Tommy Jones, Shannon Pluhowski repeat in Luci 

By Tony Franklin 

Publisher, The Bowling News 

Tommy Jones and Shannon 

Pluhowsky were victorious in 

the 11th Luci Bonneau Memorial 

Mixed Doubles Tournament 

held in Houston on July 23-25. 

This marks the third time 

in four years they’ve won the 

event. And the year they didn’t 

win, they got fourth. 

The duo ended up beating 

second-place finishers, Wes 

Malott and Shannon O’Keefe, 

by only 90 pins, only because 

they started tapping the brakes 

with about five games to go. 

At one point their lead over 

second place swelled to over 

Three centers join the Bowling News family 

Rockwall’s 

Shenaniganz set for 

full speed bowling 

By Jim Woodruff 

The Shenaniganz Bowling 

and Entertainment Center has 

been the best-kept secret in 

this part of the country. 

No more. 

The center is all dolled up 

and ready to go at full speed 

with its 120 employees. 

The beautiful center actually 

opened Dec. 17, 2008, but 

held off on the bowling end of 

the business until they were 

certain they could manage 

such an extravagant center like 

it should be. 

The center is located on 

400 pins. 

The field for the “Luci”, as it 

is known, is one of the stron- 

Big happenings at The 

Bowling News Kickoff Classic 

The Bowling News Kickoff 

Classic will be held on Saturday 

Aug. 28 at 7:00 p.m. at 

AMF Showplace Euless. 

The event is the brainchild 

of tournament director Dino 

Castillo. “It is as much a 

bowler’s appreciation event 

as a tournament. I wanted to 

run a tournament that would 

get bowlers energized and 

ready for the upcoming league 

season,” he said. 

The event will have booths 

from all of the major Bowling 

Ball companies, Ebonite, 

From left: David Jay, manager, Palace Bowling Lanes, Shannon 

Pluhowsky, Tommy Jones and Donna Conners, tournament director 

Track, Columbia 300, Hammer, 

Brunswick, Storm/Roto Grip 

and 900 Global. 

Before the tournament starts 

on Saturday the Ball companies 

will be hosting a “Demo 

Day” from 1-5 p.m., where 

you can come out and try the 

latest and greatest balls that 

the companies have to offer. 

This is a unique way for the 

general bowling public to get 

to practice with all of the new 

balls on the market, and also 

spend time talking about the

Th e Bowling News 

By JIM WOODRUFF 

Oh, for the good old days 

when you could really get 

excited about the PBA Tour 

getting ready for the kickoff. 

I loved it. You knew when 

and where it was going to 

be. And you knew where you 

wanted to be on Saturday 

afternoons. That would be 

with Chris, Bo and the boys. 

Now the World Series of 

Bowling is going to start 

before too long. And, if I 

understand it all, it will 

kick off with a number of 

those beloved tape-delayed 

tournaments which aren’t too 

exciting when you know the 

winner before it starts. 

I would like to work out a 

way to see the shows and not 

know the winners. But that 

ain’t going to happen. 

What makes it extra 

discouraging is that we have 

so many great bowlers around 

here like Chris Barnes, Mike 

Scroggins and Wes Malott 

that we really want to see. 

One or two of them usually is 

in contention. 

I’m sure the PBA is aware 

of its woes and is doing the 

best it can. 

So I suppose I should stop 

complaining so much and do 

the best I can. But I will be 

anxious for them to get down 

to the live-TV shows. We were 

spoiled too much for too long. 

* * * 

Connie Cotton, one of this 

area’s most popular folks 

who had a heart attack a few 

months ago, is still recuperating, 

but has had a few 

problems. 

Like the doctors are having 

a little trouble getting the 

medicine regulated. 

And her back has gone out 

and she can’t bowl. That’s 

really hard for her to take. 

* * * 

We are going to have 

ourselves a really good 

tournament this month. 

It will be the Fort Worth- 

Dallas NABI Open. 

The winner will take home 

$8,000 with 300 entries. 

NABI’s Tina Taylor said it 

looks like it’s going to be a 

huge success.

PBA players participate in 

Jeff Gordon charity event 

PBA Hall of Famers Parker 

Bohn III and Mike Aulby were 

participants in the annual 

Jeff Gordon celebrity bowling 

fund-raiser at Western Bowl in 

Indianapolis on July 22 as part 

of NASCAR’s Brickyard 400 

week. 

The annual event, which 

raised more than $300,000, 

benefits the Jeff Gordon Pediatric 

Cancer Research Fund at 

Riley Hospital for Children in 

Indianapolis. 

Gordon, Sam Hornish Jr. 

and Sara Fisher were among 

the race car drivers who 

attended. 

Tonya Castro 

This week’s high woman is 

Tonya Castro with a 236-279- 

269 for a 784 series at AMF 

Showplace Garland Lanes. 

Tonya works for AT&T as a 

proofer. She proofreads all of 

the ads that go into the phone 

book. Her daughter Megan also 

bowls, but not the year-round 

schedule that Tonya follows. 

What is your high series? 

