COFFEE WINS $ 1,500 ON DUAL LANE PATTERN Dale Coffee, former Cleveland Storm bowling stand-out made the trip from Colorado worthwhile, winning $ 1,500 for beating early leader, Pete Sheridan by twenty pins in the championship match at Tenpins & More on Sunday. The scores of 213 to 193 did not reflect the high scoring pace each had set in the games leading up to the final. Sheridan averaged over 237, while Coffee carded 222 over eight games. Forty-nine entrants were whittled down to twenty then four for the grand final. Los Alamos’ Michael DeVore (who drives down every week for league play at the Rio Rancho Center) opened with a win 245-211 over local Dennis Helmick, who finished fourth. DeVore shot 238 next but lost to Sheridan by ten pins (248) leading into the last match. Other area bowlers who cashed included Justin Medina 6th, Zach Harvey 7th, Trent Irwin 8th and Jake Gill 10th, along with Gabe Maestas 5th from Colorado Springs and Joseph Paterson 9th from Socorro.

Firstly, a record one hundred teams contested the Saturday doubles segment, then a record 87 bowled the singles event Sunday. As well, for the first time in over 25 years, two bowlers, Braden Wearly and Kaden Fleming each won $ 1,000 scholarships for knocking down 32 pins in the Powerbowl, when each bowled strike, seven pins then five pins to the thrill of a large crowd. In the doubles, Garrett Fetty and Diego Lujan of Colorado beat top seeds, Nicco Baccocini and Jacob Gill 214-201 in the scratch final while Lauren Jaramillo and Xavier Provencher shot 256-195 over runners-up, Gianna Panetta and Naomi Kannady. Jaxon Witt of Lubbock, who won the Youth New Mexico Open at Tenpins & More last September put together 267 and 245 to blitz his opponents Camden Coleman 194 then Rowdy Twarogowski 185 for the scratch win. Layne Warner from Northern New Mexico overwhelmed Justin Wolf with a 253 game to capture his first JBT title. A rare dual 300 game sighting occurred in Friday’s session of the “Rancho Runners” League when both Joe LaRosa and Anthony Subia fired perfect games of 300, consisting of twelve consecutive strikes Center manager, Steve Mackie said there had only been two other times in his 26 years at the Center when there were two 300’s bowled on the same night in the same bowling league.
