A feel good story for all of<br />

the bowling community.<br />

By Del Ballard Jr.<br />

Sean Swanson from Springfield<br />

Mo. was lying in bed one<br />

night and felt a lump in his<br />

stomach. When he stood<br />

up, it wasn’t there.<br />

But when he laid<br />

back down he could<br />

feel it again. So he<br />

told his wife Angie,<br />

who is a nurse<br />

supervisor, and<br />

on to the doctors<br />

they went. That was<br />

March 27 2012. <strong>The</strong><br />

doctor felt the mass<br />

and then sent<br />

him to get a<br />

scan. It was<br />

confirmed,<br />

he had a<br />

mass. So the<br />

doctor thought the best course<br />

of action was to remove it<br />

immediately. So they scheduled<br />

surgery on Thursday April 5th.<br />

<strong>The</strong> mass had grown to the size<br />

of a grapefruit and two other<br />

smaller masses were found on<br />

his bowel. <strong>The</strong> mass was sent<br />

to the Mayo clinic for biopsy<br />

where two weeks later it was<br />

diagnosed as Pleomorphic<br />

Sarcoma, a rare form of cancer.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Oncologist and surgeon<br />

recommended he go to M.D.<br />

Anderson Cancer Center in<br />

Houston for a treatment plan.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y were there one day and<br />