796, and that was a few years 

ago in a doubles tournament 

with Daniel Adams. 

How many 300’s have you 

bowled? I have bowled three. 

Thoughts on your big night? 

I was relaxed and had a new 

ball drilled a few weeks ago 

and bowled really well. I was 

really comfortable and it was 

my night. 

What ball did you throw? 

The Track 505T. I have been 

using more Track balls lately 

and they have really been 

working well for me. 

Who drills your balls? My 

husband, Chris, even though 

he’s a Storm Staff member he 

still drills the Track balls for 

me. 

What is your all-time favorite 

bowling ball? I have been 

through so many, but I would 

have to say my first Track ball. 

The 920T, I shot a 300 with it. 

What is your average in the 

Wednesday NASCAR league? 

211. 

What is your all-time high 

average? This is my high. It has 

been going up every year. 

How long have you been 

bowling? About 37 years. My 

parents and whole family 

bowled in a league at Buckner 

Bowl and I started when I was 

10. It just took off from there. 

Who is your favorite pro 

bowler? Dick Weber, he had 

a good personality, great 

sportsmanship and was really 

cool. Very down to earth, and a 

great attitude. 

Most memorable bowling 

moment? My first 300. I didn’t 

even know I was shooting that, 

until the last ball. Each time it 

just gets more exciting. 

Tonya’s tip of the week: My 

husband Chris has been so 

supportive of my bowling and 

wants to help me get better. I 

am so appreciative of that. He 

taught me that, right before I 

throw the shot to think about 

keeping my feet slow, stay under 

the ball and follow though. 

It has helped me out quite a lot. 

Rob Hendrix 

We were unable to contact 

Rob Hendrix, this week’s high 

man. Rob posted a 268-268-296 

= 832 series in the Full House 

league at AMF Showplace 

Euless. We will try to get his 

spotlight for next week.

I know the readers of The 

Bowling News are bowling 

lovers, but I am sure that some 

of you are also rodeo fans. 

I recently went to my 

nephew Cutter’s house in 

Oklahoma to celebrate his fifth 

birthday. My brother-in-law 

is a champion team roper and 

my sister-in-law is a champion 

barrel racer. 

Like my bowling tournaments 

they too travel around to 

different cities and participate 

in rodeos. 

Although Cutter is only 

five he is already a champion 

dummy roper. Instead of roping 

an actual steer, kids rope a 

dummy steer from different 

distances. 

A month ago he won a 6 

and under roping competition 

to win his first buckle. He has 

also had his picture in the 

Super Looper magazine and 

newspaper multiple times. 

The key to his success is that 

unlike most kids his age, he 

practices by roping goats. 

At their house they have 

a pen and a make shift chute 

where he can rope the goats 

just like he would a steer. The 

goats are more difficult to rope, 

so by practicing with them 

makes roping steers much 

easier. 

In December he will be 

roping in the National Finals 

Rodeo in Las Vegas and on the 

way to the RPI I will be bowling 

in Reno, we are hoping to 

get a chance to watch him. 

And for all you ladies who 

love your cowboys you are 

going to have to get in line for 

this one because he already 

has a girlfriend. It seems that 

a young lady by the name of 

Miranda Lambert, is a neighbor 

of theirs and she has claimed 

him as her boyfriend. Better 

luck next time ladies. 

We are not far from the 

beginning of football season, 

but there is already some exciting 

controversy brewing. 

The Cincinnati Bengals, 

who already have the over the 

top Chad Ochocinco, have now 

gone out and added the most 

controversial player in the NFL, 

Terrell Owens to their wide 

receiving corps. 

Now if we take these two 

outrageously talented and entertaining 

receivers we should 

see some major fireworks this 

year. How well will they enjoy 

playing together? Will they 

argue who is the better of the 

two? 

By the end of the season I 

suspect that Owens will be on 

his best behavior, as he does 

with any new team, but the 

work ethic of these two may 

lead to Carson Palmer putting 

up some unbelievable numbers 

this year. 

I really think this may work 

out for Cincinnati and I think 

they may make a serious run at 

the AFC title. 

The Rangers continue to be 

red hot and as of today they 

hold an eight and a half game 

lead over the Oakland A’s and a 

nine game lead of the Angels. 

With Cliff Lee on board the 

pitching staff is now loaded 

and we all know that the 

infield is one of the best in 

baseball. The outfield is great 

too, so the question is, where 

are the weak links on this 

team. The only answers that 

I can come up with are the 

depth at the infield position 

and the Texas heat. 

Obviously there is nothing 

to do about the Texas heat, 

other than put up a giant shade 

over the stadium, but there is 

something they can do about 

the depth. 

With Ian Kinsler injured the 

Rangers have traded with the 

Marlins and the Nationals to 

acquire another first baseman 

and another second baseman. 

Although I like the gutsy 

moves the Rangers are making, 

I am also worried about 

playing with the chemistry the 

team already has. Chemistry is 

so important in baseball, so I 

hope it doesn’t change the one 

constant that this team has 

been successful with. 

The truth is that if they 

can handle this upcoming 

nine-game stretch against their 

entire division then I think 

we are looking at the division 

champs who will have a 

chance to bring DFW our first 

MLB championship. 

