Shenaniganz<br />
making<br />
transition to<br />
league bowling<br />
By Emil Williams Jr.<br />
Staff Writer<br />
Laser tag. Check. Arcade.<br />
Check. Black light mini-golf.<br />
Check. Indoor go-karts. Check.<br />
All these items are what you<br />
may find at an amusement<br />
park, but these attractions can<br />
all be found at Shenaniganz.<br />
Shenaniganz, which opened in<br />
December of 2008, is a Family-fun<br />
Entertainment center in<br />
Rockwall, Texas that includes<br />
the aforementioned amenities<br />
as well as Rozie’s Grill, a fullservice<br />
restaurant, rock climbing,<br />
billiards, shuffleboard and<br />
bowling. But it’s the bowling<br />
that has gone full-circle amidst<br />
all the fun.<br />
Shenaniganz is owned by<br />
the Ripp family and run by the<br />
three oldest brothers who serve<br />
as managing partners. Before<br />
opening Shenaniganz, the Ripp<br />
family researched some of the<br />
best bowling/entertainment<br />
venues across the country<br />
before deciding to open their<br />
business. One of those brothers<br />
is Parker Coddington, who has<br />
always remembered his father’s<br />
words.<br />
“Our dad is a physician<br />
and he always preached to us<br />
about working for yourself,”<br />
Coddington said. “Our family<br />
is very competitive with<br />
everything including games, so<br />
we wanted to open a business<br />
where family and fun would be<br />
included.”<br />
Coddington didn’t have a<br />
lot of experience within the<br />
bowling industry, but knew the<br />
center was missing something.<br />
It wasn’t long before he decided<br />
to take on the challenge of<br />
adding league bowling to what<br />
is not your typical bowling<br />
center. However, there were<br />
reasons why the family waited<br />
before adding leagues.<br />
“First of all our experience<br />
was very limited,” Coddington<br />
said. “We didn’t know much<br />
about the industry and we<br />
wanted to wait, get our feet<br />
wet, and gain some experience<br />
before we felt the time was<br />
right to introduce league bowling.<br />
We wanted to do it the<br />
right way. Our first sanctioned<br />

O’Neill threw five strikes in a<br />

Chris Castro<br />
This week’s high man is<br />
Chris Castro with a 277-269-<br />
289 for an 835 series at AMF<br />
Garland Lanes. Chris has managed<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Bowling</strong> Shops Pros<br />
shop at AMF Garland for the<br />
last 5 years. He is also married<br />
to Tonjah, last week’s women’s’<br />
Spotlight, so good bowling<br />
and lots of strikes runs in this<br />
family.<br />
What is your high series? 868<br />
at AMF Desoto, I have shot 30<br />
800’s and have 9 this season.<br />
How many 300’s have you<br />
bowled? 63<br />
Thoughts on your big night?<br />
I was actually a little tired but<br />
really focused. I bowl in this<br />
Friday league with my wife,<br />
so I know that I need to bowl<br />
good. I owe a lot of the credit<br />
for my success to her; she is<br />
very supportive of my bowling.<br />
I need to get her out there<br />
bowling more tournaments.<br />
What ball did you throw?<br />
<strong>The</strong> Storm Reign Supreme, this<br />
has been my go-to ball, and it<br />
helps to be on the Storm staff.<br />
It is a very predictable ball that<br />
is easy to read; I have more<br />
confidence in that ball than<br />
any ball I throw.<br />
Who drills your balls? I do,<br />
I have been in the Pro Shop<br />
business for almost 20 years, I<br />
manage the pro shop at AMF<br />
Garland<br />
What is your all-time<br />
favorite bowling ball? <strong>The</strong> Storm<br />
El Nino, that was the ball I shot<br />
the 868 with. I actually got the<br />
ball from Kelly Ray, he didn’t<br />
like it, so I slugged the thumb<br />
and took it from there.<br />
What is your average in this<br />
league? 241<br />
What is your all-time high<br />
average? High book average is<br />
235 at AMF Desoto in 1998.<br />
How long have you been<br />
bowling? Since I was 14 and I’m<br />
40 now, so quite a few years.<br />
My mom and dad were big<br />
bowlers; my mother actually<br />
had the high female series in<br />
Japan in the 60’s with a 781.<br />
My dad was in the military and<br />
I was born in Japan.<br />
Who is your favorite pro<br />
bowler? I would have to go with<br />
Jason Couch, I love the way he<br />
throws the ball.<br />
Most memorable bowling<br />
moment? When I won my first<br />
Junior tournament in Virginia,<br />
it was a 5-day event that was<br />
held in five different houses.<br />
I was so nervous in the final<br />
match, you could hear my<br />
knees knocking, I had to strike<br />
in the tenth to win the match,<br />
THE BOWLING NEWS | Thursday, December 16, 2010 | Page 3<br />
and I did, but I was so nervous<br />
I’m not sure how I did.<br />
Chris’s tip of the week: Make<br />
sure that you have a nice loose<br />
arm-swing. <strong>The</strong> key is to make<br />
sure that the ball comes off<br />
your hand free and easy. If it<br />
does you will see the ball roll<br />
much better and have much<br />

