ARLINGTON — <strong>The</strong> World<br />

Tenpin <strong>Bowling</strong> Association<br />

World <strong>Bowling</strong> Tour will see<br />

continued growth in 2013 and<br />

include double points for major<br />

events.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> World <strong>Bowling</strong> Tour<br />

has been a tremendous success<br />

in its first two seasons,”<br />

Freshman throws first 300<br />

By Kayla Endicott, Staff Writer<br />

Keith Thomas Jr. is a freshman<br />

at North Crowley High<br />

School. When asked about the<br />

changes between high school<br />

and middle school he replied<br />

“High school has a lot more<br />

school work and classes. <strong>The</strong><br />

way they handle athletics is<br />

also different. All around, it’s<br />

just more work”. Keith doesn’t<br />

bowl for high school because<br />

he has league Saturday mornings.<br />

He holds a 226 average<br />

and after 3 years of bowling,<br />

Keith threw his first 300. “It<br />

was October 13, 2012. I was<br />

at Saturday morning league at<br />

Cityview Lanes and everybody<br />

in the alley just stopped and<br />

watched me. I was nervous and<br />

excited I guess. Plus a little<br />

pressured cause everybody was<br />

counting on me” he stated. His<br />

highest game prior to bowling<br />

his 300, was a 296. “I wanted<br />

to finally shoot my 300 cause<br />

I’ve came close so many times<br />

before. Once I start getting<br />

closer to finishing the game,<br />

anxiety picks up and I begin to<br />

WTBA President and CEO<br />

Kevin Dornberger said. “We<br />

look forward to continuing the<br />

great partnerships we have<br />

developed over the past two<br />

years while also welcoming in<br />

new events in 2013.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> first event on the<br />