This week’s what is in 

Daceman’s DVD player is “Hot 

Tub Time Machine” starring 

John Cusack. 

The story is about a group of 

guys trying to relive the glory 

days by returning to their most 

memorable weekend as kids. 

The good times they remember 

are not all they thought they 

were, and the lure of being able 

to change the past leads them 

to make stupid decisions. The 

movie was very funny throughout, 

but the language was very 

strong, so keep the kiddies 

away from this one. I give this 

a three out of four stars for the 

excellent writing and casting of 

this movie.

Those Pesky Single 

Pin ‘Clusters’ 

Part II 

This month we’ll continue 

talking about single pin spares, 

what causes them, and how to 

not to leave them so often. 

The 6 Pin 

A 6 pin is usually the 

result of a high hit. The ball 

hits too much of the 3 sending 

it straight back, rather 

than sideways into the 6. An 

adjustment that causes the 

ball to hit less of the 3 pin is 

appropriate – more speed, less 

hand, change equipment, move 

inside. You have lots of choices. 


There are often two ways to 

leave some single pin spares. 

A ‘stone’ 7 (one of those ‘the 

breeze should have knocked 

it over’ shots), is caused by 

a high hit. The headpin goes 

straight back and its impact 

with the 2 causes that pin to 

rebound off the kickback plate 

to take the 4 but not the 7. 

A ‘slow’ 7, like the slow 4 

we talked about recently, is a 

light hit. The headpin is hit 

too thinly, sending it in front 

of the 2. The 2 falls backward, 

nicking the right edge of the 4, 

which is sent weakly into the 

channel rather than into the 7. 


This is usually the result of 

a shot that either causes the 5 

to fly over the 8 or drives the 5 

straight back. In other words, 

the ball hits the pocket but 

doesn’t deflect properly. It is 

too strong for those poor weak 

pins. You can change the angle 

of entry into the pocket by 

changing your rotation, going 

to a less aggressive coverstock, 

speeding up, or moving inside. 

Again, lots of choices. 

There is also a slow 8, 

which is usually accompanied 

by a very late falling 10 pin 

(almost an 8-10 split). This ball 

has hit weakly, deflecting too 

much. Make your get-the-ballinto-the-pocket-higher 

moves 

and you’ll be fine. 


Since the ball is supposed 

to take the 9 pin and it didn’t, 

where did the ball go? Unless 

you’re throwing a very light 

ball, it was left of the 9. This 

can be a frequent occurrence 

with the strong coverstocks 

and drilling patterns of today’s 

game. The ball drives too 

strongly through the pocket, 

leaving the deck so far left of 

the 9, it misses the pin entirely. 

You could move left, change 

hand positions, reduce your 

speed, or change to a less 

aggressive coverstock and/or 

layout. 


You must know which kind 

of 10 pin (ringing or weak) you 

are leaving in order to make 

the proper adjustment. A weak 

10 occurs because you hit too 

much of the 3 pin and too little 

of the headpin. This changes 

how the 3 hits the 6 and causes 

the 6 to go in front of the 10. It 

lands in the channel without 

enough speed to rebound 

into the 10. The 6 can also 

go in front of the 10, hit the 

kickback, and then go behind 

the 10, leaving it standing. 

Either way is a weak 10. The 

adjustment for this is usually a 

one board move to the outside. 

Although there are other 

adjustments you could make, 

this is the most common. 

A ringing 10 is a shot where 

the 6 pin whips around the 

base or neck of the 10 pin. 

Sometimes ringing 10 pins are 

a matter of speed – usually too 

much. Back off a bit. You could 

also move back on the approach. 

If you need to change 

your angle, do the usual 

things: move inside, change 

equipment, etc. 

Ringing 10’s are part of the 

game. Paying attention to the 

scoring pace is very important 

here. You don’t want to move 

off a 10 pin and wind up giving 

up the pocket. Walter Ray has 

more money and more titles 

than anyone on the planet 

because of all the 10 pins he 

leaves. He NEVER gives up the 

pocket. Neither should you. 

Well, there you have the 

whys of those single pin 

clusters. Standing pins are your 

friend. They clearly tell you 

what move to make to be sure 

they’re not standing up there 

next time.

BVL recognizes top 

proprietor contributions 

Five bowling proprietors and 

one local Bowling Proprietors’ 

Association left Bowl Expo 

in Las Vegas recently, each 

with their second consecutive 

Bowlers to Veterans Link 

(BVL) award, recognizing their 

outstanding support for the 

BVL cause during the 2008- 

2009 league season. 

These same award winners 

also took home identical 

honors for their donations 

during the previous 2007-2008 

season. 

“We are deeply indebted to 

these proprietors for leading 

the way for BVL,” commented 

BVL Board Chair Darlene 

Baker. “It was just three years 

ago when we called on America’s 

bowling centers to join 

with our league bowlers to take 

on the BVL effort. They have 

responded enthusiastically.” 

Maple Family Lanes, 

Brooklyn, NY, led the centeroriented 

contributions for the 

season with a total of $6,000. 