O’NEILL GAINS THIRD<br />
Continued from Page 1<br />
been O’Neill’s strong suit.<br />
In fact, it took him a little<br />
over four years and a dozen<br />
unsuccessful television<br />
appearances before his<br />
breakthrough victory in the<br />
2009 Chameleon Championship<br />
in Allen Park, MI.<br />
“When I make a TV show<br />
now, I have a better idea of<br />
what to expect,” O’Neill said.<br />
“Today I knew the other guys<br />
were going to try to hook the<br />
lanes a lot, so I decided to do<br />
just the opposite, and it wound<br />
up perfect.<br />
“When your opponents give<br />
you an opening, you have to<br />
put them on their heels. You<br />
have to dig deep and throw<br />
a double, and not let them get<br />
back into the match. That’s<br />
something I wasn’t able to do<br />
before. I’d get too excited and<br />
throw the ball through the<br />
break point and leave a 2-8-10.<br />
So I’ve learned to gear down,<br />
take a deep breath.<br />
“It was a matter of getting<br />
used to the TV environment,”<br />
he said. “Before, I’d wonder<br />
if it was going to be my<br />
last show, that I had to win<br />
because I might never make<br />
another telecast. But you can’t<br />
bowl like that. Now I figure<br />
I’ll have 100 more times like<br />
this. I bowl a lot smarter.<br />
Getting that first title is huge.<br />
Even a guy like Pete (Weber),<br />
who has a million titles, has<br />
struggled of late. No matter<br />
where you are in your career,<br />
it’s going to happen.<br />
“A year ago I had no titles<br />
and I kept putting pressure<br />
on myself,” O’Neill continued.<br />
“Now I have three. It’s pretty<br />
cool. But the one I want<br />
to win is the PBA World<br />
Championship. Everyone wants<br />
to win majors, and winning<br />
that one would put me in a<br />
good place in the Player of the<br />
Year race.<br />
“Player of the Year is a<br />
huge goal for me, especially<br />
after coming so close last year.<br />
Chris Barnes and Tommy<br />
Jones actually came up with<br />
a nickname for me last year:<br />
“Nice Run.” <strong>The</strong>y called me<br />
that for about six months, so<br />
I need to put that nickname to<br />
rest.”<br />
During the World Series<br />
of <strong>Bowling</strong>, O’Neill qualified<br />
among the top 16 for match<br />
play in four of the five “animal<br />
pattern” segments, and earned<br />
the No. 1 stepladder position for<br />
the PBA World Championship<br />
finals which will be televised<br />
live on ESPN2 and ESPN on<br />
Jan. 14, 15 and 16 from South<br />
Point <strong>Bowling</strong> Center. He also<br />
qualified for the stepladder finals<br />
in the Scorpion Championship,<br />
which airs on ESPN on Dec. 19,<br />
and as a member of the United<br />
States team for the USA vs. <strong>The</strong><br />
World telecast on Jan. 9.<br />