2013 schedule is currently in<br />

progress in Las Vegas, United<br />

States, at the PBA World<br />

Championship. As a major on<br />

the schedule, the event will<br />

shake a little.”<br />

Keith enjoys throwing Storm<br />

equipment. “I love all my bowling<br />

balls, but if I had to choose<br />

my favorite, I would have to<br />

say it’s my Crossroad.” If given<br />

the opportunity, he would like<br />

to bowl for college but Keith is<br />

also a football player. “I still<br />

have a long life ahead of me. I<br />

don’t want to make any decisions<br />

yet on which road I‘m<br />

going to take.” For now, you<br />

can catch Keith on the fields at<br />

school and the bowling alley<br />

on the weekends.<br />

By Leisha Murr<br />

Ahh… the holidays are<br />

officially upon us. With<br />

Thanksgiving this week and<br />

Christmas just a few weeks<br />

away, it always reminds me to<br />

be thankful. I try to be grateful<br />

and say Thank You every day,<br />

but the holidays always remind<br />

me of the people and things I<br />

have to be thankful for.<br />

One of the first things<br />

most people will say they are<br />

thankful for is their health.<br />

I’m not the healthiest person<br />

in the world, but I am glad<br />

that I’m healthy enough to do<br />

the things I enjoy like bowling<br />

and playing softball. We just<br />

finished another softball season<br />

and I’m grateful to have made it<br />

through with great weather and<br />

without any injuries. Every year<br />

I get reminded that I’m getting<br />

too old to keep playing ball, but<br />

sadly I’m still one of the youngest<br />

on my team so they won’t<br />

let me use that excuse to quit<br />

playing. And, I really do still<br />

enjoy it most of the time. We<br />

play teams half our ages and<br />

still managed to go undefeated<br />

again this session.<br />

<strong>The</strong> next thing I am always<br />

thankful for is my family. First<br />

of all, they put up with me and<br />

I’m not sure everyone’s family<br />

would. All of my life, they have<br />

always been encouraging and<br />

supportive of me in everything<br />

I do. <strong>The</strong>y accept me; the good,<br />

the bad and even the ugly<br />

sometimes. And they forgive<br />

me for mistakes I’ve made and<br />

love me through it all. We can<br />

all lean on each other in my<br />

family and it makes all things<br />

in life a little easier.<br />

I’m also very thankful for<br />

my bowling family. It always<br />

warms my heart to see how<br />

the bowling community comes<br />

together like a family in times<br />

of loss or need. I’ve said this<br />

before about how generous<br />

bowlers are when it comes to<br />

raising money for charities like<br />

the diabetes foundation, breast<br />

and other cancer research,<br />

veterans, etc., but we are also<br />

generous when it comes to<br />

helping each other. In this<br />

extended family, we may not all<br />

know each other, but we know<br />

someone who knows the person<br />

everyone is trying to help.<br />

Families are a large part of<br />

the bowling community. How<br />

many children start bowling<br />

because their father bowls or<br />

their grandmother bowls? I<br />

know my siblings and I started<br />

because our mother bowled<br />

every week. It’s great that<br />

bowling is a sport that you can<br />

Th e <strong>Bowling</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />

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

participate in a league with<br />

your entire family. You can be<br />

on a team with your children,<br />

parents, and even grandparents<br />

and still be competitive. It’s<br />

very rare that I find someone<br />

who is really into bowling who<br />

doesn’t have someone else in<br />

their family who is or was a<br />

bowler. I notice it in the Looking<br />

Back section of the paper<br />

every week, one generation of<br />

a family can be in the 20 years<br />

ago and their child will show<br />

up in the 10 years ago section.<br />

It’s really great to see.<br />

Speaking of sections in the<br />

paper, has anyone else noticed<br />

how short the Honor Roll has<br />

gotten? We haven’t had that<br />

many centers in the metroplex<br />

shut down recently, but there are<br />

just fewer who are getting the<br />

paper each week. I had a bowler<br />

in my league talking to me<br />

about this last week. He finally<br />

bowled another honor score, but<br />

because it was at another center<br />

that wasn’t taking the paper it<br />

won’t get printed for him to be<br />

able to keep in his memorabilia<br />

or scrapbook. So, congrats to Bill<br />

Criss for bowling a 299 game at<br />

Cityview a few weeks ago. It’s<br />

really not that expensive for a<br />

center to keep <strong>The</strong> <strong>Bowling</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />

