Weber wins PBA Tournament of Champions 

Completes PBA “Triple 

Crown” for second time, 

ties Earl Anthony for most 

PBA major titles 

INDIANAPOLIS – Professional 

Bowlers Association 

Hall of Famer Pete Weber of 

St. Ann, Mo., wrote another 

chapter in bowling history 

Sunday when he defeated Australian 

two-handed star Jason 

Belmonte, 224-179, to win the 

Barbasol PBA Tournament of 

Champions at Woodland Bowl. 

The victory made Weber the 

first player to complete the PBA 

Triple Crown for a second time 

and tied bowling legend Earl 

Anthony for most major PBA 

titles with 10.

Las Vegas – Two USBC Hall 

of Famer’s battled it out as Tish 

Johnson added to her impressive 

title list with her first career 

“Senior” championship by 

defeating Robin Romeo 213-204. 

Jeanette Robinson has been 

hosting this prestigious event for 

23 years and is the 1st leg of the 

Triple Crown* that includes the 

Women’s Senior U.S. Open and 

Senior Queens. The tournament 

sponsored by Storm, with added 

money by the Women’s Bowling 

Alliance (WBA), drew 90 of 

the nation’s top 50+ women 

bowlers and included 39 super 

seniors (60+). 

The final stepladder match 

saw Johnson maintain the 

lead through the 5th frame 

before leaving back to back 

splits, 7-10 and 4-6-7-10. She 

then proceeded to roll 3 strikes 

in a row forcing Romeo to 

double in the 10th for the win. 

Romeo left a ringing 10 pin on 

the lane she had previously 

struck every shot. In previous 

stepladder matches, Sharon 

Aronson defeated Carol Teel 

216-210, Aronson defeated Pam 

Pancoast 255-225, Robin Romeo 

defeated Aronson 219-205.

Maverick Lanes, located in 

Marshall, TX is the newest center 

to join The Bowling News’ 

family of bowling centers. 

The center was originally 

built in 1985, but new owner 

Bill Holler purchased the 

place in April 2011, and says 

that the building has changed 

hands eight times in its 28-year 

history. 

Maverick Lanes is currently 

an 18-lane center, but used to 

be 24 lanes. A previous owner 

removed six of the lanes to 

build a dance hall, and now 

those extra six machines are 

used for spare parts, so 18 is 

all they will ever have.

The Bowling News 

welcomes Maverick Lanes 

Shreveport, LA but moved to 

Marshall when he bought the 

center. He started bowling 

when he was four years old, 

and even met his wife bowling, 

which is a pretty common 

theme for most of us bowlers as 

you might imagine. 

His main goals are to get 

the center looking and feeling 

like a home to his customers. 

The previous owner had spent 

some money on new fixes for 

the building like carpet, paint 

and a new roof, but Holler’s 

background is in the residential 

real estate market, where he 

was primarily involved in doing 

most of the contract work

Random Thoughts 

This week’s USBC Open 

Championship’s high-water 

mark was left by none other 

than Chris Greene of Wichita, 

KS. Greene is a buddy of mine 

and the landlord to Derek 

Hartnell, who we talked with 

two weeks ago after he led the 

Doubles event with his father. 

As luck would have it for 

Greene, he slapped little Derek 

right out of the top spot after 

shooting 1403 with partner Joe 

Keltner. Chris said his favorite 

part of the weekend was 

sending a text to his friends 

informing them that he was the 

new household leader, not to 

mention the leader of all double 

teams, so far. 

Greene, a Wichita State 

Alum, who already owns one 

USBC Eagle by way of his 

Team title in 2008, was said 

to be seen building a new 

trophy case to house all of the 

new birds he may be soon in 

possession of. See, it wasn’t just 

doubles that he got a taste of, 

his team is also in the lead for 

Team All-Events with 10065, 

just the 34th team ever to 

post a 45-game total over the 

10-dime number. Their team, 

Team Tilt, is currently in 4th 

place after shooting 3326, but 

they quickly turned their attention 

to the Team All-Events 

title after watching teammate 

Keltner take over the individual

All-Events lead with 2154. And 

they were able to post a number 

that left them in the lead by 

299 pins. Greene made a solid 

contribution to the team score 

by shooting 1953 in All-Events.

his face after WSU advances to 

the Final Four. 

some great quotes from Chris 

on his experience, and why 

they were able to bowl so good 

as a unit, but for as awesome 

as he is in other areas, he’s 

not a great interviewee. The 

bottom line is that they were 

able to break down a nice little 

hook spot from 7-9 (boards)

and after the first six frames 

had a solid hook spot and a 

bunch of hold. So all future 

teams…focus on that spot on 

the lane and get your team to 

start there, it will pay off. 