their plan was chemotherapy<br />

with no guarantee it would<br />

work. He started chemo July 10.<br />

Now here is why I find this<br />

story so compelling. Remember<br />

the date March 27th? He<br />

continued to bowl during all<br />

this. March 31st he bowled the<br />

Missouri state tournament and<br />

won scratch singles. He was<br />

supposed to bowl in the PBA<br />

Tournament of Champions the<br />

week of April 5th but had the<br />

surgery instead. <strong>The</strong>n before he<br />

started chemo he bowled the<br />

Greater Ozarks tournament and<br />

won the team event. <strong>The</strong>n he<br />

went to Baton Rouge to bowl<br />

the USBC Open Championships,<br />

shot 300 in doubles and<br />

finished fourth along with<br />

shooting 2100 in all events! He<br />

got back July 6th and started<br />

chemo on July 10.<br />

Now I’ve been through a<br />

little bit of this myself and I<br />

know when I was dealing with<br />

my issues and treatments there<br />

wasn’t any way I could have<br />

bowled with all of this on my<br />

mind!<br />

Here’s some Q&A with Sean<br />

on how he has dealt with his<br />

cancer, and continues to fight on.<br />

Del Ballard: Sean how in<br />

the world did you deal with all<br />

of this and put it out of your<br />

mind and still compete at the<br />

level that you did?<br />

Sean Swanson: I can’t<br />

really answer how I put<br />

it out of my head or deal<br />

with the possibility of<br />

life or death during<br />

this. But I can tell<br />

you what I have<br />

around me and<br />

maybe that is the<br />

answer. Obviously<br />

it starts with my<br />

wife Angie. Who<br />

has been incredible<br />

throughout as a wife and<br />

mother since the discovery of<br />

the mass. <strong>The</strong> greatest bonus<br />

is she is a nurse supervisor for<br />

the hospital I attended. With<br />

her knowledge, there never has<br />

been a surprise with what the<br />

doctors might say. She and I<br />

have already discussed what<br />

diagnosis, treatment plan or<br />

Just Paying<br />

Attention By Mark London<br />

Mark@<strong>The</strong><strong>Bowling</strong><strong>News</strong>.net<br />

<strong>The</strong> USBC announced its<br />

Hall of Fame Class of 2013 two<br />

weeks ago, and as promised,<br />

I will now reveal my choices.<br />

Nothing too complex here. All<br />

seven listed are worthy of induction,<br />

I chose Lynda Barnes,<br />

Larry Laub, David Ozio, and<br />

Steve Cook.<br />

Along with Liz Johnson and<br />

Kelly Kulick, Barnes bridges<br />

the gap from the PWBA to<br />

present day with amazing<br />

performances in women’s<br />

events as well as showing the<br />

men a thing or two.<br />

Barnes is one of the trio of<br />

women bowlers whom history<br />

will look back as it does now<br />

on the three named Anthony,<br />

Roth, and Holman. <strong>The</strong>ir impact?<br />

Like many pop culture<br />

contemporaries, you know<br />

them by their first names.<br />

Seriously, Lynda, Liz, and Kelly<br />

could and should have been in<br />

the HoF five years ago. Those<br />

three should just list what they<br />

haven’t accomplished on the<br />

lanes. It’s a much shorter list.<br />

Larry Laub has won in the<br />

70s and 2000s on the PBA<br />

and PBA Senior (now PBA50)<br />

National Tours. Even with his<br />

unique release of quietly laying<br />

the ball onto the lane he made<br />

all the coverstocks work from<br />

rubber to resin.<br />

Steve Cook was the first<br />

successful power lefthander on<br />

tour with 15 wins, six of them<br />

against fellow lefties, with<br />

three of those against some<br />

guy named Earl Anthony. His<br />

crowning moment occurred in<br />

1981 as he joined Don Johnson<br />

as only the second bowler to<br />

take a perfect game to the<br />

tenth frame in the Tournament<br />

of Champions title match.<br />

Why David Ozio is not<br />

already enshrined is a mystery<br />

to me, but the well-practiced<br />

pro from Vidor via Beaumont<br />

amazed us all in a career year<br />

of 1991, snapping off a ToC<br />

crown enroute to PBA Player<br />

of the Year. He set the then<br />

four-game TV scoring record<br />

with a 1,050 while winning the<br />

1995 AMF Dick Weber Classic.<br />

As a senior player, he won the<br />

2004 Senior U.S. Open as well<br />

as PBA<br />

Senior Rookie of the Year.<br />

Unwritten rule or not, age<br />

45 is the final threshold for<br />

those qualified years before. To<br />

me, if one exceeds reasonable<br />

qualifications, like Liz and<br />

Kelly, put them in and let them<br />

enjoy it no matter the age.<br />

FOUNDED AND PUBLISHED BY JOE GENNARO FROM 1956-2009<br />

Former BPAA CEO Don<br />

Harris Passes away at 60<br />

Don Harris, former executive<br />

director of BPAA, passed<br />

away Sunday,<br />

December 23 from<br />

complications<br />

after suffering a<br />

stroke the previous<br />

Tuesday. He was<br />

60.<br />

Don headed the BPAA from<br />

<strong>Jan</strong>uary 1996 - September 1999<br />

after serving as head of the Na-<br />

to save it. Bob Learn had a<br />

TV 800 series in his 1996 PBA<br />

Flagship Open win games of<br />

300-280-270-279, for an 850 and<br />

1129, setting the current three<br />

and four-game TV records. CBD<br />

has the current consecutive TV<br />

strikes record, 20-in-a-row in<br />

the PBA 2009 Womens Series<br />

Showdown, breaking RobLaw’s<br />

17-bagger mark.<br />

And as promised for those of<br />

you scoring at home, this year’s<br />

target scores were Kelly Kulick<br />

with 743 and Pete Weber 626.<br />

Only Tennelle Milligan had a<br />

higher women’s score of 758 in<br />

2000.<br />

* * * *<br />

Now back to the nuts and<br />

bolts of what this column<br />

is about; media coverage.<br />

For the ESPN PBA telecasts,<br />

Lon McEachern is no doubt<br />

prepared, but seems not as<br />

familiar with the game. Not<br />

like everyone aspires to be a<br />

bowling announcer, but as one<br />

with experience, it sounds like<br />

me describing poker. But it is,<br />

however, only after three TV<br />

shows. My guess is he’s trying<br />

to refine his comments while<br />

getting more comfortable with<br />

Randy Pedersen’s style. More<br />

on that later.<br />

* * * *<br />

Even with Jack Black talking<br />

about a bowling-themed<br />

movie that is not the only one<br />

currently in production. In and<br />

around Louisville, Kentucky<br />

filming is wrapping up on a<br />

film called, “Splits.”<br />

According to the production<br />

teams’ website, VSM Entertainment,<br />

“Splits is a fun, PG-13<br />

comedy in the style of Caddyshack<br />

or Dodgeball, where<br />

a group of friends compete in<br />

the Lebowskifest Championship<br />

bowling tournament.” Pretty<br />

tall task to include topics and<br />

concepts from all three of those<br />

laughfests. No word when the<br />

film is due to hit a multiplex<br />

near you. We’ll keep you<br />

posted.<br />

Karin Ciesiolka<br />

Last month’s high female<br />

was Karin Ciesiolka with a<br />

256-288-257 for an 802 series<br />

in the Friday’s Best league at<br />

Hallmark Lanes in Killeen, TX.<br />

Karin is the Promotions Director<br />

at Hallmark Lanes. Her two<br />

daughters, Sierra and Shyanne<br />

are both fulltime bowlers along<br />

with husband John. Karin is<br />

also the bowling coach for the<br />

Ellison Eagles high school team<br />

who won the Girls the state<br />

championship in 2010.<br />

What is your high series?<br />

812, I’ve bowled five 800’s.<br />

How many 300’s have you<br />

bowled? 6<br />

Thoughts on your big night?<br />

I knew what I needed the last<br />

game to shoot 800, and I just<br />

tried to make the best shot I<br />

could to get there. My confidence<br />

level has been higher<br />

this year. I made some adjustments<br />

to my span and got a<br />

ball that reacted better down<br />

