Old Friend Does Well...

Check out bowl.com to see how our old friend Jenn Boisselle has done:

"BOGOTA, Colombia - The Junior Team USA girls won its third gold medal in as many events Wednesday night, claiming the trios title, while the boys settled for the trios silver medal at the 2009 Pan American Bowling Confederation Youth Championships.

The United States trio of Jenn Boisselle, Kristie Petravich and Christine Bator earned the gold medal with a six-game total of 3,765, topping host Colombia by 102 pins.

Junior Team USA's girls, who have already claimed the singles and doubles gold medals, led the Colombians by 140 pins heading into the final game and held off a final push to earn the gold.

"All of our nerves started to come back that last game," Boisselle said. "We saw the Colombians start stringing strikes, so we were definitely nervous. We just had to bowl our game and it worked out for us."

Boisselle led the group with a 1,309 individual total, an average of better than 218 per game. Petravich added 1,236, while Bator shot 1,220."

Jenn's a "service brat". She bowled with us the year her family was stationed in New England. We all missed her when they transferred to Florida. She is now bowling there for College.

Rebekah Finishes 2nd in USBC Clash of Champions!!

According to USBC Communications:   

Chris Barnes, who earned his way into the Clash by being the 2007-08 Professional Bowlers Association Player of the Year, defeated collegiate bowler Rebekah Diers of Kingston, N.Y., in the man versus woman title match 257-207 Thursday at the Reno Events Center.
The victory didn't come easy for Barnes, however, as Diers, who bowls collegiately at McKendree, put him on his heels early in the match. Diers opened the game with four consecutive strikes before leaving the 2-4-10 split and converting it. In the seventh frame, however, she left the 4-6-7-10 split to effectively end her upset bid.

Barnes, meanwhile, started with a strike and a spare before rattling off six consecutive strikes, one of which was a Brooklyn. Needing a mark in the final frame to win, Barnes crushed the pocket for a strike.

Barnes took home $50,000 for his victory, while Diers earned $25,000 for finishing second. It was an experience Diers said she will never forget. In the semifinals, Diers eliminated Liz Johnson of Cheektowaga, N.Y.

No Outside Food Allowed at Striker's East

The management of Striker's East has asked me to remind all bowlers and parents that they have a nice snack bar and they do NOT ALLOW OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINK in the center.

Last year some folks that were asked to dispose of their outside food evidently got mad and threw it at the center's door windows. Such behavior will not be tolerated by our organization. Anyone caught behaving in such a manner will be banned from future participation in the tour.