Now the interview wasn’t 

all bad though, Greene did say 

that, “coming out of that title 

in 2008, you never know if 

and when the stars will align, 

so you better enjoy each and 

every ride,” and I totally agree 

with that. The stars did align 

for them one more time, and 

they are one happy group. Ole’ 

Greene didn’t have a stellar 

2012 USBC Open, and he said 

he was on a mission to save 

face, which he clearly did. 

So now both of my Wichita 

Swiss teammates, Hartnell and 

Greene, have left Reno with 

a picture and story on Bowl. 

com, and their name at the top 

of the doubles leaderboard, so 

the pressure is squarely on my 

narrow shoulders when it’s my 

turn in June. Or as I like to 

say, on Genie’s shoulders. She’s 

now on the hook for like 780, 

so I can slide a little 692 or 

something in there and we can 

restore some Texas pride. 

During the course of the 

brutal 20-minute interview with 

Chris, he did however offer one 

interesting piece of intel; that 

he wanted to thank Gilbey’s Gin 

(house Gin at the stadium), for 

getting him lined up, but most 

importantly for loosening his 

arm-swing up. I’m in no way 

advising gin as a method to success, 

but for that orange-haired 

man from Wichita, it has a solid 

track record.

Greg Schotanus’ award- 

Jason Radloff 

This week’s high male is 

Jason Radloff with a 299-259- 

289=847 series in the Company 

league at Eastridge Lanes. 

Originally from Amarillo, 

Jason works at Eastridge Lanes 

as the Desk Manager and is a 

part-time student at West Texas 

A&M. The WTAMU men’s 

team won their bid to the USBC 

Intercollegiate Team Championships, 

so Radloff plans to go to 

Lincoln, NE to cheer them on. 

What is your high series? 847 

is my high series, I shot 810 

earlier in the year, which was 

my first 800 series. 

How many 300’s have you 

bowled? I bowled my third 300 

a week after the 847. 

Thoughts on your big night? 

I just had surgery on torn 

meniscus a few weeks prior, so 

I took a few pain killers and 

I was feeling lucky. The shot 

stayed pretty consistent, so I 

was able to play straight up ten 

the whole night. 

What ball did you throw? 

Reign of Power 

Who drills your balls? Jeff 

Campbell at Western Bowl 

What is your all-time favorite 

bowling ball? Virtual Gravity 

Nano because it’s Florida 

Gators’ school colors – orange 

and blue. (Radloff attended 

University of Florida before 

coming back home to attend 

WTAMU) 

What is your all-time high 

average? 228 last summer at 

Eastridge, my current average 

is 222. 

How long have you been 

bowling? I started bowling 

a little over two years ago, 

but didn’t start bowling after 

graduating high school. My 

uncle has been a mechanic 

at Eastridge for 15 years, so I 

came up to visit him and got 

hooked. 

Who is your favorite pro 

bowler? Big Nasty (Wes Malott) 

– I’m sticking with the WT 

thing. 

Most memorable bowling 

moment? The first 800 because 

I felt I was finally getting there. 

What lessons has the game 

winning perfecto earned highgame

The PBA Tournament of 

Champions was held this week 

in Indianapolis. The field 

consists of the 48 most recent 

PBA tour titlists, plus any 

past winners of the TOC that 

elect to bowl. This year, Brian 

Himmler had the final spot and 

was “on the bubble” to bowl if 

there was no new PBA titlist at 

the Brunswick Euro Challenge 

in Munich, Germany last week. 

Instead, Ronnie Russell wins 

for his first European Bowling 

Tour title, his first World 

Bowling Tour title and, because 

of the agreement between the 

PBA and the WTBA, his first 

career PBA international title 

giving him the 48th spot in the 

TOC. 

I’ve talked about some 

of the international events 

counting as PBA tour titles 

before, but should they? I 

looked through the roster and 

there were 14 that I could 

count that were regulars on the 

PBA tour, and six of those were 

international players. Granted, 

Russell still had to beat some 

of the best in the world to win, 

but should it be a tour title 

when a small percentage of the

Monty Allen topped the charts 

last week at Plano Super Bowl 

with booming numbers of 279- 

278-279 for an award-winning 

836 series during Texas Trio 

league action. 

Steve Amigh and Casey 

Powell finished close behind 

Allen with award-winning 800 

series. Amigh downed a 299 

solo for an 814 Sportsman series 

while Powell turned in an 807 

series in a Pepsi Classic outing. 

Pam Garcia, from the Friday 

4-Some group, took the top spot 

for the ladies with a high-flying 

233-190-267 = 690 set. 