the lane, and now I feel back to<br />

where I should be.<br />

What ball did you throw?<br />

<strong>The</strong> DV8 Hell Raiser.<br />

What is your all-time favorite<br />

bowling ball? I don’t really have<br />

a favorite; it’s just whatever<br />

feels the best and rolls the best<br />

at the time.<br />

What is your all-time high<br />

average? 231 in Colorado<br />

Springs. <strong>The</strong> bowling competition<br />

in Colorado is very high,<br />

and they pushed me to compete<br />

better each week.<br />

How long have you been<br />

bowling? Probably since I<br />

was four years old. All of the<br />

credit goes to my father(Dick<br />

Atkinson) who was on the<br />

All-American Army team(with<br />

Brian Voss as a teammate), and<br />

once he got out of the military<br />

he opened his own center in<br />

1987. He built Hallmark Lanes<br />

from scratch and it’s always<br />

been a family sport. I’m very<br />

proud to have shot the first 800<br />

by a female in the house that<br />

my family owns.<br />

Who is your favorite pro<br />

bowler? Growing up Brian Voss<br />

was my favorite, but I became<br />

fascinated with Diandra<br />

Asbaty and Tish Johnson, I<br />

got to know Tish when I was<br />

in Colorado Springs. <strong>The</strong>y are<br />

both great individuals.<br />

Most memorable bowling<br />

moment? Shooting my first<br />

800. I had no idea I was on 800<br />

pace, but my friends Cassie<br />

Golden and Stephanie Laney<br />

both ran up on the approach<br />

and attacked me after my<br />

fill-shot. My whole team was<br />

keeping track, but I really<br />

wasn’t paying attention. I’m a<br />

believer in not paying attention<br />

to the score, just bowl the<br />

frame you’re in.<br />

What lessons has the game<br />

taught you? Always stay<br />

By Leisha Murr<br />

Happy New Year! I hope you<br />

all had a wonderful Christmas<br />

and will be safely ringing in<br />

the New Year with friends,<br />

family, and all the ones you<br />

love. I’ll be bringing in the<br />

New Year with one of the<br />

things I love, the blackjack<br />

table! I know, I really cannot<br />

figure out why I’m still single.<br />

This is the time of the year<br />

when we all reflect on our lives<br />

and make resolutions to change<br />

things to make ourselves better<br />

in future. Some of the most<br />

popular resolutions are to go<br />

on a diet or eat better, to get<br />

more exercise, to quit smoking<br />

or drinking, and to get more<br />

organized. Others can be less<br />

specific like spending more<br />

time with family or friends,<br />

helping others, learning<br />

something new, and enjoying<br />

life more. I could resolve to do<br />

everything on this list except<br />

that I don’t smoke, but I don’t<br />

like to make any resolutions I<br />

know I’m going to break.<br />

I know Tony would love it<br />

if I would resolve to get the<br />

Last Call done by Friday every<br />

week, but some weeks I just<br />

have too hard of a time finding<br />

a topic. I’m sure all of you have<br />

noticed some “off” weeks after<br />

reading my article and thought,<br />

“who cares?” or “why did I<br />

need to read 700 words about<br />

a Kia?” but I try to keep things<br />

as relevant and interesting as<br />

possible week to week. So my<br />

resolution for Tony is that I<br />

will try harder not to turn the<br />

Last Call into the Last Minute<br />

every week. (Editor’s Note:<br />

BEST NEWS EVER!!!)<br />

For myself, I’m going to<br />

work on losing these extra<br />

pounds I put back on in 2012.<br />

I’m not going to say I’m going<br />

on diet because that might<br />

last a week. I will resolve to<br />

pay more attention to what<br />

I am eating and to cut back<br />

on the Dr. Pepper and other<br />

empty calories I’m consuming.<br />

That, plus a little extra activity<br />

should do the trick in a month<br />

or two.<br />

We have several tournaments<br />

I’m going to bowl<br />

coming up in the first quarter<br />

of this year. So, I’m also going<br />

to try to get out and actually<br />

put in some time on the lanes<br />

practicing in the next few<br />

months so I will be sharper<br />

and more competitive. Let’s not<br />

get too specific, but I am going<br />

to try to practice at least twice<br />

a month. I know, I don’t want<br />

to make it too hard on myself<br />

to keep my resolutions.<br />

I’m also going to work on<br />

de-cluttering my life. I think<br />

this will help me as well as<br />

helping others as I have lots of<br />

clothing that no longer fit and I<br />

need to donate. I have to be the<br />

worlds worst at thinking “I’ll<br />

fit back into these one day” and<br />

keeping everything. Problem is,<br />

even if they fit, will I want to<br />

wear them again? So, if anyone<br />

knows a good women’s shelter<br />

or somewhere besides Goodwill<br />

that I should donate, please let<br />

me know.<br />

Obviously holding on to my<br />

past is not helping me move<br />

on to a great future. So, to kick<br />

this year off right I will be following<br />

most of the traditions of<br />

what to eat for good luck and<br />

good fortune in the upcoming<br />

year. <strong>The</strong>y say you should eat<br />

12 grapes at midnight, one for<br />

each month, and if the grape is<br />

sweet it will be a good month.<br />

Do you think if I take 12 sips<br />

of different wines I could ac-<br />

In all my years of sports I<br />

have never seen as much hype<br />

and discussion surrounding a<br />

player who doesn’t play more<br />

than I have with Tim Tebow.<br />

<strong>News</strong>papers write about him,<br />

television reporters critique<br />

him, and even rappers sing<br />

about him, but in the end he is<br />

still a third string quarterback<br />

who rarely sees the field so<br />

why does he get so much<br />

attention. I can only guess it is<br />

because he appears to do and<br />

be everything that most people<br />

would strive to become. We all<br />

make choices in life and most<br />

of us make many mistakes,<br />

but Tebow seems to always say<br />

the right things and act the<br />

right way so you pull for a guy<br />

like that. <strong>The</strong>n there are some<br />

who simply want to destroy<br />

the good guy image he’s built.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se people are always looking<br />

to read between the lines<br />

and turn some quote of his into<br />

a negative to try and ruin his<br />

image. I saw a headline last<br />

week about Tebow saying he<br />

is disappointed and frustrated<br />

with the season he had with<br />

the NY Jets this year, and they<br />

have somehow turned that<br />

48 th Annual<br />

into negative press for him and<br />

have begun calling him a quitter.<br />

Quite frankly the Jets are<br />

6-9 and have been eliminated<br />

from the playoffs for a couple<br />

of weeks so I would argue that<br />

anyone in that locker room<br />

who DEOSN’T describe the<br />

season as disappointing and<br />

frustrating should be cut immediately.<br />

In all I am no NFL<br />

scout, but it doesn’t appear to<br />

me that Tim Tebow is an elite<br />

NFL quarterback, but the guy<br />

has a lot of heart and is a great<br />

role model for kids so I’m sure<br />

he will be able to get a couple<br />

more years of paychecks simply<br />

based on being that. As for his<br />

next team, the Jacksonville<br />

Jaguars, at least you can put<br />

some extra butts in the seats!<br />

Being a Dallas Maverick<br />

fan was tough in the 90’s, but<br />

we have been rewarded ever<br />

since with stout teams capable<br />

of winning 50 to 60 games<br />

every year and making several<br />

deep playoff runs. However,<br />

it appears that we have come<br />

to the end of that era. Quite<br />

frankly this Dallas Maverick<br />

team is plain painful to watch.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Mavs look slow and un-<br />