coming in the building each<br />

week. It’s a small price to pay to<br />

be able to showcase your league<br />

bowlers, give them the opportunity<br />

to know what tournaments<br />

and other things are going on<br />

around the metroplex, and read<br />

my wisdom (or nonsense) each<br />

week.<br />

And finally, I’m thankful<br />

to Tony, Genie, and the rest of<br />

<strong>The</strong> Bowing <strong>News</strong> family for<br />

giving me the opportunity to<br />

share a part of myself each<br />

week. Thank you all for<br />

continuing to read each week<br />

and I hope you enjoy Last Call!<br />

Dick Smith<br />

passes away<br />

SASBA Hall of Famer<br />

and long-time DFW bowling<br />

legend, Dick Smith<br />

passed away on Friday<br />

November 9th after a long<br />

battle with cancer. He was<br />

71 yrs-old.<br />

Smith was an eight-time<br />

SASBA champion who is<br />

20th on the all-time earnings<br />

list with over $62,000.<br />

He is remembered by his<br />

bowling friends as an<br />

extremely kind man who<br />

always had a smile on his<br />

face. His bowling ball will<br />

always be remembered as<br />

having the power to knock<br />

more pins than it was<br />

supposed to, earning him<br />

several nicknames over the<br />

years for his penchant for<br />

the sloppy strike.<br />

He is survived by<br />

his wife Jan, children,<br />

grandchildren, and<br />

great-grandchildren<br />

He was buried at the<br />

Acton Cemetery in Grandbury,<br />

TX on Nov. 12th.<br />

Joy McGregor passes away<br />

Joy McGregor, wife of Hall<br />

of Famer Bob McGregor, lost<br />

her 18-month battle with<br />

cancer on Tuesday November<br />

13th and went home to her<br />

Lord and Savior.<br />

She is survived by her loving<br />

husband, Bob; daughters,<br />

Kelly Parker, Ryan Asprion<br />

and husband Rene, Cory<br />

Postema and husband Andy;<br />

brother, Gene Arnold and wife<br />

Sherry; grandsons, Zachariah<br />

and Noah Postema, Blake and<br />

Nickolas Parker, Nolan and<br />

Dalton Asprion.<br />

<strong>The</strong> memorial service was<br />

held Monday November 19th at<br />

10 a.m. at Glory of Zion Church<br />

in Corinth, TX.<br />

From Bob: Joy hoped that<br />

in lieu of flowers you would<br />

consider a gift that we would<br />

forward to the Mango Tree<br />

Church in Cambodia. It’s<br />

Joy McGregor<br />

named that because its mem- started the church in a small,<br />

out-of-the-way village. Joy<br />

jumped in and began supporting<br />

the group with money to<br />

buy food (they had very little<br />

during the dry season) and to<br />

start construction at $0.10 per<br />

brick on a small church building.<br />

<strong>The</strong> foundation and walls<br />

are in, and I believe they (the<br />

members) are now working on<br />

the roof and interior as they<br />

receive funds. It’s nothing like<br />

the church buildings we see<br />

Joy and grandson Nolan.<br />

bers have been meeting under<br />

a mango tree for many months.<br />

We found out about it not long<br />

ago from our Cambodian next<br />

door neighbor whose nephew<br />

every day, but it will be a wonderful<br />

gathering place for the<br />

villagers. If this appeals to you,<br />

please make out your check to<br />

Glory of Zion international and<br />

on the “for” or “subject” line of<br />

the check be sure to write “Joy<br />

McGregor Memorial Fund.”<br />

Storm National Mixed Championships comes to a close<br />

RENO, Nev. — <strong>The</strong> 2012<br />

Storm National Mixed Championships<br />

ended in dramatic<br />

fashion as new leaders emerged<br />

in 10 divisions at the National<br />

<strong>Bowling</strong> Stadium during the<br />

tournament's final weekend.<br />

Jackie Wyckoff of Campbell,<br />

Calif., led the way as she<br />

captured the top spot in three<br />

events, while Renee Steele of<br />

Carson City, Nev., and John<br />

Bertolina of Henderson, Nev.,<br />

each grabbed the lead in two<br />

events. All standings are<br />

considered unofficial until final<br />

verifications are made.<br />