Matt Godfrey, Larry Hoover, 

Pat Neal, Anthony Simonsen, 

Kevin Smith and Tam Wasson 

shared high game honors as 

each recorded award-winning 

12-baggers. Bill Brule followed 

with a 297 game.

entries are even PBA members? 

There was no pressure of the 

TV show, and no pressure of 

having to wait until the next 

day to bowl the three-player 

stepladder finals. It sounds 

more like a regional title to me. 

The PBA does qualify WTBA 

wins as a PBA international 

title, but they still count as 

actual tour titles as far as the 

TOC, point list, and earnings 

and other statistics go. 

Is it really fair for the 

international titles to count towards 

the PBA titles and point 

list? Look at Wes Malott for 

example. Going into this week, 

Wes is in the running for this 

year’s PBA Player of the Year. 

He is the leader in averages 

and second in points, yet he 

has only bowled the 12 regular 

PBA tour events and cashed 

7 times. Mika has bowled 

17 events because of all the 

international stuff, even though 

he also only has 7 cashes, he 

is still the money leader so far 

this season because he won 

two titles. Belmonte is second 

in averages and the competition 

points leader with one 

title and 7 cashes in 14 events

putting him third in the money 

list. Rash has bowled most of 

the international tournaments, 

so he has 16 events with 9 

chases including a win in 

Kuwait to be second in money, 

third in averages, and third 

in points. Is it really fair that 

in order to be PBA POY you 

have to leave your family and 

travel the world to bowl all the 

WTBA international events and 

not just the PBA tour events? 

Ok, enough about the international 

titles, let’s get back to 

the Tournament of Champions 

this week. There was a lot of 

talk about how high the scoring 

pace was again this week. 

Let’s remember, these are the 

best of the best, all winners, 

and all capable of winning 

again. It is no surprise that 

there were high scores and a 

lot of high rev rates are on the 

show for Easter Sunday. We 

should get to see a lot of strikes 

and plenty of pins flying 

around. We get both 2-handers 

on tour starting with Osku 

Palermaa against the number 

four seed Tommy Jones, who 

I’m glad to see back in the 

hunt. The winner will then 

face Sean Rash to determine 

who will take on number two 

seed, Jason Belmonte. 

The story to watch is the 

number one seed, “Mr. Who 

do you think you are?” PDW, 

Pete Weber. If he wins this 

year’s TOC it will be a record 

breaking tournament. Weber 

will be the only person who

The Summer of ‘93

In the summer of 1993, at

finals. As I did every week. 

It was the 1993 PBA Greater 

Harrisburg Open featuring 

newcomer Brian Davis bowling 

Walter Ray Williams Jr in the 

final match. In his first ever 

National Tournament, He not 

only made the televised finals, 

but had the opportunity to not 

only bowl a perfect game on 

television and to pocket an

I’ll never forget watching the

feeling every bit as nervous

you could hardly move, barely

similar situation. A single 

game or a single shot could 

change my direction in the 

game. Because it can. I’ve 

been very lucky to have found 

myself in those situations. One 

game to win a tournament, one 

shot to win a tournament. It’s 

become what this entire game 

is about to me. I bowl to win. 

Every time I put my shoes on, 

my plan is to become the very 

best out there or I simply don’t 

bowl. It’s a mindset I need in 

order to compete, otherwise I’m 

just going through the motions 

and that road usually leads to 

nowhere. 

My goal is to get myself 

into position first and then take 

advantage of the opportunity.

you begin to learn. You don’t 

get do-overs in this game,… 

every frame counts, every ball 

counts. One bad shot can cost 

you everything. One great shot 

can open many doors for you 

in the future. I’ve been bowling 

tournaments for 18 years 

and I remember the losses as 

well as I remember the wins. 

I remember the congratulation 

handshake as much as the

“tough break kid”. The picture 

taking and interviewing as 

well as the long drives home 

after the loss. 

The highs and lows of this 

game is what keep’s all of us 

coming back. Everyone deals 

with pressure in their own 

way. The greats of the game 

relish every moment and that 

is what makes them who they 

are. They are who I always 

wanted to be. I’m 34 years old 

now and I still haven’t achieved 

all of my goals. I continue to 

practice, I continue to work, 

and I continue to picture myself 

on that stage where I feel 

I belonged years ago. Similar 

to that stage Brian Davis found 

himself in the summer of ’93 

with the first nine strikes and 

a chance at a PBA History. 

In the 10th frame, Davis 

went strike, strike, with the 

crowd roaring loudly after 

his release. You could see his 

nerves were beginning to wear 

on him even though he was 

already a winner. His final shot 

was a little left of target and he 

left a two pin, 299-267 was the 

final score. The crowd groaned 

and then came to their feet, 

giving him a standing ovation.