athletic, maybe because Chris<br />

Kaman looks like someone<br />

held the turbo button down too<br />

long on a video game, and not<br />

much fun to watch. Last year I<br />

was okay with a mediocre team<br />

because the hope of signing<br />

some big time free agents was<br />

alluring, but since they didn’t<br />

get any of them this team<br />

looks terrible. I’m not sure<br />

what Mark Cuban is planning,<br />

but surely all these one year<br />

contracts must give the Mavs<br />

some flexibility to go after<br />

next year’s top free agents. I<br />

trust him so I am sure he will<br />

make it work. <strong>The</strong> Mavs were<br />

ready to put all their eggs in<br />

the Deron Williams basket and<br />

look how that turned out for<br />

the Brooklyn Nets. Maybe no<br />

one should be happier about<br />

not getting him than Rick<br />

Carlisle seeing as he still has a<br />

job and Avery Johnson doesn’t.<br />

Later this week you will<br />

all be in for a real treat as the<br />

premier of Aerial <strong>Bowling</strong> by<br />

Dexter will be available via<br />

You Tube. I am not exactly sure<br />

of the date, but supposedly by<br />

the end of this week it will be<br />

available. It’s pretty entertaining<br />

so make sure you go to You<br />

Tube later this week and search<br />

for Aerial <strong>Bowling</strong> by Dexter<br />

and you won’t be disappointed.<br />

Storm returns as sponsor at<br />

Open Championships<br />

ARLINGTON — For the<br />

18th consecutive year, Storm<br />

<strong>Bowling</strong> Products, Inc. will<br />

be a sponsor at the United<br />

States <strong>Bowling</strong> Congress Open<br />

<strong>The</strong> relationship began in<br />

1996 when the tournament was<br />

held in Salt Lake City, close to<br />

Storm's Brigham City, Utah,<br />

headquarters. It has grown<br />

to include a presence at the<br />

Storm Bowlers Journal Championships<br />

presented by USBC,<br />

place on the high end of<br />

the 78-lane National <strong>Bowling</strong><br />

My view on<br />

Competitive <strong>Bowling</strong><br />

By Xeno Garcia<br />

Competitive bowling. Where<br />

has it gone? It’s been a question<br />

I’ve asked myself for several<br />

months now. I started bowling<br />

competitively in a time when<br />

bowling was still considered<br />

bowling. A crowded bowling<br />

alley went quiet when someone<br />

had the first 11 hits. Scratch<br />

tournaments were alive and<br />

well. <strong>The</strong> best players from all<br />

across the country, traveling<br />

by plane or packing themselves<br />

into a tiny sedan. Tournaments<br />

in Texas paying $3000, $5000,<br />

$10,000, and even $50,000 to<br />

first place. It was a good time.<br />

Unfortunately,<br />

it was the<br />

beginning of<br />

the end.<br />

<strong>The</strong> bowlers of my generation<br />

and those following have<br />

nowhere to compete anymore.<br />

I found myself asking why.<br />

Everyone’s number one answer<br />

is the economy. Probably<br />

right, of course the economy<br />

is a factor in the decline of the<br />

bowling industry in general<br />

and its really unfortunate that<br />

our generation is seeing the<br />

worst of it. Costs are going up,<br />

payouts are staying the same<br />

across the board. Some days<br />

I wonder why I continue to<br />

compete at this level. Where<br />

is the payoff? It’s beginning<br />

to get harder and harder for<br />

me to see. I bowl to win first<br />

and foremost, but money is<br />

important! Very important.<br />

It’s impossible to live unless<br />

there is some type of financial<br />

benefit to it all.<br />

I’ve had to make every<br />

tournament a business decision.<br />

Possible payout minus the<br />

expenses. Seems easy enough<br />

on paper but there’s always<br />

more to it. As a general rule I<br />

like first place to pay 10 times<br />

my entry fee. For instance if<br />

the entry fee is $100, I would<br />

like to see first pay $1000.<br />

But there are other factors<br />

which make it appealing to me<br />

as well, the cash ratio being<br />

one of them. Most events are<br />

1:5 or 1:6 ratios. Some tournaments<br />

with qualifying squads<br />

are 1:8 or 1:10. Those that pay<br />

1:3 or 1:4 will usually pay less<br />

to first place (unless sponsors<br />

are used). I like the idea of<br />

paying more spots because<br />

it lets bowlers live to fight<br />

another day. <strong>The</strong>se things can<br />

get expensive!<br />

I always question the payout<br />

of the tournament, where are<br />

my entry fees going? I research<br />

the payout history for each<br />

tournament, event, or tournament<br />

club. Most tournaments<br />

have a history of results I can<br />

look at for quick reference. I<br />

consider lineage as being $4<br />

per game (which is a pretty<br />

high estimate but that’s the<br />

number I use). Multiply the lineage<br />

by the number of games<br />

bowled by the players; including<br />

the qualifying, semis, and<br />

finals. This total gives me a<br />

general idea of the tournament<br />

directors costs for running the<br />

event. Once I have that number,<br />

I start adding up the total<br />

payout of their last tournament.<br />

Now I should have an idea of<br />

what the tournament director<br />

is making at the event. I bowl<br />

them all regardless of format,<br />

cost, or location, as long as the<br />

numbers make sense to me.<br />

Directing a tournament is<br />

no easy task and I wouldn’t<br />

wish it upon anybody. If<br />

things don’t run perfectly,<br />

people complain, there’s always<br />

someone that isn’t happy and<br />

on occasion, a mistake is made<br />

that costs someone a lot of<br />

money. It’s not something I<br />

wish to ever do myself. For that<br />

reason, I’m extremely grateful<br />

to all the tournament directors<br />

in the southwest region; Donna<br />

Conners, Terry Taylor, Tina<br />

Taylor, Jim King, Kathy King,<br />

Paul Henderson, Charlie Natal,<br />

Duane Bates, Steven Hauk,<br />

Greg Oneal, Pete McCordic,<br />

just to name a few. Most of<br />

their work is behind the scenes<br />

and I’m sure they rarely get<br />

the Thank You’s they deserve.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y do all the hard work to<br />

get these events so we can still<br />

bowl competitively, whether<br />

it be a handicap or scratch<br />

tournament. Be sure and thank<br />

the tournament directors in<br />

your area, without them,<br />

competitive bowling would be<br />

long gone by now.<br />

New SMART point system,<br />

website interface for 2013<br />

ARLINGTON — Participants<br />

and providers in SMART,<br />

the scholarship management<br />

program for youth bowlers,<br />

will notice some changes to<br />

the program's online portal in<br />

2013. <strong>The</strong> changes are designed<br />

to strengthen the program and<br />

enhance functionality.<br />

Effective <strong>Jan</strong>uary 2013,<br />

recipients will see scholarship<br />

awards displayed in their<br />

SMART account as points<br />

rather than dollars, with one<br />

point equal to five dollars.<br />

<strong>The</strong> value of all scholarships<br />

remains the same, and the<br />

points will be converted to dollars<br />

when a recipient requests<br />

the use of funds.<br />

"Parents, students and<br />

providers can be assured<br />

their funds are safe and the<br />

reporting change to points<br />

will not affect scholarship<br />

amounts," SMART Corporation<br />

Board Chairman Wally Hall<br />

said. "This reporting change<br />

strengthens the SMART program<br />

by better aligning with<br />

standards of athletic associations<br />

across the country.<br />

"We received valuable<br />

counsel from educators and<br />

industry leaders in states such<br />

as Illinois and Michigan in<br />

making these adjustments. <strong>The</strong><br />

Angelo ends four-year<br />

PBA title slump<br />

Viper Championship Victory<br />

LAS VEGAS — Brad Angelo<br />

of Lockport, N.Y, with two<br />

strikes and an eight-count in<br />

the 10th frame, ended four<br />

years of frustration with a 233-<br />

232 victory over Finland’s Mika<br />

Koivuniemi to win the Professional<br />

Bowlers Association<br />

Viper Championship at South<br />

Point Hotel and Casino.<br />

Angelo, who won his only<br />

PBA Tour title in the 2008<br />

Viper Championship in Omaha,<br />

Neb., came into the Viper<br />

Championship finals as the<br />

top qualifier, but got help from<br />

Koivuniemi in the final frame<br />

before pulling off his clutch<br />

victory.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Viper Championship,<br />

the second of five PBA Tour<br />

events held as part of the<br />

GEICO PBA World Series of<br />

<strong>Bowling</strong> IV at South Point,<br />

aired Sunday on ESPN.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> finals are airing on my<br />