Proprietor John LaSpina 

has six centers in the New 

York City Metropolitan Area. 

Thunderbird Lanes followed 

very closely with $5,974.50 in 

donations. Thunderbird has 

three centers in the Philadelphia 

area that coordinated a 

BVL fund-raiser in conjunction

Mike Moscato held the hot 

hand last week at Brunswick 

Westcreek Lanes with a noteworthy

With A Twist series. 

Jamey Coggins led the gals 

with a outstanding 255-213-234

set.

with National Bowling Week. 

The third largest contribution 

was from the Leslie Goldberg 

Charity Fund for $5,000. Goldberg 

is the president of Bowl 

America, which has 19 centers 

along the East Coast. Operating 

five centers in Illinois, The Don 

Carter Lanes Group donated 

$3,519.50 to the BVL during 

last year’s season. Proprietor 

John Sommer conducted a “Heroes 

in Our Midst” campaign 

saluting veterans and active 

duty military in each of those 

communities. 

A special award was 

presented to Bowland Centers, 

with six centers in Southwest 

Florida. Proprietors Pat and 

Lisa Ciniello worked alongside 

their area USBC association to 

support the leagues’ efforts. 

This affiliation helped Southwest 

Florida USBC donate more 

than $11,000 to BVL during the 

2008-2009 league season. 

Another fruitful relationship 

resulted in a $2,215.98 contribution 

to the BVL: The Chicagoland 

Bowling Proprietors 

Association was recognized as 

the fifth highest contributor 

as part of that association’s 

annual “Beat the Champs” 

contest. BVL was named one of 

the charities for that event.

pro shop and has for years. 

Billy Joe gave the PBA 

tour a whirl years ago. 

“He is the best bowler and 

also the best electrician,” said 

Jeff. 

Jeff, as everybody else in 

the business, is aware of the 

decreasing number of league 

bowlers. 

He doesn’t think youth 

bowling is in such bad condition, 

and he points out that 

senior bowling is doing well. 

But he feels the game is 

losing customers in between 

those groups, 

What needs to be done? 

“Just keep working,” he 

said. “Keep looking.” 

Cathey was asked what he 

would do if he had more room 

at Red Bird. He said he had 

enough lanes right now. 

There is one thing he would 

really like to see, and that is 

for the proprietors to work 

together more. 

“We don’t ever do that any 

more, “he said.

Hamilton takes silver in 

girls singles at World 

Youth Chamionshps 

HELSINKI, FINLAND 

— Junior Team USA’s Brittni 

Hamilton of Webster, N.Y., 

earned the silver medal in girls 

singles July 25 in the opening 

event at the 2010 World Tenpin 

Bowling Association World 

Youth Championships. 

Hamilton’s silver-medal 

finish was the highest in any 

event at the World Youth 

Championships for the Junior 

Team USA girls since 2004. The 

three-time Junior Team USA 

member lost in the gold-medal 

match to Korea’s Yeon-Ju Kim, 

192-155. 

Yeon-Ju raced out to a 

commanding lead in the match, 

taking a 65-pin advantage after 

six frames and rolled to the 

title with ease at Tali Bowl. 

“I had a couple of shots 

early that I thought were good 

that just didn’t react like I 

thought they would and it cost 

me,” Hamilton said. “I kind of 

got lost in the beginning of the 

match, but I’m not disappointed 

at all. I know that medaling at 

all is a big accomplishment.” 

Hamilton advanced to the 

semifinals with a thrilling 

overtime victory against top 

seed Carmen Haandrikman of 

the Netherlands. Haandrikman 

needed just seven pins on her 

final shot to eliminate Hamil-

Hamilton finished tied for

against one another for medals. 

The event was about the 

gathering of friends statewide 

who have shared a profession, 

current and retired, and being 

able to step away for a few days 

from the stresses that their 

careers entail. 

“It’s a once a year family 

reunion for us,” said Macias on 

the event. “We are a very close 

knit brotherhood/sisterhood.” 

For the bowlers and their 

families, the once-a-year event 

is all about getting together, 

sharing stories of the past 

year and about their lives in 

general, and just having a great 

time and enjoying some good, 

clean competition. 

“It’s about the competing, 

the camaraderie, and time 

together,” added Macias. “It’s 

great because in our profession, 

you could be here today, gone 

tomorrow.” 

In all, 60 medals were 

awarded to the bowlers over 

the two-plus days of competition, 

with some standout 

multi medalists headlining the 

winners. 

Randy Cockrell of Houston 

was the big winner in division 

A, medaling in all four events, 

including gold in team and 

singles, and bronze in doubles 

and all-events. 

Event director Macias took 

home three silver medals in 

team, doubles and all-events. 

Cockrell’s teammate Lee 

Lorts of Houston also was a 

two-time medalist with gold in 

team and all-events. 

In division B, Mike Faulkenberry 

of Dallas also medaled 

in all four events, with gold in 

doubles, singles, and all-events, 

and a bronze in team. 