Wyckoff, a <strong>Bowling</strong> Writers<br />

Association of America board<br />

member, had success at the<br />

Stadium earlier in the year as<br />

she helped Coefficient of Friction<br />

of Palo Alto, Calif., claim<br />

the Scratch Team title at the<br />

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

Women's Championships.<br />

In her return visit to the<br />

one-of-a-kind Stadium, Wyckoff<br />

rolled games of 269, 231 and<br />

225 for a 725 series to lead<br />

Anthony Simonsen outscored<br />

She also teamed up with Steve<br />

Corsaro of Tracy, Calif., to<br />

record a 1,352 combined score<br />

to take over the lead in Mixed<br />

Doubles Scratch.<br />

Steele already had made a<br />

name for herself at the 2012<br />

National Mixed Championships<br />

by rolling an 816 series and<br />

taking the lead in three events<br />

when she competed two weeks<br />

earlier. In her second effort at<br />

the "Taj Mahal of Tenpins,"<br />

Steele grabbed the top spot in<br />

All-Events Women's Scratch<br />

with 2,043 as well as the lead<br />

in the Six-Game Scratch Singles<br />

event with 1,462.<br />

PIN POINTS<br />

TO PONDER<br />

By CHUCK PEZZANO<br />

One of the greatest feats in<br />

bowling history unfolded more<br />

than 50 years ago.<br />

It was the TV winning<br />

streak piled up by the late<br />

Lou Campi of Dumont, N.J.,<br />

a member of the ABC Hall of<br />

Fame and half a dozen other<br />

Halls. Campi rolled with the<br />

top teams, won the national<br />

doubles with Andy Varipapa,<br />

and again with Lindy Faragalli,<br />

and more than 100 assorted<br />

titles. He gained special<br />

attention as "Wrongfoot Lou"<br />

because he finished on his<br />

right foot even though he was<br />

a righty, and according to the<br />

books, that's the wrong foot.<br />

A mason by trade/ Campi<br />

was strong physically, but even<br />

stronger mentally, and early<br />

acquired the reputation as one<br />

of the best clutch bowlers in<br />

the game. That, and his pride<br />

and confidence in his ability,<br />

made him an almost perfect<br />

performer for TV. Prior to<br />

the streak he had established<br />

himself as an outstanding TV<br />

performer, winning a couple<br />

of cars, pretty fair cash for the<br />

times, and all kinds of merchandise.<br />

He made constant TV<br />

appearances across the country.<br />

No score or record bothered<br />

him, and he never worried<br />

about how high scores might<br />

be. He often said, "If a man<br />

bowled it, a man can beat it."<br />

<strong>The</strong> TV shows were aired<br />

live from New York City when<br />

Campi was 52. Two years later<br />

Paul Fleming rocketed to the<br />

top of the honor roll last week at<br />

Cowtown <strong>Bowling</strong> Palace with a<br />

thundering 268-299-216 = 783 Ft<br />

Campi made history when he<br />

won the first official tourney<br />

conducted by the PBA.<br />

<strong>The</strong> show was called, "East<br />

Vs. West" and was scheduled<br />

for 13 weeks. <strong>The</strong> format was<br />

simple. A list of bowlers from<br />

the East and another of bowlers<br />

from the west was compiled,<br />

and when a bowler lost he<br />

would be replaced the following<br />

week by the next man on<br />

the list. <strong>The</strong> winner would<br />

return.<br />

top score of the week at AMF<br />

TRIBUTE PATCH, SILENT<br />

AUCTION RAISE MORE THAN<br />

$10,000 FOR TONY REYES’<br />

FAMILY<br />

<strong>The</strong> Tony Reyes tribute<br />

patch program, and a silent<br />

auction conducted during the<br />

GEICO PBA World Series of<br />

<strong>Bowling</strong> IV in Las Vegas has<br />

generated more than $10,000<br />

thus far to benefit the family<br />

of the fallen PBA Tour champion<br />

who died on Sept. 28 of<br />

injuries sustained in a traffic<br />

accident near his northern<br />

California home.<br />

Sales of “TR” emblems,<br />

in black and silver in honor<br />

of Reyes’ favorite team – the<br />

Oakland Raiders, has generated<br />

nearly $4,000 to date. <strong>The</strong><br />

Tristan Bridgewater recorded<br />