birthday, and I guarantee there<br />

will be an absolute blow-out<br />

Christmas party, slash birthday<br />

party, slash victory number<br />

two party at Brad Angelo<br />

Lanes,” the now 43-year-old<br />

Angelo said.<br />

Koivuniemi started the title<br />

match with a 4-10 split and an<br />

open frame. Angelo returned<br />

the favor in the third frame<br />

when he left a 4-6-7 split and<br />

opened. Neither bowler missed<br />

the pocket after those errors,<br />

although each left and converted<br />

a single-pin spare.<br />

<strong>The</strong> contest came down to<br />

the 10th frame where Koivuniemi,<br />

working on a string of four<br />

strikes, added a fifth on his<br />

first shot. Needing nine pins<br />

and a spare to lock up the title,<br />

Koivuniemi left the 3-6-9-10 to<br />

give Angelo a chance to win<br />

with a double and eight pins,<br />

PBA LLC Photo<br />

Brad Angelo<br />

and that’s exactly what the<br />

11-year PBA Tour veteran got.<br />

“Mika gave me a chance,<br />

but I feel for him,” Angelo said.<br />

“I’ve bowled against him for 25<br />

years and he’s about as classy<br />

as they come. He made some<br />

great shots to virtually shut me<br />

out, and the next thing I know,<br />

he got six (pins).<br />

“All you ever want is a<br />

chance. That’s what I kept<br />

saying to myself, give me a<br />

chance,” Angelo continued. “I<br />

thought I needed nine pins to<br />

win. I guess it didn’t register<br />

that he got six pins, not seven,<br />

but I didn’t look at the score.<br />

That’s the first time in my<br />

career I didn’t look to see what<br />

I really needed; I just got up<br />

and tried to make three quality<br />

shots.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> victory was redemption<br />