The guy really deserved it. He 

had come so close to making 

history his first time out . A 

300 game in his first ever PBA 

National tournament and a 

$110,000 bonus. He fell one pin 

short of the bonus, but for what 

he provided to the fans of the 

PBA that day, he deserved our 

applause and congratulations. 

It was the first time I experienced 

the level of intensity 

bowling could bring. Up until 

that day, it was just a game.

has completed the PBA Triple 

Crown TWICE. He won his 

first TOC in 1987, and since 

that time he has won a record 

five US Open titles and the PBA 

World Championships twice, 

the other two legs in the Triple 

Crown. Weber would also tie 

Earl Anthony with a record 10 

major titles. Love him or hate 

him, the Easter bunny and 

I will be rooting for PDW to 

make history, at age 50 by the 

way!

BOWLING BUFFS… 

The Bowlin’ Buffs have been very busy the last couple of 

months, in the month of February West Texas A&M clinched 

yet another SWIBC Championship title for the men and 

women. WT’s Jimmy Ewell was named SWIBC Player of the 

Year ending the year with an average of 214. Dylan Macon 

West Texas A&M University 

BOWLING 

from Ennis TX also made the All-Conference Team with an average of 203. For the women, 

WT had 3 ladies make the All-Conference Team. Ashley and Brianne Hansen from McKinney 

TX and Jules Stockham from Wichita KS made the Team for the 2012-2013 season. 

After clinching the SWIBC Championship Titles, it was off to Sectionals in Las 

Vegas NV. ITC Sectional Tournament is the tournament that decides which teams go to 

Nationals in April at Lincoln NE. This tournament is comprised of 64 Baker games over a 

2 day period, in order to do well in this tournament a team must bowl as a team. To qualify 

for Nationals, a team must place in the top 4, the WT Women came up a little short by 

placing 6th at Sectionals missing the top 4 by 170 pins. However the WT Men came 

into Sectionals as a slight underdog coming off our poor performance at the Hoosier, and 

showed everyone what West Texas A&M bowling is all about. The men not only qualified 

for Nationals but did something they haven’t been able to do since 2003, the men are 

the 2013 West Sectional Champions! It has been a few years since the men have been 

to Nationals and I’m so happy that seniors Seth Rutledge, Jonathan Lawson, and Brian 

Burkett are able to experience the excitement of bowling in Collegiate Nationals. The men 

are working hard to gain another National Championship for West Texas A&M, so please 

keep up with us this month at Lincoln NE on Bowl.com April 18th -20th. 

I’m exciting about the new faces joining us in the fall of 2013, Drew Claus from 

McKinney TX has sign his letter of intent. Drew is a prominent lefty with lots of 

tournament experience and really looking forward to coaching another lefty. Also signing 

his letter of intent is Jake Whitson from Richardson TX. Jake will be a great addition to 

the men’s team in the fall. Mason Edmondson from Amarillo TX has committed to West 

Texas. Mason is very strong 2-handed left-hand bowler that is able to play all parts of 

the lane. I have seen Mason the last few years developed into a very dominate player and 

looking forward to him joining the team in the fall. Keith Gardner from Houston TX has 

committed to West Texas, Keith is a right-handed 2- handed bowler that just recently 

switched to two hands. It is a risky decision that has paid off with a 300 game, so Keith 

is bringing his powerful 2-handed game to WT 

in the fall of 2013. That is about it for this 

month, please keep up with us on Bowl.com 

April 18-20 at the ITC National Tournament in 

Lincoln NE.

SPOTLIGHT 


and is engaged to Josh Maxon. 

Amanda and Josh met in 

Indiana, but both moved to 

Texas when his family bought 

Bowlerama. 

What is your high series? 801 

What is your high game? I 

have had one 300 game. 

What ball did you throw? 

I threw one ball, the Mutant 

Cell. 

Who drills your balls? 

Jimmy Thompson drilled the 

Mutant Cell a few years ago. 

What is your all-time favorite 

bowling ball? Eraser by Storm, I 

had it when I was a teenager. 

What is your all-time high 

average? 218 a few years ago, 

but my average will be higher 

this year if I continue my 

scoring pace. Right now, I am 

averaging 219. 

How long have you been 

bowling? I started bowling 

when I was 3 or 4 in LaPorte, 

Indiana at Thunderbird Lanes. 

I competed in High School 

Bowling in Indiana. 

Who is your favorite pro 

bowler? Doug Kent, I met him 

at a PBA event and he is one of 

the nicest guys. 

Most memorable bowling moment? 

I was 19 years old when 

I bowled 801 in Indiana and 

my dad was there to see it. 

