishaw when I lived in 

California. He helped my with 

my arm swing. 

feature story division in The 

Bowling Magazine’s national 

writing contest. 

He continued to write tennis 

and bowling articles and stories 

for the Daytona Beach News- 

Journal until his death. His 

bowling stories have appeared 

in every national bowling 

magazine published plus many 

local bowling publications. His 

stories have appeared on www. 

Bowlingdigitial.com for more 

than a decade which resulted 

in email comments from readers 

in Europe, Israel, Canada 

Who is your favorite pro 

bowler? Earl Anthony. I followed 

him all through his 

career. Also, I have always 

been a fan of Parker Bohn, 

another lefty. 

Most memorable bowling 

moment? When I shot my 299 

at Watauga, I’m still waiting on 

a 300. I remember that I wasn’t 

bowling particularly well that 

day, but everything worked for 

that one game. 

How many leagues do you 

bowl? I bowl two in the fall and 

two in the summer. 

Other thoughts on the big 

series? Not sure why I have 

been bowling so well lately. 

I am bowling with a bunch 

of friends that I bowled with 

in the fall, we have all been 

bowling well and Cityview just 

agrees with me. 

Julie’s tip of the week: Bill 

Harris always said to stay 

down until the ball hits the 

pins. I am still trying perfect 

that tip.

Joe Lopez wins the 

Brunswick Challenge 

in Las Vegas 

By Tyson Branagan 

Staff Writer 

In his first return trip to 

Las Vegas in five years to bowl 

the megabuck tournaments 

Joe Lopez, of Rockwall, threw 

the final strike at the Orleans 

Bowling Center and was the 

last man standing in the 

Brunswick Challenge event to 

take home a $5,000 check for 

winning. 

As a special side event 

of the TAT Amateur Classic 

tournament, the Brunswick 

Challenge requires bowlers to 

use Brunswick bowling balls 

exclusively to get nine or better 

on each shot in the finals, with 

bowlers who get eight or less 

being eliminated until the final 

four bowlers are remaining. 

Once the final four bowlers 

are determined, all are guaranteed 

at least $1,000, and then 

must strike on three of five 

shots across five lanes, or be 

eliminated. 

Drawing the fourth and 

final position to bowl, Lopez 

watched fellow Metroplex

Joe Lopez 

resident Aric Acon throw the 

necessary three strikes, along 

with Debbie Ayers, while Brent 

Bowers failed to advance. 

Lopez got up and struck on 

his first attempt, then threw 

poor shots on his next two attempts, 

putting the pressure on 

himself to strike on his final 

two to advance. 

Lopez did just that, and it 

was on to a one-ball sudden 

death roll-off between the three 

bowlers. 

“I struck the first ball then 

pitched the next two out to the 

gutter,” said Lopez. “I just got 

up there on the fourth and fifth 

balls and told myself to relax 

and throw it.” 

In sudden death, Lopez and 

Ayers both struck, while Acon 

managed only to get only eight 

and therefore was eliminated. 

It was now down to Lopez 

and Ayers for the $5,000 prize, 

with the loser taking home 

$1,000 so there was plenty of 

pressure. It only took one more 

shot, as Ayers got nine and 

Lopez struck, earning himself 

the largest payday in his bowling 

career. 

“It feels good,” said Lopez 

on winning. “I was nervous 

when we got to the $1,000 

round, but managed to keep 

calm and make good shots.”

4.5 and Revolver, as well as a 

plastic ball, and an entry into 

the Challenge. 

Lopez used the new Revolver 

all the way through to 

the victory. 

“It is a very good ball,” 

said Lopez on the Revolver. “It 

works well as a heavy oil ball 

and I was impressed at how 

smooth it rolled for me, giving 

me confidence throughout,” 

Lopez added. 

Lopez also qualified for 

the main event finals on July 

2 with a 665 score to earn 

himself a shot at the $20,000 

TAT Classic first prize on July 

4th. 