Trey Frazier of Fort Worth 

took home three medals, with 

silver medals in team and 

all-events, and a gold medal 

in the division C doubles with 

teammate Scott Cole. 

Division C was headlined by 

a few different bowlers during 

the competition. Jerome Gibson 

of Fort Worth won three medals, 

with gold in all-events, and 

bronze medals in doubles and 

team. 

Kerry Thomas of Plano, who 

bowls multiple leagues at AMF 

Lewisville, also won three 

medals, taking home silver in 

singles, doubles and all-events. 

Chuck Sawers of San Antonio 

also medaled three times, 

with bronze in team, singles 

and doubles.

won singles and all-events 

gold, and team and doubles 

bronze. 

Skyler Ainesworth, Clifton’s 

Fort Worth teammate, rounded 

out some of the big winners, 

with bronze medals in team, 

singles and all-events. 

It was another highly successful 

year for the competitors 

of the Texas Firefighter Olympics 

in the bowling events. 

The city of Lewisville and 

AMF Lewisville, in particular, 

played a big role in making 

that possible. 

“Things were great because 

of the city of Lewisville. There 

was so much for everyone 

and their families to do,” said 

Macias. “Smaller cities are 

tough because there is little to 

do outside of the competition 

venues.” 

“The bowling center was 

great,” Macias added. “Jeremiah, 

general manager, and 

his staff did a fantastic job and 

took great care of us.” 

The 29th Texas Firefighter 

Olympics is set to be held in 

July 17-22, 2011 in Round 

Rock, and firefighters statewide 

will get another chance to get 

together for some good fun 

competition and a new chance 

at bragging rights. 

For the United States, 

Andrew Koff shot 1,308, an 

average of 218, and settled 

for a top-10 finish in his first 

appearance at the World Youth 

Championships. The 18-yearold 

opened with games of 203, 

220 and 182 before hitting his 

stride and finishing with 248, 

220 and 235. 

“I started the first couple 

games really fast because 

this is a big tournament and 

I wanted to do my best; I lost 

sight of things,” Koff said. “The 

last three games, I calmed 

down and felt like I threw it 

really well. 

I’m looking forward to the 

remaining games we have in 

the tournament.” 

Craig Hanson finished 14th 

for the United States with 

1,296. Devin Bidwell was 77th 

with 1,148, and Jacob Peters 

took 78th with 1,145. 

Syimir Abdul Razak of 

Malaysia had the tournament’s 

first 300 game in the final 

game of his qualifying block. 

Razak finished in 48th place 

with 1,216.

and best way to 

reach people in 

bowling–”

Hattori and O’Brien win Teen Masters 

high school division titles 

RENO, NV — Zack Hattori 

of Las Vegas and Morgan 

O’Brien of Lomira, WI, won 

the high school boys and girls 

titles in the 14th annual Teen 

Masters at the National Bowling 

Stadium July 29. 

Hattori won a $4,000 

scholarship as high school 

boys winner while McKenzie 

Eaton of Wyoming, MI, earned 

$2,000 as runner-up. O’Brien 

won a $3,000 scholarship and 

Kaylee Magazine of Clearwater, 

FL, $1,500 as high school girls 

champion and runner-up, 

respectively. 

Hattori, who will be a senior 

at Silverado High School in Las 

Vegas this fall, defeated Eaton, 

4-2 (167-197, 236-216, 208-204, 

209-187, 229-248, 234-203) in 

the best-of-seven-game championship 

match. 

“I had a good line but the 

first game I wasn’t executing 

really well,” said Hattori, in his 

fourth Teen Masters. “It was 

hard for me to double because I 

couldn’t get the left lane down 

(long pattern.) I switched balls 

and got in more so that’s when 

I started making good shots 

and it started to come together. 

“I didn’t know much about 

McKenzie coming into this 

week but we were rooting for 

each other in the championship 

match and I just happened to 

come out on top.” 

O’Brien, who will be a 

senior at St. Marys Springs 

high school this fall, took 

advantage of an open frame by 

Magazine in the 10th frame 

of game seven to win the girls 

championship match, 4-3 (187- 

211, 158-193, 169-163, 221-180, 

216-186, 193-194, 181-175). 

O’Brien had a spare and strike 

in the 10th to clinch the final 

game. 

“She had me in the first 

two games,” said O’Brien in 

her third Teen Masters. “After 

that, I made an adjustment and 

a ball change and that made a 

big difference. I also saw how 

she was playing and I decided 

to adjust to use her line. 

“My coaches told me to not 

focus on beating my opponent 

but beating the pins so that’s 

what I did but my heart was 

still beating out of my chest.” 

In the 14-under division, 14year-old 

Greg Young of Viera, 

FL, captured the boys title with 

a 3-1 victory (202-194, 200- 

219, 226-203, 188-184) in the 

best-of-five-game championship 

match over Jeffrey Juarez of 

East Meadow, NY, to win a 

$1,200 scholarship. Juarez won 

$1,000. 

“I did not want to go into 

game five,” said Young, bowling 

in his first Teen Masters. 

“ I was struggling on the 

long pattern and the ball was 

checking up. I had some nerves 

and was glad to win it in game 

four.” 