What lessons has the game 

taught you? To always have 

fun. If you’re not having fun, 

it’s not worth doing. The last 

few years I have really learned 

to enjoy myself while bowling. 

MAVERICK LANES 


when he was flipping houses, 

so a putting in a little elbow 

grease is no worry to him. 

Maverick Lanes currently 

has three leagues, along with 

a no-tap league on Friday. 

They have almost tripled the 

amount of teams they have 

in leagues over the last year, 

and are a member of the East 

Texas Men’s & Women’s TCBA, 

which has helped grow their 

exposure. As for youth leagues, 

that is an area of focus, and 

something that he is working 

towards growing come the fall 

season. 

Holler is also a strong 

advocate of social media to 

help grow his business. He 

has a Facebook page, but also 

understands that great customer 

service goes a long way 

towards retaining bowlers. He 

mentioned that a lot of customers 

said they heard the center 

was under new ownership so 

they have come back to give 

it a try, which is music to his 

ears! 

For the near future he 

would like to host some big 

tournaments, and get the 

competitive bowlers into his 

center. They have a Pro Shop, 

which he runs, along with a 

Snack bar, and cosmic bowling 

on Sat at 9 p.m. Make sure to 

come visit this vibrant center 

which is making its mark in 

east Texas.

Just Paying 

Attention By Mark London 

Mark@TheBowlingNews.net 

Three out of ten. Thirty 

percent. Three of a kind. Am 

I referring to the “Last Call” 

columnist luck at the tables? 

Nope, that’s her losing percentage. 

Anyway, within the span 

of seven days, three teams with 

people I know found their way 

onto the leaderboard at the 

2013 USBC Open Championships. 

I’ve been bowling these 

tournaments since spring break 

in 1982, and have seen one, 

two, but never three in the 

top ten at the same time (as 

of press time). Yes, I know it’s 

early, but I can’t remember the 

last time this happened. Here’s 

a little about each, not included 

in your press release written 

by Matt Cannizzaro or Aaron 

Smith. 

Stars and Strikes #1 from 

Channahon, Illinois includes 

the husband and wife team 

of Steve and Nikki Lunsford. 

Steve opened a pro shop in his 

basement before moving it to a 

bowling center about five years 

ago. Nikki bowled with Liz 

Johnson’s record-setting team 

at the 2010 USBC Women’s 

Championships, shooting a 

3436 set. I’ve known her just 

after her days at Illinois State 

University when she was winning 

association doubles titles 

with my first wife. Nikki won 

the Illinois High School Association 

(IHSA) 1987-88 girls 

individual gold medal in her 

junior year and silver medal in 

her senior year for Joliet West 

High School (DWTS Spoiler 

Alert: Yes, it’s the same high 

school that produced Andy 

Dick, go figure). They had the 

lead for all of 24 hours; they’re 

now in eighth, 136 pins behind 

the leaders. 

Upstream from the Des 

Plaines River, then east on 

U.S. Route 52, is Joliet Town 

and Country Lanes #1. Sound 

familiar? It should. They were 

2001 USBC team co-champions 

with Don Genalo’s KJ Excavating 

team. T&C owner George 

Kontos has hosted every type 

of bowling outing and tournament 

all the way from Big 

Brother/Big Sisters fundraisers 

to Midwest Regional and 

National Tour stops for both 

pro organizations over the 

years, (Chris Hardwick’s dad 

was runner up in the first in 

‘68, won the second in ‘69.) 

The four-foot tall USBC 

team champion’s trophy sits in 

a case just outside the bar entrance. 

If you ask George or his 

father John, I’m sure they’ll tell 

you a few Jim Stefanich stories. 

Or the one about the ‘Just 

Paying Attention’ columnist 

in the monthly local bowling 

paper, who actually shot a 300 

there one crazy day. Joliet T&C 

came up 12 pins short of the 

lead with 3346. 

As if those two teams 

weren’t enough, there’s the 

third. The current leaders, 

Breakpoint Pro Shop #2 of 

Sartell, Minnesota with 3358. 

The two team members I’ve 

known the longest were traveling 

the PBA Midwest Regional 

tour when I started back in the 

‘80s, Barry Zimmerman and 

Jeff Smith. Z-Man works for 

the North Dakota Department 

of Transportation and bowled 

the few fall and winter PBA 

stops. He won the last PBA 

Midwest Regional held between 

Christmas and New Year’s in 

Appleton, Wisconsin in 1989 

over Pete Weber. One of the 

scorekeepers said it was the 

coldest New Year’s weekend 

in northeast Wisconsin since 

when long-time Cowboy fans? 

