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 />

record a 1,352 combined score<br />
to take over the lead in Mixed<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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?