for four years of extreme<br />

frustration for Angelo.<br />

“My slow years were certainly<br />

not for lack of effort,” he<br />

said. “I dealt with the evolution<br />

of the sport. <strong>Bowling</strong> with so<br />

much friction on the lanes here<br />

in Las Vegas, a guy like me<br />

2012 QubicaAMF <strong>Bowling</strong> World Cup<br />

Shayna and Syafiq take titles<br />

for Singapore and Malaysia<br />

Shayna Ng of Singapore and<br />

Syafiq Rhidwan Abdul Malek<br />

of Malaysia are the QubicaAMF<br />

<strong>Bowling</strong> World Cup champions<br />

for 2012 after a stunning<br />

display in the stepladder finals,<br />

held in the Sky <strong>Bowling</strong> Centre<br />

in Wroclaw, Poland. Shayna<br />

first had to overcome England’s<br />

Kirsten Penny in the semi-final,<br />

which she did by 2 games to<br />

nil, 246 to 215 and 221 to 191.<br />

She moved on to play Aumi<br />

Guerra of the Dominican<br />

Republic, trying to win the<br />

title for a record third time in a<br />

row. Aumi started like a train,<br />

winning the first game 269 to<br />

224, but Shayna came back to<br />

win and amazing second game<br />

by 267 to 259. So a third game<br />

was needed and two big splits<br />

put Aumi at a big disadvantage.<br />

Syafiq Rhidwan Abdul Malek of<br />

Malaysia, left and Shayna Ng of<br />

Singapore.<br />

By the 9th frame it was all<br />

over and Shayna took the third<br />

game 247 to 169. Her set of 738<br />

is a new arena record, beating<br />

the Philippines’ Lisa del<br />

Rosario’s 737 set in 2001.<br />

Shayna is studying for a<br />

without the speed and rev rate<br />

some of the power guys have,<br />

is pretty much nullified.<br />

“Some of these guys – and<br />

they’re great players – have an<br />

advantage over guys like me.<br />

My weak 10 pin is their messenger<br />

10-pin strike. My 2-10<br />

split could be another strike for<br />

them because they can send<br />

the headpin off the wall.<br />

“It’s been a struggle, but<br />

today I feel great. Great,” he<br />

said with a grin. “Hopefully<br />

I’ve silenced some of the people<br />

who decided that my career is<br />

over. Hopefully I’ve shoved that<br />

right in their mouths.”<br />

Koivuniemi advanced to<br />

the title match with a 214-150<br />

victory over Mike Fagan of<br />

Dallas in the first match, and<br />

a 258-180 win over reigning<br />

PBA Player of the Year Sean<br />

semifinal match.<br />

having competed five times<br />

2002. Shayna said: “I had to<br />

fight my way up from third<br />

but it did mean that I got used<br />

to the lanes for the finals and<br />

Remy really helped me make<br />

lots of adjustments, so many<br />

that I had to write them down<br />

to remember them. It has been<br />

a great experience working<br />

with Remy. This is my first<br />

Syafiq beat Andres Gomez<br />

Qatar Open<br />

Adds 19th nation to international titles list<br />

DOHA, Qatar (Dec. 15,<br />

2012) — Two-time Professional<br />

Bowlers Association Player of<br />

the Year Mika Koivuniemi, a<br />

native of Finland now living in<br />

the United States, continued to<br />

expand his unprecedented international<br />

bowling portfolio when<br />

he won the 12th annual Qatar<br />

Open Saturday at Qatar <strong>Bowling</strong><br />

Center, making Qatar the 19th<br />

different country in which he<br />

has won a bowling title.<br />

Koivuniemi defeated fellow<br />

Finn Tony Ranta, 544-471, in<br />

the two-game total pinfall title<br />

match to win a first prize of<br />

US$39,480.<br />

<strong>The</strong> tournament was part<br />

of the growing World Tenpin<br />

<strong>Bowling</strong> Association-PBA<br />

International Tour series, and it<br />

was the final event of the 2012<br />

European <strong>Bowling</strong> Tour season.<br />

Koivuniemi, who led the<br />

Qatar field of 142 players<br />

from 26 countries through the<br />

preliminary qualifying rounds,<br />

defeated Sweden’s Martin<br />

Larsen, 442-385, to advance<br />

to the title match while Ranta<br />

eliminated 13-time PBA Tour<br />

titlist Tommy Jones of Simpsonville,<br />

S.C., 389-361.<br />

"This is my first title in this<br />

part of the world and I'm glad<br />

I finally broke that jinx," the<br />

45-year-old Koivuniemi said.<br />

Koivuniemi, a long-time<br />

member of Finland’s national<br />

bowling team before joining the<br />

PBA and moving to Hartland,<br />

Mich., had previously won titles<br />

in his home country, Sweden,<br />

Denmark, Japan, Singapore,<br />

Korea, Thailand, Malaysia,<br />

A FEEL GOOD STORY<br />

options might be, before we<br />

ever talk to a doctor. So I’ve<br />

never had a moment of shock<br />

or reasons to get my hopes up<br />

only to be disappointed. I’m<br />

extremely lucky in that aspect.<br />

DB: I know how much<br />

my friends meant to me but I<br />

didn’t want to be a burden and<br />

shied away from people. How<br />

about for you?<br />

SS: Friends have been a<br />

big emotional support. I had<br />

friends bring me lunch in the<br />

hospital daily. Call me and<br />

Angie to see if we were OK.<br />

Just knowing friends care is<br />

a big motivator to get better.<br />

People who have dealt with<br />

cancer, including you, have<br />

been more than willing to<br />

share their stories and be there<br />

for support. I got messages on<br />

Facebook from people I knew<br />

and didn’t know wishing me<br />

luck. That’s been great!<br />

DB: I am sure you knew the<br />

prognosis as I did during all<br />

of this, how did you deal with<br />

that part?<br />

SS: In the past I have asked<br />

my wife how she deals with<br />

life and death on a daily basis<br />

from what can be perceived as<br />

life being unfair at times? She<br />

responds with “it’s God’s will”.<br />

I guess that has sunk in over<br />

time. I have never asked “why”<br />

or “why me”? It’s useless and<br />

pointless to dwell on the worst<br />

that might happen. If I’m sick<br />

and laying in a hospital bed,<br />

then I deal with it and look<br />

forward to when I get to go<br />

home. Yes, getting told you have<br />

cancer, going through treatments<br />

and having my body try<br />

to shut down on me is terrible.<br />

But it could of been a lot worse<br />

and I could of not had the support<br />

group I did. For that, I feel<br />

I truly am very fortunate.<br />

Well a couple of weeks ago<br />

I texted Sean and we were<br />

chatting and he said he just<br />

had a MRI done and it showed<br />

something in the area like it<br />

had before. Four days later he<br />

texted me back and said it was<br />

just scar tissue. THANK GOD<br />

is what I said. But that is the<br />

way we live. When you deal<br />

with <strong>The</strong> Big C you are never<br />

truly at ease. But that is why<br />

I say this is a feel good story.<br />

Nothing was there and we hope<br />

nothing ever is. He is truly one<br />

of the good guys, and he can<br />

inspire all of us to keep going<br />

even when there is darkness<br />

hanging over our heads.

THE BOWLING NEWS | Thursday, <strong>Jan</strong>uary 3, 2013 | Page 13<br />

<strong>Jan</strong>e Morris<br />

passes away<br />

By Michelle Rogers<br />

<strong>The</strong> Dallas area recently lost<br />

a huge supporter and pioneer<br />

of junior bowling with the<br />

passing of <strong>Jan</strong>e Morris, long<br />

time youth director at AMF<br />

Showplace Lanes Garland and<br />

Blazer Bowl. She was born<br />

on May 27, 1939 and died<br />

December 15, 2012 she was 73.<br />

Married to Willie Morris for 46<br />

years.<br />

<strong>Bowling</strong> was not only in her<br />

blood, it also became her life.<br />

<strong>Jan</strong>e grew up in the world of<br />

bowling, her father Raymond<br />

Rainey owned Garland Lanes.<br />

She worked the many positions<br />

of a bowling center and took<br />

over as Youth Director in 1977<br />

at Preston Forrest Lanes. When<br />

it closed in 1980 she moved to<br />

Blazer Bowl and then made her<br />

final move to Showplace Lanes<br />

in Garland in 1991.<br />

<strong>Jan</strong>e married Willie Morris,<br />

a Garland High School friend,<br />

in 1966. <strong>The</strong>y reconnected<br />

at Blazer Bowl after hearing<br />

his name called for a high<br />

game one night during league.<br />

Together they raised her two<br />

sons, Donald and Richard<br />

Perry, who also enjoyed and<br />

excelled in the game. <strong>Jan</strong>e was<br />

an avid bowler who averaged<br />

190 for years, back when lanes<br />

were tough. Her personal best<br />

was a high game of 289, a 748<br />

series and she seldom lost the<br />

pot games that she and Willie<br />

would bowl as partners. She<br />

was a long time member of<br />

TCBA bowling with the teams<br />

of <strong>Bowling</strong> and Billiards and<br />

then Showplace Garland Pro<br />

Shop where I finally got the<br />

pleasure of bowling with her.<br />

Her love of the sport also<br />

flowed down to her grandchildren<br />

Keith, Erin, William and<br />

Christopher. She was instrumental<br />

in re-establishing Dallas<br />

area high school bowling and<br />

was the coach for Lakeview<br />

Centennial High School helping<br />

the men win a State Championship<br />

and then runner up the<br />

years her grandson Keith was a<br />

junior and senior.<br />

Her time as Youth Director<br />

was a true passion for her. She<br />

told her husband on her first<br />

Saturday league day at Showplace,<br />

a 58 lane house filled<br />

with people and a full team<br />

on every lane, “if everyone<br />

loved their job as much as I<br />

do, everyone would be happy.”<br />

She not only coached the kids<br />

in her program, she would<br />

also be a surrogate mother<br />

to them. She helped establish<br />

the Grand Prix Scholarship<br />

program which awards points<br />

for participation in league and<br />

tournaments that are converted<br />

to money for use in college.<br />

Some of her better known<br />

juniors include Del Ballard, Jr,<br />

Ted Pritts and Ken Johnson.<br />

I remember when I<br />

started bowling juniors here<br />

in Dallas in ’79; she was one<br />

of the people I always saw at<br />

<strong>Jan</strong>e Morris<br />

tournaments and Jr. Travel<br />

league. She had about 15 – 20<br />

kids around her at all times<br />

constantly asking questions,<br />

telling jokes or simply hugging<br />

on her. She was never<br />

frazzled and loved it. When we<br />

became teammates and friends<br />

bowling TCBA, I enjoyed her<br />

tenacity as a bowler and her<br />

desire to win but have fun.<br />

We would celebrate with a<br />

trip to Baskin Robbins often.<br />

When I became a mom and<br />

my girls starting bowling, she<br />

was their youth director and<br />

I appreciated even more, the<br />

time and attention she gave<br />

to the kids and the parents.<br />

She organized incredible trips<br />

and helped raise money for<br />

the state tournaments for “her<br />

kids” by establishing fund<br />

raising in many forms, renting<br />

charter buses and making sure<br />

everyone going could afford the<br />

food and hotel rooms.<br />

“She always put the kids<br />

first and didn’t care about getting<br />

involved in the politics of<br />

junior bowling,” said Del. “She<br />

was one of the nicest ladies<br />

and will be missed greatly”.<br />

<strong>Jan</strong>e Morris passed away<br />

from complications of bone<br />

cancer. Willie said that he<br />

hoped when people thought<br />

about her that they remember<br />

“she loved what she did and<br />

she was very good at it”. I<br />

agree and am thankful for all<br />

of her contributions. A memorial<br />

service celebrating her life<br />

is being planned and details<br />

are forthcoming.<br />

SHAYNA AND SYAFIQ<br />

Continued from Page 12<br />

and 237 against 225 and 221.<br />

He said afterwards: “I think I<br />

was lucky to play on the championship<br />

lanes first. I learnt<br />

how to play the lanes and I got<br />

better carry in the final match.<br />

It is such an honour for me<br />

and my country as I am the<br />

first Malaysian player to win<br />

this wonderful tournament.”<br />

His win actually means that<br />

Malaysia and the USA are tied<br />

for top country but the trophy<br />

goes to Malaysia as one of their<br />

players won the title.