I remember being awed by this 

guy’s story sitting in Lambeau 

Field watching the Ice Bowl in 

person while the frozen tundra 

transitioned form legendary 

to iconic. He went 150 over 

for those four games to go 

from nowhere to matchplay on 

Sunday. 

Then there is a PBA 

Midwest Regional legend, 

Jeff T. Smith of Little Falls, 

Minnesota. Nine regional titles, 

and his story of the run to the 

2003 PBA Great Lakes Classic 

television finals that still hasn’t 

gotten old a decade later. He 

didn’t bowl PBA events the 

last few years after buying his 

boss’ house-painting business, 

which keeps him busy in the 

summers. His 762 series led the 

team, and I’m sure the bracket 

window needed some extra

The anchorman of their

and I bowled 

together for my last two years

sectionals my senior year, in 

1984. Besides being the bowling 

manager, he took over the 

pro shop at Great River Bowl 

in Sartell, north of St. Cloud, 

where some guy drilled his 

very first ball for a customer 

during the Reagan administration. 

By the way, it was a

And finally, here’s my 

answer to the hot rumor that 

has been buzzing around the 

‘Plex about where I was in The 

Bowling News’ Harlem Shake 

video. Might have missed it, 

but I’m crouching behind the 

closer ball return hood. Turns 

out the camera angle blocked 

me out. Tried not to get stepped 

on by the ‘Last Call’ columnist, 

but she gave me a knee to 

the back of the head anyway, 

claiming I tried to tie her shoe 

laces together. So I’ve got that 

going for me, which is nice. 

Another urban legend officially 

debunked. 

Next week, a look back 

at how the PBA television 

contract has evolved since 

Roone Arledge needed a lead-in 

show to Wide World of Sports. 

That’s if I can get a hold of our

I recently bowled in a 

scratch tournament and had 

the opportunity to watch and 

talk with several of our youth 

bowlers. I was impressed with 

their knowledge of the sport, 

their abilities, and their sportsmanship. 

I have written many 

times about our youth bowlers, 

but I am not the only person to 

see how great our youth are. 

Recently, our Greater 

Killeen-Fort Hood USBC 

Association manager received 

an e-mail that I want to share 

with my readers. 

“I want to share something 

with everyone. As you know 

we were at Pepsi and Youth 

Leaders tournament this 

weekend. Cheryl Newman had 

mentioned she had a hard time 

getting workers from the local 

association for this tournament; 

hence she brought quite a few 

people with her. As our young 

people finished I mentioned 

this to them and they offered 

help which she refused, as it 

was late. However on Sunday 

when we were at Youth Leaders, 

Ed and his wife Amy, along 

with David Fields mentioned 

they could use help finishing 

up some leftover paperwork 

from Saturday and help with 

Sunday’s, as they had very little 

also. When the word went out 

By Don Wright 

most of our Youth Leaders and 

young people from association 

stepped up and helped. Robin 

Daugherty who had bowled the 

early morning squad stepped 

right up to the plate and verified 

scores for that squad. As 

the next squad started, Samantha 

Kriner, Hayley Brooks and 

their non- bowling friend Tiana 

Grudier, came down to the 

office to help as they were staying 

to support everyone that 

bowled that squad. The girls 

organized most of the entries 

from the day before and helped 

Ed get totals scores completely 

in his computer with averages 

verified. As the recaps came 

in they with Sendura Design 

(our exchange student), started 

verifying scores. The boys, 

James Foulkes, Jordan Garza, 

Derek Brooks, Jason Bardales 

and Heath Fletcher, came in to 

help also as soon as they finished.. 

These kids, in less than 

hour had helped Ed and Amy 

Calcote, and David Fields finish 

up both squads from Sunday, 

verify all entry averages, verify 

score totals and file them in 

order of total score. 

I cannot tell you how 

pleased and thankful they 

were for the help. David Fields 

made the comment he doesn’t 

remember the last time he had

that much help in a tournament 

office at one time. He also 

said it was so rare to see people 

he didn’t have to train on how 

to verify scores even with 

the moving of lanes between 

their six games. They were 

impressed with our Youth, and 

I for one was very proud of 

them. I know Suzie, you tell us 

all the time of the good reputation 

we have as an association, 

but I felt everyone deserved 

to see and hear about this 

because it goes to the outstanding 

parents and people on our 

board for guiding and coaching 

these Youth locally on how to 

do these tasks. 

Our kids not only knew 

how to do these tasks to help 

it go so much smoother in the 

office, they postponed the drive 

home from Houston to do so.

I was going through some 

of my old bowling photographs 

from Frankfurt, Germany and 

I had a picture of my team in 

our El CID bowling shirts. Not 

long after that I found that old 

shirt and tried it on. Let’s just 

say I was lean and mean in 

Frankfurt. 