Sunset view from restaurant overlooking San Jose.<br />
Costa Rica’s beautiful,<br />
but a bit scary<br />
Editor’ Note: Former<br />
<strong>Bowling</strong> <strong>News</strong> feature editor<br />
Jim Woodruff recently moved to<br />
Costa Rica to live with his son<br />
Kenny and granddaugher Leigh<br />
Ann, 25. Here, he tells of his<br />
early experiences and thoughts<br />
about his new Central America<br />
home.<br />
By Jim Woodruff<br />
My recent trip to Costa Rica<br />
gave me the biggest scare of<br />
my life, or awfully close to it.<br />
Kenny, his daughter Leigh<br />
Ann and I had a flight to San<br />
Jose at 4 p.m. on a Sunday<br />
afternoon. We arrived at D-FW<br />
in plenty of time. But there was<br />
a check-in baggage problem.<br />
Kenny thought he had<br />
plenty of time until he realized<br />
FREE<br />
he only had 35<br />
ninutes or so. It<br />
was panic time.<br />
Kenny had to<br />
run with a large<br />
bag to turn in his<br />
rent car and go<br />
through security.<br />
He probably had Jim Woodruff<br />
never run that<br />
far, that fast, there was no<br />
way he was going to make it, I<br />
thought.<br />
Meanwhile, I had to board,<br />
because of the baggage woes,<br />
Leigh Ann could not board<br />
without Kenny.<br />
It was nearing take-off, and<br />
Leigh Ann and Kenny were not<br />
there, She was told the plane<br />
waits for nobody. Only seconds<br />

were left.<br />
I could imagine what I<br />
would do if I went to Costa<br />
Rica by myself. What could I<br />
possibly do?<br />
But I was saved by the bell.<br />
Kenny miraculously made it<br />
seconds before they closed the<br />
door. I will never know how he<br />
did it.<br />
It was the worst<br />
predicament I have ever been<br />
involved in. i wanted my<br />
mommy.<br />
I figured things could not<br />
get worse, but they did,a week<br />
later, several people not too<br />
far from us were killed in a<br />
mudslide. <strong>The</strong>y had been told<br />
to get the hell out of there, but<br />
they refused to leave, the heavy<br />
rains messed up our TV and<br />
electricity.<br />
Things are getting much<br />
better. You can’t imagine the<br />
majestic beauty of San Jose<br />
with the clouds resting on the<br />
mountain tops.<br />
Everything is so green with<br />
picture post card card beauty.<br />
Traffic is unbelievable, all<br />
the streets are narrow with an<br />
abundance of pot-holes, all the<br />
drivers honk all the time, at<br />
what I will never know. You<br />
could not pay me enough to try<br />
to drive here.<br />
It is amazing how few<br />
accidents they have. Very few,<br />
and there are about as many<br />
motorcycles as cars.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir malls are much like<br />
ours. Except they are busier.<br />
What really catches your<br />
eye, except for the beauty of<br />
the place, is that each shop<br />
provides its own security, and<br />
each guard has his own gun.<br />
Loaded, and I would bet he<br />
knows how to use it.<br />
SHENANIGANZ MAKING<br />
Continued from Page 1<br />
league began in February.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> family knew they<br />
needed someone to help them<br />
create their league base and<br />
help them through the transition<br />
period. <strong>The</strong>y decided to<br />
partner with Randy Harris.<br />
Harris who brings over 35<br />
years of bowling experience<br />
in the Dallas/ Fort Worth area<br />
to his new position as league<br />
director for Shenaniganz, and<br />
has spent many valuable years<br />
as a league director for AMF.<br />
Harris has several goals in<br />
mind for the league program at<br />
Shenaniganz, beginning with<br />
the youth program which is<br />
very important.<br />
“We definitely want to get<br />
our youth program up and<br />
running,” Harris said. “<strong>The</strong><br />
youth bowlers will be the next<br />
adult bowlers. <strong>The</strong> youth are<br />
very excited, and we also are<br />
looking at the possibility of<br />
holding high school bowling<br />
matches here as well.”<br />
To get a feel for how their<br />
efforts would take shape,<br />
Shenaniganz have and will<br />
continue to host small tournaments<br />
to gauge what their<br />
bowlers want and need. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
held a nine-pin no-tap tournament<br />
during Thanksgiving<br />
and also plan to hold a scratch<br />
marathon tournament, youth<br />
10 YEARS AGO<br />