WTBA partners with USBC<br />

to study new specifications<br />

ARLINGTON — In an effort<br />

to determine new lines of<br />

specifications at the sport of<br />

bowling's elite level, the United<br />

States <strong>Bowling</strong> Congress will<br />

join with the World Tenpin<br />

<strong>Bowling</strong> Association to look at<br />

factors that influence scoring.<br />

"Many of our sport's leaders<br />

believe it is critical to look<br />

more closely at how equipment<br />

and conditions influence scoring,"<br />

WTBA President Kevin<br />

Dornberger said. "We need to<br />

consider if there is justification<br />

for additional classifications for<br />

equipment or conditions for use<br />

by federations at the elite level.<br />

This is an important topic to<br />

explore in an objective and<br />

scientific way, which is why we<br />

are joining with USBC in this<br />

study."<br />

A background study and<br />

hypothesis testing will begin<br />

immediately, with lab and field<br />

testing beginning next year.<br />

<strong>The</strong> studies will be followed by<br />

recommendations to be implemented<br />

and tested at world<br />

events in 2014. A preliminary<br />

report will be presented to the<br />

WTBA Congress in August<br />

2013, while a final recommendation<br />

will be presented in<br />

August 2015.<br />

"We will be looking at what<br />

factors influence scoring and<br />

at what point those factors<br />

change dramatically," USBC<br />

Managing Director of National<br />

Governing Body Neil Stremmel<br />

said. "<strong>The</strong> study will factor in<br />

bowling ball specifications but<br />

will not be limited to that. It is<br />

important to note that the focus<br />

of the research will be aspects<br />

that influence competition<br />

at the elite level and that we<br />

do not anticipate the results<br />

impacting basic USBC rules."<br />

Stremmel said the study also<br />

will include looking at other<br />

aspects of scoring, including<br />

pins, lane conditioners and<br />

lane patterns.<br />

<strong>The</strong> you’re okay NMW<br />

Dr. Dean Hinitz says it’s<br />

difficult to raise your arm if<br />

you think you’re going to get<br />

punched in the ribs. That’s<br />

exactly what judging will do to<br />

you. If you think there is some<br />

kind of punishment or price to<br />

pay for a shot, you won’t make<br />

that shot very well. I don’t<br />

mean punishment like jail or<br />

the IRS; I mean things like<br />

being embarrassed or shown to<br />

be wrong (or even human).<br />

It happens to all of us. I<br />

remember not too long ago<br />

playing on some lanes that<br />

changed more quickly than<br />

anything I had ever experienced.<br />

I left the 4/9 on the<br />

right lane. Because I knew they<br />

changed quickly and, in this<br />

house, if one changed, so did<br />

the other, I moved three left<br />

on the left lane. I left the 4/9.<br />

I moved 5 and 3 more on the<br />

right lane (now 8/3 different<br />

than the first 4/9) and guess<br />

what? I left the 4/9. My first<br />

thought was that all those<br />

people were going to think I<br />

didn’t know to move.<br />

What a shock. (Leaving<br />

back-to-back 4/9s, although not<br />

pleasant, wasn’t as much of a<br />

shock as my thought.) I surely<br />

thought I was past all that<br />

stuff. I knew I was moving.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y weren’t keeping me warm<br />