I found several old shirts that 

I had completely forgot about. 

There was the Andy Capps shirt 

from the mixed league that 

Sweetie and I bowled in. There 

was the Skillet Lickers shirt 

we wore with Dee and Jerry 

Northrop. I still have my TCBA 

shirts and they still fit.

compete again – good, or bad.

Rash failed to strike in the 

10th, Norton only needed seven 

pins in his 10th frame and the 

California left-hander threw 

three strikes to seal the victory. 

“I knew Earl Anthony 

when I was a kid. My mother 

(women’s professional hall of 

famer Virginia Norton) bowled 

on tour at about the same time, 

so I got to know him,” Norton 

said. “To win the tournament 

named in his honor is really 

special. 

“I thought it was a lot to 

get one title in a year, let alone 

two,” Norton added. “I don’t 

even have the words. I knew 

I was throwing the ball well. 

I knew I was in a good place 

mentally. Last year I knew 

what it took to win, but this 

year, I just decided I’m out 

here because I love to bowl 

and compete, and for no other 

reason.” 

Norton was frustrated that 

he was unable to put the match 

away early, given opportunities 

by Rash, but he said he has 

new-found confidence that he 

can ultimately get the job done. 

“Every time (Rash) gave me 

an opening, I couldn’t close the 

door,” he said, “but I have a 

little more determination now 

than I’ve had in the past. Every 

time I’m on that big stage, I 

know what I need to do.”

board near the back of the 

approach and look only at the 

10th board at the arrows (the 

2nd arrow), you will feel that 

the 2nd arrow intersects your 

body on your clavicle. Yes, I 

know the line from the 2nd 

arrow doesn’t really do this. 

We’re talking here about how it 

feels, not how it really is. If you 

look at that same 10th board at 

the foul line, it will look like 

it’s a little further out toward 

your shoulder. If you look at 

the 10th board beside where 

you are standing, you’ll see it 

is either outside your shoulder 

or right in line with your 

shoulder depending on whether 

or not you are a interior lineman 

for the Cowboys. 

This is a physical phenomenon 

called vanishing point; 

that is, parallel lines appearing 

to converge. For a bowler, this 

means the farther down lane 

you look, the more toward the 

center of your body the target 

appears. So, if you imagine a 

ball path that goes through 

the arrows out to a breakpoint 

and into the pocket, you will 

commonly miss that down lane 

target to the inside. If, however, 

you imagine a shot that goes 

through the arrows, through 

the breakpoint, and continues 

on a straight line through the 

deck, you are much less likely 

to miss. 

If you have trouble playing 

a deep inside shot or any shot 

really, this could help you. 

Imagine your solid line going 

through your target area, 

through the breakpoint, and 

into the pins or the ditch or the 

next lane, whatever your angle 

may be. From the breakpoint 

to the pins is a dotted line, not 

a solid line. The lane will take 

the ball on the dotted line. You 

don’t have to do that. Your 

only job is to send the ball 

on the solid line between the 

arrows and the breakpoint. It’s 

absolutely one of the best ways 

I know to stop pulling one and 

sending the next one out into 

the weeds.

WEBER WINS TOC 


accomplished. He also owns 

a PBA Touring Players Championship 

for his other major. 

His win Sunday was his 37th, 

tying him for third place on 

the PBA all-time titles list with 

Norm Duke, behind Walter Ray 

Williams Jr. (47) and Anthony 

(43). 

“I don’t know what it is,” 

Weber said. “I get up for the 

majors, but there’s one eluding 

me and the Weber family – the 

USBC Masters. I really want 

that one, and I’m not done yet. 

I’m not slowing down. I have 

no plans to retire.” 

Weber won Sunday with 

three doubles, four spares and 

help from Belmonte, who left 

the 4-10 split three times – failing 

to convert it twice. 

“I woke up today and 

said my dream would be to 

bowl Pete and win by a pin,” 

Belmonte said. “I got half of it 

right. I bowled Pete, but I lost 

by 60. 

“Pete is the most talented 

bowler the world has ever seen, 

and may ever see,” Belmonte 

added. “To bowl him in the 

finals and see him break 

records like he has broken is 

really special. If I could achieve 

half of what he has done by the 

time my career is over, I’ll be 

ecstatic.” 

Belmonte eliminated 

defending champion Sean Rash 

of Montgomery, Ill., 229-171, in 

the semifinal match. Belmonte 

started with five strikes while 

Rash threw only one strike 

in his first six frames. When 

Belmonte left the 1-2-4-6-10 

in the eighth frame and failed 

to convert, he gave Rash a 

glimmer of hope, but Rash was 

unable to close the gap. 