In the girls 14-under title 

match, 13-year-old Ashley 

Dunn of Palmdale, CA, defeated 

Chevelle Holstein of Sparks, 

NV, 3-1 (191-171, 224-158, 

135-199, 195-146) for a $1,000 

scholarship. Holstein won $700 

for second place. 

“I’m very excited,” Dunn 

said. I got more confident as 

the week went on and that 

helped me. In the last match I 

had to switch my ball on the 

long pattern and move left on 

the short pattern and those 

moves got me to the pocket and 

get more carry.” 

In addition to competing 

for scholarship prizes, Teen 

Masters champions O’Brien 

and Hattori will join Danielle 

McEwan, Rockland, NY, and 

Mike Fujita, El Sobrante, CA, 

from the Collegiate Masters in 

receiving invitations to bowl 

alongside the best bowlers 

in the world in the 2010 PBA 

World Series of Bowling, Oct. 

24-Nov. 6, at South Point Bowling 

Center in Las Vegas. 

The Teen Masters was 

created by Gary Beck, founder 

of Killer B Promotions, in 1997 

and has provided young bowlers 

with more than $1 million 

in scholarships over a span of 

14 years.

Junior Team USA wins gold, silver in Boys 

Doubles at World Youth Championships 

HELSINKI, FINLAND — The 

United States boys doubles 

teams earned the gold and 

silver medals July 28 at the 

2010 World Tenpin Bowling 



Junior Team USA’s Craig 

Hanson and Andrew Koff won 

the gold medal by defeating 

teammates Devin Bidwell and 

Jake Peters, 428-426, in the 

championship match at Tali 

Bowl. Hanson shot 227 and 

Koff had 201, while Bidwell 

shot 222 and Peters fired 204. 

The United States is the only 

country in the history of the 

event to win both the gold and 

silver in the same year. It last 

happened in 1988 in Manila, 

Philippines, when the event 

was known as the International 

Youth Championships. 

“It was really relaxing, and 

we were just having fun out 

there doing our best,” Koff said. 

“We got both medals, that’s 

what we were out here for.” 

In the gold-medal match, 

Bidwell and Peters looked like 

they would be on their way to 

the title, leading by more than 

50 pins at the halfway point. 

But Hanson finished with six 

consecutive strikes and then 

Koff doubled in the 10th to give 

them the gold. 

“We never let ourselves get 

out of it mentally,” Hanson 

said. “We talked to each other 

and said that we needed to 

have a strong last half, make a 

good ball change, make good 

shots and hopefully that would 

get us the gold.” 

Even though they were 

bowling their teammates, 

Bidwell said both doubles 

teams wanted to come out on 

top. 

“Of course we wanted to 

win as a team, but it was still 

a doubles event, so we wanted 

to win it just as bad as they 

did,” Bidwell said. “It’s really 

cool to have both teams on 

top, though, and this gives us 

momentum heading into the 

team event.” 

In the semifinals, Hanson 

shot 182 and Koff had 198 as 

they took down top seed Korea, 

380-363. Ju-Young Kim shot 

185, while Seung-Hyeon Shin 

had 178 for Korea. 

Bidwell fired 194, while 

Peters had 192 as they knocked 

off Malaysia, 386-343. Aris 

Ardilla had 174, and Syimir 

Razak shot 169 for Malaysia.

Columbians take girls 

doubles gold at World 


HELSINKI, FINLAND — A 

pair of Colombian bowlers 

who compete collegiately in 

the United States won the girls 

doubles gold medal Tuesday at 

the 2010 World Tenpin Bowling 



Colombia’s Laura Fonnegra 

and Maria Jose Rodriguez 

teamed up to defeat Singapore’s 

Daphne Tan and New Hui Fen, 

481-473, to claim the top spot 

at Tali Bowl. The high finishers 

for Junior Team USA were Jenn 

Boisselle and Kristie Petravich, 

who took 11th. 

In the gold-medal match, 

Fonnegra, who bowls for 

Lindenwood, shot 259 and 

Rodriguez, who competes for 

Maryland Eastern Shore, shot 

222. Fen had 237, while Tan 

shot 236 for Singapore. 

“This means a lot, like a 

dream coming true, seriously,” 

Rodriguez said. “When you 

come to the World Championships, 

you want to win and 

making it real is unbelievable. 

I can’t explain it.” 

In the semifinals, the Colombians 

defeated Singapore’s 

second team of Shayna Ng and 

Wichita State bowler Jazreel 

Lane Laughter 

Tan, 412-392. The other Singaporean 

team took out Korea’s 

Yeon-Ju Kim and Moon-Jeong 

Kim, 456-414. The semifinals 

losers shared the bronze medal. 

For Junior Team USA, 

Petravich and Boisselle shot 

2,459, an average of 204.9, and 

missed making the semifinals 

by 96 pins. Petravich shot 

1,275, while Boisselle contributed 

1,184. 

The other U.S. pairing of 

Christine Bator and Brittni 

Hamilton finished in 13th place 

with 2,440. Bator paced the 

duo with 1,289, while Hamilton 

shot 1,162. 