He advanced two rounds 

into the finals before being 

eliminated, taking home an 

additional $700 for the tournament 

and making the long 

drive home from Las Vegas to 

Rockwall much sweeter. 

“I couldn’t afford to fly out 

there. I can now, but I am just 

going to enjoy the long drive 

home,” Lopez said.

ANNOUNCEMENT

AMF Showplace Euless 

7:00 PM 

Saturday, August 28th


I’m going to assume I am 

out here on my own with this 

opinion, but I think Lebron 

James is everything that’s 

wrong with free agency in 

sports. 

Just like most people, I enjoy 

thinking about the possibility 

of a top-tier player coming 

to my favorite team, but if this 

Lebron James debacle is the 

result, then count me out. 

Financial advisors always 

say not to put all your eggs in 

one basket, but that’s exactly 

what some NBA teams are doing 

by trying to create enough 

salary cap space to go after 

Lebron. 

James, by no fault of his 

own, seems to be holding the 

entire NBA hostage. Currently 

it looks like there are three 

or four teams fighting to get 

James, and the stakes are 

certainly high, but only one of 

these teams is going to get him. 

The teams that don’t win 

the Lebron sweepstakes are going 

to stink for years to come. 

The New Jersey Nets and 

the New York Knicks have 

been planning and tweaking 

the roster for two years now 

preparing to make a run at 

Lebron. 

The problem is that neither 

one of them will probably get 

him. What does that mean for 

these two franchises? Is it fair 

to the fans or the city to leave 

so much up to chance? 

The NBA is lucky that 

the Los Angeles Lakers and 

the Boston Celtics are so 

good right now, because any 

league is tough to keep going 

when the city of New York is 

uninterested. 

I wish we could go back to 

the days where guys stayed 

with the same team for the 

majority of their career. Karl 

Malone, Michael Jordan, Larry 

Bird, those types of players are 

faces of franchises. 

Lebron is a Cavalier and 

should stay a Cavalier. He has 

taken a poor franchise and 

single handedly built them into 

a power house. 

All I have to say is one 

thing to Lebron James, finish 

what you started and stay in 

Cleveland. 

Don’t look now, but your 

Texas Rangers are playing 

some excellent baseball and 

have found themselves with 

a three and a half game lead 

almost half way through the 

season. 

Although I am excited about 

the potential for an October 

playoff run, I’m hesitant to get 

excited because we have seen 

this scenario before. The Rangers 

have a tendency to sink in 

the second half, and with the 

problems with ownership lurking 

in the background, things 

are too shaky to start thinking 

about the playoffs. 

Still, it should be a fun 

second half of the season and 

I’m actually going to attend a 

game as soon as Pro Cuts sends 

me my free tickets for spending 

$20 or more. 

I just read an article that the 

new Cowboys Stadium is going 

to host the 2011 Women’s U.S. 

Open. 

This is a huge event for 

bowling and will be an awesome 

place to display our sport. 

I would like to see every 

bowling fan in the Metroplex 

come out and support this 

event, as Cowboys Stadium 

holds about 95,000 more people 

than what a bowling center 

will hold. 

My odds-on favorite to win 

the event is April Ellis. She 

already has experience on the 

Cowboy Stadium field after 

running the 5k event there 

with me a few months back. 

She has already seen as much 

playing time on the field as

John Kitna. Good work to the 

BPAA for stepping up and getting 

a place to hold this great 

tournament. 

It’s been a while, but with a 

few weeks off from bowling I 

can finally bring back what is 

in Daceman’s DVD player. 

For my one year anniversary, 

I went all out and rented 

(clear my throat) Valentine’s 

Day from Red Box. 

There were so many stars 

in this movie it was hard to 

believe. However, it felt like 

they spent more time filling 

cameo roles then they did 

writing the movie. 