In the second match, Rash 

followed a first-frame spare 

with five strikes to build a 34pin 

lead over Tommy Jones of 

Simpsonville, S.C., after Jones 

left and failed to convert the 

269-720.

mistake against Rash’s errorfree 

game. 

Jones started the stepladder 

finals with a 217-189 victory 

over Finland’s two-handed 

star, Osku Palermaa. Jones had 

a double in the second and 

third frames which gave him 

the lead and Palermaa, unable 

to double the entire game, 

couldn’t catch up.

WEEKLY GLANCE 

(For March 20-26, 2013) 

Kansas team dominates leaderboards 

at USBC Open Championships 

Joe Keltner of Wichita, Kan., turned 

in a career-best performance at the 

2013 United States Bowling Congress 

Open Championships this week, and 

he and his teammates left the National 

Bowling Stadium leading in three 

events. 

The 32-year-old right-hander put 

together sets of 736 in doubles, 735 in 

team and 683 in singles to secure the 

Regular All-Events lead with 2,154. He 

and Chris Greene grabbed the lead in 

Regular Doubles with 1,403, and their 

effort lifted Team Tilt of Lawrence, 

Kan., into the top spot in Team All- 

Events with a 10,065 total. 

Team Tilt, the 2008 Regular Team 

winner and Team All-Events runnerup, 

includes Thomas Ault Jr. (2,043), 

MARSHALL, TX – Billy Holler 

heated up the lanes last month 

at Maverick Bowling Center with 

thundering 269-258-300 = 827 

numbers in Monday Nite Trio 

league action. 

Patti Sipes rolled a nice 213- 

246-277 = 736 set in Ball & Chain 

league action to pace the ladies. 

Terry Dixon and Pat Grogan 

shared high-game honors with 

Holler as each registered awardwinning 

12-baggers. 

CLEBURNE – Tim Dempsey 

headed the honor roll for the 

month at Pin Center Bowl with a 

solid 279-248-232 = 759 Monday

Stacie Parrish, Dempsey’s

2008 Regular All-Events titlist Jay

Wilson (1,938). They are the 34th team 

in USBC Open Championships history 

to eclipse the 10,000 pinfall mark. 

“It’s pretty surreal,” Keltner said. 

“The numbers seem pretty good right 

now, but there’s a lot of bowling left to 

go, so I’m not holding out for anything. 

I just bowled the best I could, but it 

would mean a whole lot if they held 

up. It’s very humbling bowling with 

this group. They all bowl so awesome. 

We have such a good connection. We 

all bowled in college together, and it’s 

so much more fun to bowl with everybody 

and have all 10 of us together.” 

Two bowlers shoot 300 at National 

Bowling Stadium 

Kelly Bonta of Wichita, Kan., and 

Verne Heidenreiter of Sheboygan Falls, 

Wis., rolled the second and third 

perfect games of the 2013 USBC Open 

Championships on March 24 and added 

their names to an even more elite page 

in the tournament record books. 

Both bowlers already owned 300s 

on the championship lanes and became 

the 25th and 26th competitors to 

achieve the feat twice.

the Open Championships came at the

Stadium, and the 47-year-old righthander 

is one of three bowlers with 

two at the NBS. This year’s 300 was 

followed by games of 248 and 228 for a 

Regular Singles-leading 776 series. 

Heidenreiter’s first perfect game 

came in Knoxville, Tenn., in 2003, 

the tournament’s 100th anniversary. 

This time, he rattled off 25 consecutive 

strikes on the way to games of 

215, 300 and 279, nearly joining 2003 

Regular Singles champion Ron Bahr 

of Topeka, Kan., as the only bowlers 

with back-to-back 300s. Heidenreiter, a 

49-year-old right-hander, finished with 

a 794 series, the highest set in the team 

event this year. 

Thiel and Lillard compete at 2013 

USBC Open Championships 

Syl Thiel of Lake City, Minn., and 

USBC Hall of Famer Bill Lillard Sr. of 

Houston continued their marches toward 

history this week at the National 

Bowling Stadium. 

Thiel, 90, is the active participation 

leader at the USBC Open Championships 

and made his 68th tournament 

appearance March 20. He is in pursuit 

of Bill Doehrman and USBC Hall of 

Famer Joe Norris, who each competed 

in 71 Open Championships. 

Lillard, 85, is the event’s active 

pinfall leader and made his 66th 

consecutive appearance March 25. The 

eight-time eagle winner shot 485 in 

team, 478 in doubles and 456 in singles 

for a 1,419 all-events total. His 121,434 

career pinfall total is 2,336 pins shy of 

Norris, who tops the list with 123,770.