roost at DC West with 820….Al Crandall 811 at AMF Hurst…Terry<br />

Richey somehow shoots 677 at Bigtown….<br />
scholarship tournament,<br />
one-ball tournament, a senior<br />
tournament and a ladies<br />
tournament. By September,<br />
Harris would like to have six<br />
to eight leagues including<br />
youth, scratch, mixed, men and<br />
women.<br />
“We are in the process of<br />
hosting a couple tournaments,”<br />
said Harris, who is also<br />
looking to start adult leagues<br />
during “primetime”. We want<br />
to get regular bowlers and<br />
experienced league bowlers in<br />
the building to see the center<br />
and what it has to offer. I<br />
would like to have 400 league<br />
bowlers next season.”<br />
Along with the many<br />
tournaments on-deck, they<br />
are also looking to build short<br />
season, small leagues that may<br />
carry over into the summer<br />
months to gauge participation.<br />
And with the closing of<br />
Big Town and Jupiter near<br />
Rockwall, Texas, the needs<br />
of league bowlers have risen<br />
and Shenaniganz is open for<br />
business.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are also looking<br />
at the possibility of several<br />
benefit packages and promotions<br />
for league bowlers.<br />
Coddington has already begun<br />
to incorporate some of their<br />
brainstorming ideas during<br />
Shenaniganz’s Tuesday night<br />
league. In the weeks leading<br />
up to Thanksgiving, bowlers<br />
that rolled strikes in the third,<br />
sixth and ninth frames during<br />
their second game received a<br />
free turkey.<br />
Other potential league<br />
promotions and benefits<br />
include the mystery score<br />
pot, strike pot tickets and the<br />
plinko game. <strong>The</strong>re is also the<br />
possibility of a children’s care<br />
package that may include ride<br />
discounts for children who<br />
come to the center with their<br />
parents during league.<br />
“One of our goals is to<br />
improve the league experience<br />
beyond what you see on the<br />
surface,” Coddington said.<br />
“League bowlers bring their<br />
families along with them. At<br />
Shenaniganz, they have the<br />
opportunity to eat together<br />
if they choose, and there are<br />
other options for the kids while<br />
the parents bowl.”<br />
While the blueprint has<br />
been mapped out, Harris<br />
knows that this will be a work<br />
in progress.<br />
“I am very confident that<br />
we will succeed,” Harris said.<br />
“We must make sure we stay<br />
committed long-term and work<br />
through our commitment. I<br />
have confident that we will<br />
bring in bowlers and it will<br />
take the same effort to retain<br />
them.”

World Champion! When you<br />
hear that term you immediately<br />
think about the New York<br />
Yankees, the Dallas Cowboys,<br />
Los Angeles Lakers, and now<br />
Cutter Cain!<br />
Who is Cutter Cain? Well<br />
he is my five year old nephew<br />
who just won the 2010 World<br />
Championship of Dummy Roping<br />
in the 5 and under division<br />
in Las Vegas last weekend.<br />
I had not had a chance to<br />
watch him compete so when it<br />
worked out where I was going<br />
to Reno for the PBA Regional<br />
RPI tournament the same<br />
weekend it was a no brainer<br />
that we would divert south for<br />
a couple of extra days.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re were over 80 other<br />
kids competing and by the end<br />
of the 4th round of sudden<br />
death it was down to 3 of the<br />
little wranglers.<br />
In the sudden death portion<br />
the kids had to rope full size<br />
horns from 6 feet away. To<br />
make it more difficult they had<br />
to rope “slick horns” which<br />
means you must rope the horns<br />
only, and not the head.<br />
Cutter nailed it and was<br />
then crowned World Champion.<br />
For his winning he won a<br />
brand new saddle, belt buckle,<br />
vest, ball cap, and several new<br />
ropes.<br />
Since mom and dad are both<br />
champions as well I would assume<br />
we will be watching him<br />
for many years to come.<br />
As I sit here in Las Vegas I<br />
am getting ready for the biggest<br />
tournament of the year for me.<br />
<strong>The</strong> PBA Regional Players<br />
Invitational is the Super Bowl<br />
for the Southwest Region. <strong>The</strong><br />
top 25 point leaders from each<br />
region are invited to the tournament,<br />
and the top 5 receive<br />
airfare and accommodations at<br />
the Sands Regency in Reno as<br />
well as an automatic entry in<br />
to the RPI Tour Exemptions.<br />
<strong>The</strong> way it will work is<br />
seven players who have paid<br />
the extra entry and who finish<br />
in the top 16 will receive the<br />
PBA Tour exemptions.<br />
I feel like I have had a good<br />
year, but I still did not accomplish<br />
my goal of shooting a 300<br />
and getting the coveted PBA<br />
300 ring. A ringing 10 pin in<br />
Colorado for 299 was as close<br />
as I got.<br />
I did reach my goal of finishing<br />
in the top 5, but so far I<br />
have not won a tournament as<br />
a member so I still don’t have<br />
the banner yet.<br />
I would like to congratulate<br />
Chris Hibbitts II for again leading<br />
the RPI and Bowler of the<br />
Year points for the Southwest<br />
Region.<br />
I really think he deserves<br />

