JBT-NeJST Double Header Weekend

Norwich Bowling Center was the hub of the JBT-NeJST Doubleheader weekend. The JBT tournament took place Saturday. Any bowler in the JBT tournament was given a $5 discount from their entry into the NeJST tournament on Sunday. Twenty bowlers took advantage of their discount.

Chris Larson, a former JBT bowler and owner of the center's pro shop, dressed the lanes for us with the pattern used at the Masters. It was indeed a challenge for our bowlers, only two managed to qualify with averages of 200 - Kyle Rasmussen (CT) and Ali Dihmes (CT).

In the Collegiate Boys Division (ages 18-21) step-ladder Josh Grabiec (CT), a bowler for Western New England College, defeated Tim Brown (CT) 212-195 and Jonathan Kalbfus (NY) 212-184. Then he sqeaked by Ryan Evans (MA) 174-173 only to be defeated for the gold medal by Ali Dihmes 193-211.

Due to the size of the Major Boys Division (ages 15-17), eight bowlers advanced. Those qualifying 5th thru 8th bowled a one game match with the victor getting the chance to continue up the step-ladder. Steve Stahursky (CT) was the victor. He then defeated Shane Fleury (VT) 184-177. Cody Daniels (NY) def. Steve 209-170, and Ryan Graywacz (CT) 182-167, and Kyle Rasmussen (CT) 200-170 to win his first NeJST gold.

In the Prep Division (ages 11 and under) Nick Sauve (MA) defeated Tyler Bartee 170-140 only to be def. in turn by Cory Bellisle (CT) 201-195. Cory then defeated Jadee Scott-Jones 186-177 and Ross Whitehead (NY) 178-131 to win the gold in his first NeJST outing.

The Northeast Junior Scratch Tour held their 15th tournament of the current season at Dover Bowling Center, Dover, NH. This was our first stop at the center. The management was terrific. They had agreed to give us a sport shot. And they were very accomodating. Unfortunately the turn out wasn't as good as we had hoped. In adding additional tournaments in VT and NH this year, we had hoped to encourage additional participation by bowlers from those states. There were only two (2) New Hamphire bowlers competing in this event. We also had bowlers from MA, NY, and CT. With that being said...

Ryan Evans (MA) won the Collegiate Boys gold medal. Ali Dihmes (CT) won silver. Russell Hagan (NH) won bronze.

Anthony Swenson (MA) won the Prep gold. Silver went to Nicholas Sauve (MA). Bronze to Jackie Evans (MA).

David Rice (VT), with a nice 1,338 (the high qualifying series of the day), finished first in the Major Boys Division. Placing second was Jason Brunelle (MA). And placing third, in his first NeJST, was Mike Fecteau (NH).

Bowling unopposed were Caitlin McCaw (CT) in the Girls Division, Jeremy Janusz (NY) in the Junior Boys Division, and Jessica Evans (MA) in the Junior Girls Division.
