United States, Korea Win Masters at 2018 World Youth Championships
ALLEN PARK, Mich. - Cortez
Schenck of Phoenix ended Junior
Team USA's run at the 2018
World Bowling Youth
Championships in memorable
fashion, claiming the Masters
gold medal at Thunderbowl
Lanes.
The girls title went to Korea's
Lee Jungmin, who defeated her
teammate Son Hyeonji in the
championship match.
Schenck, a 19-year-old right-
hander, started the best-of-three
final with six consecutive strikes,
and he threw 17 strikes overall in
2-0 victory over Malaysia's
Shahrukh Zulkifli, which includ-
ed scores of 244-216 and 247-
198.
The gold-medal run marked the
first medal round of the week for
the Junior Team USA boys, who
entered the 2018 World Youth
Championships as the three-time
defending champions in the team
event. Team member Wesley Low
Jr. of Palmdale, California, also
returned as the defending champi-
on in singles and doubles.
"All week long, we were a little
depressed and disappointed, espe-
cially because we really wanted
that team gold, and we came up
short," Schenck said. "The pres-
sure was on today, knowing it was
our last chance for a medal. I was
able to throw some big games
along the way, and even when I
got nervous, it was nice knowing I
had the coaches and my team-
mates behind me. This is special.
This one is for all the boys."
Masters match play this week
included the top 24 boys and top
24 girls, who qualified based on
their 18-game pinfall totals from
singles, doubles and team. Each
event featured a six-game format.
Seven of the eight Junior Team
USA members at the event
advanced to the Masters competi-
tion, but Schenck was the only
one to win a match.
In his 18 games, Schenck aver-
aged 219.83 to finish eighth in the
all-events standings, and that per-
formance earned him a first-round
bye for the Masters portion of the
week.
On the way to the gold medal,
Schenck averaged nearly 231 in
four matches and lost just one of
the nine games he bowled.
The climb included a 2-0 (234-
199, 226-199) win against
Abdulrahman Alkheliwi of Saudi
Arabia, a 2-0 (256-221, 266-217)
victory over Sweden's Robert
Lindberg and a 2-1 semifinal win
against Japan's Hideaki Hata
(193-210, 199-186, 213-104).

RENO, Nev. – The 2018 United States
Bowling Congress Senior Championships
concluded at the National Bowling
Stadium, recognizing 12 champions from
11 states.
Nearly 400 bowlers from across the
United States and Canada laced up at the
78-lane venue and competed in one of two
divisions – Open and Women’s – and six
age classifications (50-54, 55-59, 60-64,
65-69, 70-74, 75 and above).
Competitors bowled a pair of three-game
qualifying blocks over two days to deter-
mine the six players in each division
advancing to the medal round. The six qual-
ifiers from each division were determined
by total pinfall, including handicap.
Pinfall was dropped for the medal round,
but bowlers were awarded bonus pins based
on their qualifying position (50 bonus pins
for first, 40 pins for second, etc.).
In the Women’s Division, three of the top
qualifiers went onto capture titles in the
respective age classifications.
Eileen Windler of Fowler, Indiana,
cruised to the top spot in the 75 and above
category with a 726 total, while Kim Hasser
of Oxford, Indiana, and Josephine Morris of
Thedford, Nebraska, took advantage of
their bonus pins to squeak out victories in
55-59 and 70-74, respectively.
Hasser and Trudy Quint of Winnipeg,
Manitoba, posted the same total series,
including handicap (692), but Hasser’s
bonus pins ended up giving her the overall
win, 742-732. Quint qualified in second
place in 55-59.
Morris posted the third-highest series
(685) in 70-74, but her bonus pins let her
edge Phyllis Franklin of Paducah,
Kentucky, 735-731, to claim the title.
Three lower seeds won in the other age
classifications. Angie Decker of Louisville,
Kentucky (782), and Anita Ruder of Hays,
Kansas (723), each qualified third to win in
50-54 and 60-64, respectively.
Charlotte Winklepleck of Strasburg,
Colorado, made the biggest jump in the
women’s division, racing from fourth place
in qualifying to the top spot in the 65-69
classification with a 750 total.
In the Open Division, Terry Lindner of
Ringtown, Pennsylvania, made the largest
comeback after qualifying in fifth place in
the 65-69 group.
Lindner rolled a 736 total Friday, which
was enough to hold off top qualifier Bobby
Goss of Carrollton, Mississippi, who fin-
ished in second with 727.
Four of the six top qualifiers went on to
capture titles in the Open Division.
Max Honke of Salem, South Dakota,
posted the highest overall total (811) to win
in the 70-74 group, and he was joined at the
top of the standings by Sharon Pearson of
Syracuse, Utah (772), in 50-54, Charles
Fick of Vancouver, Washington (772), in
55-59 and Jerry Martinez of Hayward,
California (712), in 60-64.
Phillip Smalley of Londonderry, New
Hampshire, jumped one spot in the stand-
ings after qualifying second in the 75 and
above category, taking home the win with a
705 total.
Competitors at the 2018 USBC Senior
Championships earned their spots in this
week’s field through their state or
province’s senior tournaments.

PBA CEO-Commissioner Tom Clark

Attends Terrell Owens’ NFL Hall of Fame Ceremony
PBA CEO and Commissioner Tom Clark was on hand to help his long-
time PBA friend, Terrell Owens, celebrate his entry into the NFL Hall of
Fame in a unique ceremony held at Owens’ alma mater, the University
of Tennessee-Chattanooga, on Aug. 4.
Owens, who has been a friend of the PBA since becoming one of the
original PBA League owners (Dallas Strikers) in 2013, has since com-
peted as a player in the PBA World Series of Bowling in Las Vegas, par-
ticipated in five CP3 PBA Celebrity invitational events (winning in 2013
in Los Angeles with partner Pete Weber), and hosted the 2017 Main
Event Terrell Owens PBA Super Clash in Houston. He has attended sev-
eral other PBA events as a fan, and has competed in two USBC Open
Championships with Clark and others on a Bowlers Journal team as an
active bowler.
Owens, in making a statement to the football writers who select NFL
Hall of Famers, decided not to participate in the traditional induction
ceremonies in Canton, Ohio, but hosted his own induction ceremony in
Chattanooga.