the Player of the Year title even<br />
without a win this year. I just<br />
wish I had a vote!<br />
My final topic of 2010 will<br />
be the latest disaster of the<br />
dogs.<br />
Since my neighbor continued<br />
to complain I had to start<br />
keeping the dogs inside. If you<br />
have seen my couch you would<br />
understand just how risky this<br />
is.<br />
Lexi had been doing great<br />
for several days, but just when<br />
we thought we were in the<br />
clear I came home from work<br />
and Lexi decided to have<br />
Christmas a little early.<br />
She ripped open one of the<br />
gifts that my wife searched for<br />
all over town for her friend and<br />
Lexi chewed them up.<br />
I hated to make that phone<br />
call to my wife, but to my<br />
surprise she handled better<br />
than expected.<br />
So we purchased another<br />
metal crate and were going to<br />
try and contain her. On the<br />
third day of escaping from the<br />
crate I decided that I would<br />
completely zip tie and chain<br />
the entire gate.<br />
To my surprise I got home<br />
that day ready to celebrate<br />
victory, but she was right there<br />
at the door to greet me.<br />
She not only escaped, but<br />
she broke the side of the crate<br />
that didn’t even have a door.<br />
I literally have no idea how<br />
to contain her, and have no<br />
idea what the next steps are.<br />
Since this is the final article<br />
of the year I just want to say<br />
how much I have enjoyed<br />
sharing my opinions and<br />
stories with all of you as this<br />
concludes an entire calendar<br />
year of articles.<br />
You may like them or you<br />
may not, but hopefully they are<br />
entertaining.<br />
Of course if you don’t<br />
like them then you probably<br />
aren’t reading this far down<br />
anyway. But I do want to wish<br />
all of you and your families a<br />
happy holiday season, and safe<br />
travels to wherever you may be<br />
heading.<br />

PBA Spare Shots:<br />
New “Arsenal” feature<br />
on ESPN telecasts<br />
explains players’ ball<br />
strategies<br />
<strong>The</strong> Professional Bowlers<br />
Association’s ESPN telecasts<br />
from the World Series of<br />
<strong>Bowling</strong> have unveiled a new<br />
“Arsenal” feature to help viewers<br />
understand players’ bowling<br />
ball selection strategies.<br />
During the practice session<br />
of each PBA Tour telecast, the<br />
name of each bowling ball<br />
model a given player is using<br />
is documented and assigned a<br />
“hook rating number” between<br />
1 and 10, with 10 being the<br />
ball that will hook the most.<br />
During the actual competition,<br />
a graphic will appear for each<br />
player, with the ball he is<br />
currently using and its “hook<br />
rating number” highlighted.<br />
“Reporting on every player’s<br />
bowling ball arsenal and<br />
attaching a hook rating to each<br />
of the balls is one of the most<br />
significant enhancements to<br />
this year’s PBA telecasts,” said<br />
PBA Deputy Commissioner<br />
Tom Clark. “By outlining and<br />
describing the players’ equipment<br />
alternatives, the feature<br />
not only lets the fans at home<br />
inside the players’ bowling<br />
bags, but helps them better<br />
understand the reasons behind<br />
the critical decisions made on<br />
every show.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> “Arsenal” feature also<br />
provides color analyst Randy<br />
Pedersen with a reference point<br />
when a player changes from<br />
an aggressive ball to one that<br />
hooks less, or vice versa, and<br />
makes that transition easier<br />
for a viewer to understand.<br />