In all-events, Latvia’s Diana 

Zavjalova leads with 2,656, 

an average of 221.3, with six 

games of team event remaining. 

Moon-Jeong is second at 

2,651. Petravich is the highest 

player for Junior Team USA in 

seventh place with 2,548. 

The top 16 players after 

18 games advance to Masters 

match play based on their 

all-events totals. 

Hamilton sits in 14th place 

with 2,482, and Bator is 16th 

with 2,473. Boisselle sits in 

20th place with 2,449.


JONES, PLUHOWSKI 


nine months out, plus I feel 

that the amount you pay to 

bowl the pro-am is affordable 

by all. There are so many 

prizes that you can win while 

you bowl, we added several 

great new sponsors this year, 

and of course all of the great 

pros that come bowl, all of 

these factors are the key to 

success,” Conners said. 

One of the really interesting 

traditions is that Donna never 

posts the roster for the tournament 

until the Friday before. 

“It’s a little game I play that 

adds a level of excitement. You 

don’t know who’s bowling 

until you show up, I normally 

start getting texts and emails 

about three weeks out wanting 

to know who’s bowling,” she 

said. 

Another treat for the bowlers 

is that every year they give 

away two flat screen TV’s via a 

free raffle to a male and female 

participant. Now how many 

tournaments have you seen do 

that? 

The tournament director is 

Jim Welch, who is paid with a 

12-pack of Diet Dr Pepper. Phil 

Perry runs the brackets and is 

paid with Crown and cigars. 

He must be the higher priced 

talent. 

“The tournament is not 

about the money. The money 

is big but the pride of winning 

is bigger. It’s not an easy 

tournament to win. The lanes 

are challenging and the field is 

strong, but that’s exactly why 

we had 82 entries this year,” 

said Conners. 

“He’s fun to bowl with, it’s 

a friendly competition we have 

so it stays light-hearted. I don’t 

ever beat him, but it’s ok,” said 

Pluhowsky of partner Tommy 

Photos from the Luci 

Bonneau Memorial 

Jones. 

“She makes the lane condition 

fair for all skill levels, 

because everyone comes out 

to bowl for this great cause. 

Donna does a great job for this 

event,” Jones said of Conners. 

The Jones-Pluhowsky duo 

dominated basically from the 

first game of qualifying and 

never relinquished the lead. 

“Tommy really bowled great 

throughout the tournament, 

and when we hit the bad pairs 

I think we grinded better 

than some of the others,” said 

Pluhowsky. 

The tandem won $7,000 for 

AMF Showplace Euless 

7:00 PM 

Saturday, August 28th 

first, plus another $4,000 for 

the Calcutta. 

Rounding out the top 12 

were Sean Rash-Liz Johnson, 

third; David Haynes-Carol Norman, 

fourth; defending champions 

Parker Bohn III-Carolyn 

Dorin-Ballard, fifth; Chris 

“Real Deal” Johnson-Stefanie

How do writers get their 

stories? 

You can attend specifically 

scheduled press conferences 

for special announcements or 

you can pursue a one-on-one 

interview. You can talk to the 

stars after they shoot in tournament 

play in a press room 

setting or catch a running star 

going to or going away from 

a competition. You can use 

the phone or any other type of 

communication. You can be 

polite or be a pest. 

But with all the ways, one 

of the most unique developed 

over the years at the Firestone 

Tournament of Champions, 

and the man most responsible 

was one of the most respected 

reporters of bowling in the 

history of the sport, a writer 

we lost on July 4, Dick Evans. 

Evans was the pied piper of 

setting up breakfast, lunch and 

dinner gatherings wherever 

there was a bowling gathering, 

meeting, tournament, convention, 

exhibition, presentation 

and just plain socializing. 

At the early Tournament of 

Champions happenings, Evans 

would get himself, me and 

John Jowdy to meet at unheard 

of early hours for breakfast, 

long prior to the rolling of 

the first ball of that day’s 

tournament action. Then Joe 

Lyou, Red Burnham and Steve 

Cruchon joined the crowd. 

Pretty soon Bud Fisher became 

a regular sand the one table we 

had reserved became two and

three and finally a separate 

banquet alcove was set up for 

the breakfast press boys. 

We welcomed bowlers in 

the tournament and soon Dick 

Weber and Johnny Petraglia 

became regulars and Champ 

Husted, dad of young star Dave 

Husted. Representatives of the 

sponsors, manufacturers and 

officials of all integers of the 

sport found their way to the 

breakfast free-for-alls and no 

subject was taboo. 

Everyone there was relaxed, 

maybe too much, and many a 

quote that shouldn’t have been 

uttered made the next day’s 

paper or next week’s bowling 

publication or next month’s 

bowling magazine. 

It was a hotbed of quips, 

quotes, insults, inside stuff and 

writers, competitors, sponsors, 

industry representatives and 

a lot of uninvited cousins and 

uncles joined the crowd and 

found it a show better than any 

Broadway hit. 