at night or paying the bills, so<br />

what did it matter what they<br />

thought? Oh my. Still have<br />

World Famous<br />

MID CITY LANES<br />

ROCK ’N’ BOWL<br />

some lessons to learn in this<br />

incarnation, I guess. Anyway, it<br />

was an eye-opener to find that<br />

thought in my head. Of course,<br />

the issue with any thought is<br />

what you do with it. I’m not<br />

responsible for what comes into<br />

my head but I am very responsible<br />

if I choose to keep it. I’m<br />

still working on that part.<br />

I survived three 4/9s in a<br />

row. Regardless if all those<br />

people in scratch league think I<br />

can’t move or didn’t move, I’m<br />

still an okay person. Important<br />

things like the sun coming up<br />

and how happy Semi-Precious<br />

is to see me when I get home<br />

are the same. Those 4/9s<br />

were an inconvenience, not a<br />

tragedy. Too bad I didn’t have<br />

all this wisdom when I shot<br />

129 in Nationals… I used to<br />

think I was unworthy. I mean,<br />

who would want to bowl with<br />

someone who shot 129 at<br />

Nationals??? It’s a constant lesson<br />

to learn to remember that<br />

was my bowling score, not my<br />

life score. I am not my number.<br />

Okayness is a way of life, a<br />

way of thinking of things that<br />

observes what happens, not<br />

judges outcome.<br />

It’s the same way you treat<br />

your doubles partner. You<br />

would never talk to your doubles<br />

partner the way you talk to<br />

yourself. You know that if you<br />

tell someone they are crummy<br />

or worthless or a terrible 10<br />

pin shooter long enough, they<br />

town of Saginaw and now I go<br />

with my teammates and friends<br />

in Pittsburgh. I was introduced<br />

to the PBA when I played in<br />

Chris Paul's charity event<br />

and got a firsthand look at<br />

how incredibly talented these<br />

athletes are, and I couldn't be<br />

more excited to be a celebrity<br />

owner in the first ever PBA<br />

League."<br />

Woodley will be owner of<br />

the Pittsburgh Jack Rabbits<br />

which is made up of franchise<br />

player Osku Palermaa, Martin<br />

Larsen, former Saginaw<br />

Valley State All-American Dan<br />

MacLelland, Thomas Larsen,<br />

Patrick Allen and supplemental<br />

pick Anthony LaCaze.<br />

Woodley was a member of<br />

the 2008 Steelers’ Super Bowl<br />

championship team and was<br />

also an All-American and<br />

Big Ten Defensive Player of<br />

the Year at the University of<br />

Michigan before being drafted<br />

by the Steelers in 2007.<br />

"LaMarr is a proven winner<br />

and we are glad to have him on<br />

our side,” said PBA Commissioner<br />

Tom Clark. “<strong>The</strong>re are<br />

some natural rivalries within<br />

the PBA League forming fast,<br />

including LaMarr's Pittsburgh<br />

team and Jerome Bettis' Motown<br />

squad. Plus, who in their<br />

right mind will dare make the<br />

ridiculous statement 'bowling<br />

isn't a sport' to Mr. Woodley?"<br />

Woodley is also active in<br />

many charitable initiatives. <strong>The</strong><br />

LaMarr Woodley Foundation<br />

– www.lamarrwoodleyfoundation.com<br />

underprivileged and underserved<br />

youth and adults an<br />

opportunity to overcome<br />

unfortunate situations and<br />

their environment.<br />

make up the PBA League were<br />

determined through a draft<br />

we all had at sometime during<br />

assured everyone he will be<br />

back in 2013 to defend his<br />

a threat.<br />

2013 will also bring us more<br />

televised PBA events on ESPN<br />

including five weeks of PBA<br />

league bowling. Eight teams that<br />

will make up the PBA League<br />

were determined through a<br />

draft that was conducted during<br />

players from the PBA Tour<br />

eligible to compete, including<br />

PBA Hall of Famers Pete Weber,<br />

Parker Bohn III and ESPN<br />

analyst Randy Pedersen. Also<br />

on the list of those becoming<br />

eligible at age 50 in the months<br />

ahead are PBA Tour champions<br />

Jack Jurek, Chris Warren and<br />

David Traber.<br />

2013 should be a great year.<br />

While bowling a make up<br />

set for one of my senior leagues<br />

at Phantom Warrior Lanes on<br />

20 December, we arrived at<br />

11 a.m. and there were about<br />

ten high school bowlers there<br />

practicing. By noon the majority<br />

of the 48 lane center was in<br />

use. I have been bowling for<br />

many years in the association<br />

and know most of the league<br />

bowlers, but I saw many young<br />

soldiers and youth bowlers that<br />

I never saw bowling in leagues,<br />

and they were really good.<br />

Talking with the soldiers they<br />

said they didn’t bowl leagues<br />

because of deployments, but<br />

get together for open bowling<br />

whenever they have the chance.<br />

I know some teams and leagues<br />

that would like to have those<br />

young arms on their roster.<br />

again – What do you think<br />

of the USBC awards program?<br />

Personally, I never expect to<br />

roll a 300 game, I’ll leave a ten<br />

pin at some time during the ten<br />

frames. However, I have all the<br />

key chains I need. I bowled a<br />

250 game and got a key chain.<br />

My friend on another team<br />

rolled a 700 series and got the<br />

same key chain as I got. Now<br />

I ask you, Is it harder to roll<br />

three games equaling 700 plus,<br />

or bowling one game for 250?<br />

Come on USBC you can do<br />

better. <strong>The</strong> awards are laughed<br />

at by most.<br />

x/x/x<br />

Well, it’s time to check my<br />

equipment and try and raise<br />

my average the rest of this<br />

year. <strong>The</strong>re are a lot of tournaments<br />

I am scheduled to bowl<br />

and I don’t want to look too<br />

foolish. Here’s hoping you all<br />

have a great 2013, but most of<br />

all have fun and enjoy your<br />

bowling friends.<br />

See you on the lanes.<br />

life thanks to my dad,” said<br />

Hardwick, who also has more<br />

than 1.7 million followers on<br />

Twitter. “I was actually named<br />

after Chris Schenkel! As a 190-<br />

200 average bowler, I would<br />

never make it on the Tour<br />

so the next best thing for me<br />

is to acquire a team so I can<br />

live vicariously through their<br />

accomplishments—kind of like<br />

an annoying stagemom.<br />

“Since bowling is the purest<br />

demonstration of Newtonian<br />

Physics, I wanted a science-y<br />

team name so I went with<br />

"Atom Splitters.” Of course,<br />

splits are no good to a bowler,<br />

but I think the name refers<br />

more to the fact that Chris<br />

Barnes and Co. are so accurate<br />

on the lanes, that the precision<br />

of their shots could split any<br />

single atom of their choosing.<br />

It is very exciting to me that<br />

almost all of the other teams<br />

are owned by professional<br />

athletes who are about to feel<br />

the searing sting of getting<br />

their asses handed to them by<br />

a nerd."<br />

Hardwick’s other credits<br />

include hosting AMC network’s<br />

highly-rated Talking Dead, and<br />

an hour-long stand-up comedy<br />

special called "Mandroid" that<br />

premiered in 2012 on Comedy<br />

Central. He previously hosted<br />

Singled Out on MTV and Web<br />

Soup for the G4 Network.<br />

Hardwick is also getting a<br />

full season at BBC America.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Nerdist (named after his<br />

popular podcast and website),<br />

has expanded from numerous<br />

pop-culture specials to a<br />

10-episode season that will<br />

kick off in spring 2013 as part<br />

of the cable network's "Supernatural<br />

Saturday" programming<br />

block.<br />

"Chris Hardwick has the<br />

perfect DNA to become an<br />

owner in the PBA League and<br />

we couldn't be more excited<br />

about the partnership,” said<br />

Clark. “His father is a legend<br />

on the lanes and Chris is not<br />

only a great promoter of bowling<br />

already with his All-Star<br />

Celebrity <strong>Bowling</strong> show on his<br />

web site but brings legions of<br />

fans from his ever-expanding<br />

kingdom to the PBA."<br />

Hardwick will compete in<br />

the Chris Paul PBA League<br />

All-Stars event which will take<br />

place on <strong>Jan</strong>. 7 at Lucky Strike<br />

LA Live in Los Angeles. <strong>The</strong><br />

tournament, which benefits<br />

CP3 charities will air on ESPN<br />

O’Neill answered with a string<br />

head after building a big lead<br />

with seven strikes to start the<br />

contest. Wolfe, who didn’t<br />

throw consecutive strikes until<br />

the seventh and eighth frames,<br />

was all but eliminated after six<br />

frames.<br />

“When I got the strike in<br />

the seventh frame, I knew I<br />

just needed one more mark to<br />

lock up the title,” he said. “I<br />

got to thinking it would be really<br />

cool to shoot 300, because<br />

Tony Reyes bowled 300 for his<br />

first title on this lane condition,<br />

and that was kind of going<br />

through my mind. I got a little<br />

jittery in the eighth and threw<br />

it a little quick, and left the 2-8-<br />

10. That’s what happened.”<br />

Reyes, a close friend, died<br />

in late September of injuries<br />

sustained in a traffic accident<br />

near his northern California<br />

home.<br />

“Tony was on all of our<br />

minds,” O’Neill said. “<strong>The</strong>re<br />

was a masking unit with his<br />

picture on it in the bowling<br />

center and every time you saw<br />

it, it was sad, but you have to<br />

put it out of your mind. You<br />

just had to know he’d want you<br />

to do well. We all wish he was<br />

here.”<br />