a top-notch 268-290-192 = 750<br />

Red Bird Men’s league series to<br />

head the leader boards for the<br />

included a number of autographed<br />

jerseys donated by<br />

PBA Tour players, bowling<br />

balls, a wine collection, an<br />

autographed copy of the “50<br />

Greatest PBA Players” and more<br />

raised an additional $6,565 for<br />

the Reyes family.<br />

While Reyes was on the<br />

minds of many PBA players<br />

and PBA staff members during<br />

the World Series, the most<br />

touching moment came at the<br />

end of competition when a<br />

number of his long-time friends<br />

walked down the lanes to<br />

autograph a special masking<br />

unit designed in Reyes’ honor.<br />

RECORD-SETTING PBA ALL<br />

REGIONS TITLE IN LAS<br />

VEGAS<br />

Amateur George Gohagan<br />

III of Roswell, Ga., defeated<br />

former PBA Women’s Series<br />

champion Shannon Pluhowsky<br />

of Kettering, Ohio, in a one-ball<br />

sudden death roll-off, 10-9, that<br />

concluded a record-setting PBA<br />

All Regions South Point Open<br />

at South Point <strong>Bowling</strong> Center<br />

in Las Vegas on Saturday, Nov.<br />

10.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Gohagan-Pluhowsky<br />

roll-off followed a 224-224 tie.<br />

After each player threw three<br />

matching strikes, Gohagan<br />

broke the tie for the win.<br />

But there was a great deal of<br />

additional drama leading up to<br />

the title match.<br />

Gohagan, who earned<br />

$3,500, defeated England’s Dom<br />

Barrett, 300-298, in a nailbiting<br />

semifinal round match<br />

when Barrett left a pocket 7-10,<br />

ending a personal string of 32<br />

consecutive strikes that began<br />

in the Round of 8. Pluhowsky<br />

ousted Tom Daugherty of<br />

Wesley Chapel, Fla., 247-236, in<br />

the other semifinal match.<br />

In the Round of 8, Barrett<br />

won his best-of-three-game<br />

match against Kyle Troup<br />

of Taylorsville, N.C., 2-0, by<br />

winning an 11-ball roll-off after<br />

they tied at 280-280 in game<br />

two. Both players threw 10<br />

strikes in a row before Troup<br />

left a pin standing on his 11th<br />

attempt while Barrett threw his<br />

11th strike.<br />

In the Round of 16, Gohagan<br />

and amateur Ron Nelson Jr.<br />

of Bridgeview, Ill., battled to a<br />

300-300 tie in the second game<br />

of their best-of-five match,<br />

and each then threw three<br />

more strikes in the roll-off<br />

before Gohagan’s fourth strike<br />

eliminated Nelson’s sevencount.<br />

Gohagan went on to win<br />

the contest, 3-2, with a 268-253<br />

win in game five.<br />

In a companion event held<br />

in conjunction with the GEICO<br />

PBA World Series of <strong>Bowling</strong><br />

IV, amateur Adam Ishman<br />

of Las Vegas and Barrett<br />

defeated amateur Raul Rosales<br />

of El Monte, Calif. and Michael<br />

Haugen Jr. of Carefree, Ariz.,<br />

502-459, to win the $4,000 top<br />

prize in the PBA West Region<br />

Just Paying<br />

Attention<br />

Attention By Mark London<br />

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

According to PBA Commissioner<br />

Tom Clark, many more<br />

have been watching the PBA’s<br />

World Series of <strong>Bowling</strong> online.<br />

For the second straight year,<br />

viewership is up 60% over the<br />

previous year. A pretty good<br />

increase for a sports league<br />

whose internet presence a national<br />

magazine recently called<br />

“perhaps a decade ahead of its<br />

time.” Unfortunately, this has<br />

not necessarily translated into<br />

any new outside-the-industry<br />

advertisers. But the PBA’s new<br />

marketing firm, Shamrock<br />

Sports and Entertainment,<br />

Clark adds, “is aggressive and<br />

seems good things are on the<br />

horizon.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> PBA’s internet presence<br />

also means player interaction<br />

with fans during competition<br />

is at an all-time high, which is<br />

a carry-over from last season.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 21 st century verbs Facebooking<br />