Although I liked the format 

of the movie, which was 

several story lines that intertwined, 

the delivery was not 

so good. Just when you started 

to get into the story it would 

switch gears and take you 

down another path that wasn’t 

as interesting. 

Taylor Swift makes an 

appearance in the movie, but 

she was just as irritating in the 

movie as she is in her acceptance 

speeches in real life. 

Overall, I give the movie 

two stars, but make sure you 

have a woman with you when 

you go get it. You don’t want 

all the people standing behind 

you at Red Box thinking how 

pathetic you are for renting it 

on your own.

BWAA past president 

Dick Evans dies at age 78 

DAYTONA BEACH, FL 

— Dick Evans, past president 

and life member of the Bowling 

Writers Association of America, 

died July 4 at the age of 78. 

Evans had the distinction 

of being the first daily newspaper 

reporter inducted into 

the PBA Hall of Fame (1986) 

and the American Bowling 

Congress’ Hall of Fame (1992). 

Among his many awards, 

Evans received the Billiards’ 

and Bowling Industry Service 

award in 1986. He was also 

awarded the Bowling Proprietors’ 

Association of America 

V.A. “Chief” Wapensky award 

in 2007, which recognizes 

an individual who has made 

a major contribution to the 

advancement of the bowling 

industry. 

He was named the official 

bowling writer for the Knight- 

Ridder News Wire in the early 

1980s and in 1972 was sent to 

St. Louis to receive the bowling 

industry’s media award on 

behalf of the Knight-Ridder 

chain at the Salute Dinner. His 

weekly bowling stories were 

sent out over the Knight-Ridder 

news wire and went to 144 

daily newspapers with a daily 

circulation of over 10 million. 

At time of death, Evans 

was the leading award winner 

in the Bowling Magazine 

Writing Contest for stories that 

appeared in both The Miami 

Herald and Daytona Beach 

News-Journal. He was the top 

winner in the Professional 

Dick Evans 

Bowlers’ Association’s writing 

contest, which was discontinued 

in 2001. Evans was named 

the top tennis writer in Florida 

in 2002 and at the USA Tennis 

Florida Convention in Daytona 

Beach. 

Evans, born on September 

20, 1931, began his 60-year 

journalism career at the age 

of 12, delivering the Miami 

News. The youngest of three 

Evans brothers to write for The 

Miami Herald, at age 14 he was 

hired to take greyhound racing 

results and write headlines for 

short stories. At age 17, he officially 

joined the Miami Herald 

staff when he was hired as a 

copy-boy. At age 20, he was 

added to the Miami Herald’s 

sports department staff. 

For the Miami Herald, Evans

sports, college football, boxing,

spent 14 months serving as 

interim religious editor. 

He once organized and ran 

a Dade County High school 

baseball tournament that 

featured North Miami High’s 

Steve Carlton (a Hall of Famer) 

and Fred Norman, a future 

star with the Chicago Cubs, in 

a taut pitchers duel at Miami 

Stadium before 3,000 spectators. 

During the Baltimore 

Orioles spring training season 

in Miami he organized a 

practice session with the O’s 

for all of Dade County’s high 

school baseball prospects. 

His most successful 

promotion came when he 

teamed with Joe Tanenbaum 

of Gulfstream Race Track, 

drawing 56,000 entries from 

South Floridians to pick the 

best horse ever to run at 

Gulfstream. But his forte was 

bowling, a sport that he started 

covering for The Miami Herald 

in 1957. 

Evans retired from The 

Miami Herald Dec. 31, 1989. 

However, the native Miamian 

continued to cover the bowling 

beat for The Herald until 

he decided to end his Miami 

Herald career 20 years later. 

Two of his brothers, the late 

Luther Evans and Lee Evans, 

founder of the Tournament of 

the Americas, also wrote sports 

stories for The Miami Herald. 

Thus stories under the byline 

of an Evans brother appeared 

in The Miami Herald from 1937 

until 2009 except for two years 

during World War II (1943-44). 

Evans was hired by the Pro-