It wasn’t nasty or didn’t 

reveal every sad or forgettable 

experiences but many 

an attendee found some of 

his choice material common 

knowledge one way or another. 

Over the years, more 

than 100 of history’s greatest 

bowlers attended breakfast by 

Evans, Dutch treat. The most 

highly attended tournament by 

the media probably saw more 

than 200 writers, broadcasters 

and historians taking in one 

or all of the breakfast aggrega-

Three perfect generations 

Amarillo family shoots certified 300s, spanning almost two decades 

AMARILLO — Dustin 

Bowerman put the feather in 

the families cap in June after 

rolling his first certified 300 

game at Eastridge Lanes in 

Amarillo. 

Bowerman, the youngest of 

the family to roll a perfecto, 

shot his first 800 (813) series in 

December. 

Don Mansel, Bowerman’s 

granddad, got the ball rolling 

in the first generation with two 

300 games (1981/ 1991). 

Then Don’s daughter, Diane 

Bowerman Dobbins, kept it 

going with hers in 1995. 

Along came her brother 

Donald Duane Mansel in 2001 

rolling his 300. 

All of the Mansel family has 

worked in the bowling industry 

for many years in the Amarillo 

area.

Tribolet makes big debut 

in adult leagues 

SAN ANGELO — Former 

youth bowler Travis Tribolet 

made a big splash in the adult 

league on July 5. 

Tribolet had games of 248, 

300 and 248 for his first perfect 

game and his highest series 

ever, a 706. 

Tribolet is consistently averaging 

200-plus in two leagues. 

He is an avid bowler and hopes 

to turn pro someday. 

Reno to host USBC Open and 

Women’s Championships in 

2013 and 2014 

For the first time in history, 

the United States Bowling Congress 

will bring the USBC Open 

and Women’s Championships 

to the same city simultaneously 

when Reno, NV, hosts both 

events in 2013 and 2014. 

Plans call for the Open 

Championships to be held 

in the National Bowling 

Stadium, while the Women’s 

Championships will take place 

in a custom-built arena inside 

the Reno-Sparks Convention 

Center. USBC will install 

dozens of lanes and the largest 

indoor mobile scoreboard in 

the world at the convention 

center continuing the spectacular 

feel bowlers expect. The 

convention-center setting first 

was introduced to the Women’s 

Championships at the 2010 

event in El Paso. 

“Hosting USBC’s two largest 

championships in the same 

city will create great new 

opportunities and experiences 

for our bowlers,” USBC execu- 

tive director Stu Upson said. 

“We want families to have 

the option of traveling to the 

national tournaments together, 

but we also respect the need 

to preserve the tradition of 

separate tournaments.” 

USBC plans to develop 

additional events that will 

coincide with the two main 

tournaments in Reno. These 

new events will potentially 

involve mixed teams and youth 

entry options. The lanes of the 

Women’s Championships arena 

will remain in the Reno-Sparks 

Convention Center between the 

2013 and 2014 tournaments, 

saving construction resources 

and allowing for greater 

flexibility in scheduling new 

events. 

USBC received bids from 

several cities interested in 

hosting the Open and Women’s 


The 2013 Open Championships

to be at the National Bowling

Stadium, allowing Reno to provide 

a natural fit for bringing 

both events to the same city by 

offering two arena settings for 

a multi-year agreement. Now 

there will be greater opportunities 

for couples who might only 

be able to afford one bowling 

trip a year to travel together 

and both have events to enjoy. 

“Reno is a fantastic family 

destination and our aim is to 

develop a reason for every type 

of bowler to visit there in 2013 

and 2014,” Upson said. “Our 

partners in Reno have a great 

track record of creating a firstclass 

experience for bowlers 

and they have done it again by 

committing to a second championship 

venue.” 

Historically, Reno has 

proven to be a popular destination 

for tournament bowlers. 

The Open Championships has 

averaged more than 80,000 

bowlers, while the Women’s 

Championships has averaged 

more than 60,000 bowlers in 

Reno host years since 1995. 

“We’re just tickled to have 

these two prestigious bowling 

tournaments in the biggest 

little city,” Reno Mayor Bob 

Cashell said. “I just know 

they’ll love visiting Reno and 

competing at the National 

Bowling Stadium – it’s the 

only facility of its kind in the 

world.” 

Looking ahead to 2013, 

USBC plans to investigate 

new ideas for the Open and 

Women’s Championships, 

including potential adjustments 

of incentive programs, lane 

conditions, squad schedules, 

price structure and entry 

process. Hosting two major 

events in one city should allow 

for improved staffing and better 

customer service. The focus 

will be on providing the best 

possible experience for bowlers 

in Reno and attracting more 

participants to USBC’s national 

tournaments.

Dr. Thomas Ripp and his six

McKinney. He is an eye, ear

the owners have been pleased 

with some of the non-sanctioned 

bowling it has had, 

Coddington said he saw 

enough to make him believe 

the bowlers are ready. Coddington 

said Rockwall citizens have 

been very supportive. 

The owners picked Rockwall 

for the center because they 

found there was a shortage 

of family entertainment in 

Rockwall. 

The center has 24 lanes, and