and Tweeting are very<br />

much known to PBA fans who<br />

want to follow block-by-block<br />

or even game-by-game action<br />

of their favorites. It’s hard to<br />

find a top pro who doesn’t<br />

have a fan page. One of the<br />

fun things about watching PBA<br />

XtraFrame is listening to near<br />

instantaneous responses of<br />

Kevin Roberts racked up<br />

a rousing 257-257-278 = 792<br />

Classis High Pot league session to<br />

earn the top spot on the honor roll<br />

Terri Trefger, form the High<br />

Pot with a Twist group, fronted<br />

distaff scoring with a high-flying<br />

244-192-212 = 648 set.<br />

Billy Fontenot’s near perfect<br />

299 solo earned high-game<br />

honors while George Calloway<br />

took runner-up honors with a<br />

298 game.<br />

Facebook postings by Mike J.<br />

Laneside, Jason ‘<strong>The</strong> <strong>Bowling</strong><br />

Guy’ Thomas, or insidebowling.com’s<br />

Mike Flanagan. One<br />

that sticks out was a posting<br />

a couple of years ago from the<br />

Ukraine. Really, the Ukraine?<br />

True. Wouldn’t have believed<br />

it myself if I was not sitting<br />

next to Mike J. describing a<br />

PBA Midwest Regional finals<br />

at the time. I don’t think you’ll<br />

see Tony Romo answering fans<br />

Facebook questions on his<br />

latest, uh, completion, yeah,<br />

that’s it.<br />

You’ve also noticed a few<br />

new wrinkles on XtraFrame<br />

this year. <strong>The</strong> high, wide-angle<br />

camera was showing six pairs<br />

at a time at the WSOB. <strong>The</strong> cutaways<br />

to the in-house standing<br />

boards seen are clearer than<br />

ever before. Not sure if they are<br />

using newer cameras or what,<br />

but it looks good on screen.<br />

Since Day one of the Chris<br />

Peters era, technology has<br />

been at the forefront, however,<br />

the PBA may still be ten years<br />

ahead of its time.<br />

Here’s another pleasant surprise<br />

form this year’s WSOB.<br />

Mike J, it’s guest commentator<br />

booth during the last two U.S.<br />

Opens with the guys and really<br />

sounds like he has spent some<br />

time behind a microphone. He’s<br />

got great voice presence, can<br />

go from one topic to another<br />

with ease while chatting with<br />

either bowlers or broadcasters.<br />

Mike Flanagan also sounded<br />

very good with Mike J. and<br />

Petraglia, Jr. While dropping in<br />

upon his arrival at the WSOB<br />

on XtraFrame, ESPN analyst<br />

Randy Pedersen dubbed them,<br />

“Mike and Mike,” the same<br />

name as the ESPN Radio morning<br />

show tandem, Mike Golic<br />

and Mike Greenberg. And yes,<br />

it was meant in a good way.<br />

<strong>The</strong> PBA World Championship<br />

finals look promising with<br />

numerous story angles. Rhino<br />

Page spent the summer practicing<br />

bowling rather than on the<br />

golf course, making a huge run<br />

in the last two rounds of match<br />

play to qualify fourth. Dan<br />

MacLelland has been knocking<br />

on the door for the last three<br />

years after making the USBC<br />

Masters finals and a snagging<br />

a gold medal in the 2011<br />

PABCON Masters. After not<br />

making a show in three years,<br />

PBA Hall of Famer Parker<br />

Bohn III is four wins from one<br />

of two major titles not on his<br />

resume’. <strong>The</strong> top two seeds,<br />

Jason Belmonte and Sean<br />

Rash, undoubtedly the Jack<br />

and Arnie or Earl and Mark of<br />

this generation, continue their<br />

rivalry into another season.<br />

Oh, and by the way, if you are<br />

not sure who Jack and Arnie<br />

are, just Google ‘jack and arnie<br />

golf.” I don’t have the space to<br />

explain it.<br />

USA Today sportswriter<br />

Gary Mihoces wrote a half<br />

page article on the new PBA<br />

League appearing in the<br />

Tuesday November 8 issue. OK<br />

what gives? I’d be willing to<br />

put money, that this is the first<br />

half-page bowling article in<br />

the USA Today sports section<br />

since Kulick’s legendary 2010<br />

ToC win. Remember, this is<br />

the same paper that proudly<br />

carried round-by-round standings<br />

of PBA national tour<br />

events until the late 90s. Not to<br />

mention, another sportswriter<br />

at the time later left that paper<br />

and joined an organization in a<br />

management position. He often<br />

wrote columns suggesting the<br />

PBA try a few different things.<br />

You know him today as PBA<br />

Commissioner Tom Clark. That<br />

USA Today piece is the type of<br />

impact advertising cannot buy.<br />

Hard to believe, but there<br />

was a second bowling story appearing<br />

in a major daily newspaper<br />

on Wednesday November<br />

8th. In case you missed it, and<br />

chances are you probably did,<br />

former USBC writer Gianmarc<br />

Manzione penned a story about<br />

the New York City bowling<br />

hustler scene in the New York<br />

Times. That New York Times?<br />

Yeppers. Even with all the Hurricane<br />

Sandy and post-election<br />

coverage, the story appeared<br />

in the sports section and is<br />

scheduled to be part of a book<br />

Manzione is preparing. <strong>The</strong><br />

topic on the surface looks to be<br />

a bowling story, but really is a<br />

look at a slice of society from<br />

that time. Almost sounds like<br />

something you’d see Sunday<br />

night on AMC after Mad Men,<br />

doesn’t it?
