Walter Ray Williams Jr. Wins PBA Senior Northern California Classic
By Jerry Schneider - PBA BRENTWOOD, Calif. Professional Bowlers Association Hall of Famer Walter Ray Williams Jr. made a bid to become the favorite for 2012 Senior Player of the Year honors by winning the PBA Senior Northern California Classic presented by Track at Harvest Park Bowl. The seven-time PBA Player of the Year became the first two-time winner this season by defeating Hugh Miller of Seattle, 248-231, in the championship match. A lot of my matches today were closer than they looked, said Williams, who was the 2010 PBA Senior Rookie of the Year. It wasnt all smooth sailing because I had a PBA Photo couple of matches that came down to Walter Ray Williams Jr. is Northern California Senior Classic the 10th frame. But I did what I had to Champion is here with Harvest Park Bowl manager, Sherry do to win. Mackenzie and proprietor Jim Wangeman. Williams, who won the Senior Don Carter Memorial earlier this season, captured his fourth of the season and was coming off a fifth-place finish in the career Senior Tour title to go along with his PBATour career- Etonic PBA Senior U.S. Open and second-place finish in last leading 47 titles. He also improved on seventh and 17th- weeks United States Bowling Congress Senior Masters. In the semifinals, Williams defeated Mike Dias of place finishes in his previous two Senior Northern California Lafayette, Colo., 259-228 and Miller defeated Hall of Famer Classic appearances. The first game I bowled in match play I shot 194 and Wayne Webb of Columbus, Ohio, 216-205, to advance to missed the pocket one time so I had to go to another ball to the title match. The 2012 PBA Senior Tour season takes a six-week break get a better reaction on the backend, said Williams, who before it resumes with the PBA Senior South Shore Open prewon a total of four matches. I had one open and dont think I missed the pocket maybe two or three times all day. Im just sented by DV8 at Olympia Lanes in Hammond, Ind., Aug. 69, and the season-ending PBA Senior Decatur Open presented glad I didnt waste all my strikes in qualifying. Miller was trying to become the seventh different winner by Brunswick Aug. 11-14 at Spare Time Lanes in Decatur, Ill.

Mike Edwards collected $16,000 for his USBCSenior Masters Title LAS VEGAS - Mike Edwards of Tulsa, Okla., made it through the double-elimination match-play bracket undefeated to win the 2012 United States Bowling Congress Senior Masters. Edwards, competing in his second Senior PBA Tour event, won the title with a 701-691 victory over Hugh Miller of Mercer Island, Wash., at the South Point Bowling Center. The victory gave Edwards a payday of $16,000 as he finished on top of the field of 283 of the top bowlers age 50 and older in the world. "This is validation to let me know that I'm legitimately back because I have had a rough year and a half," said Edwards, who won seven matches en route to the title. "My father died five months ago, and I really lost my passion for bowling. I hope that the Senior Tour will revitalize my career, especially now that I've won a major." Edwards, who turned 50 in December, sat and watched as Miller finished the championship match. Needing all three strikes in the 10th frame to win by one pin, Miller struck on his first shot and then left a 6 pin. In the doubleelimination format, even if Miller had won the match, the two would have bowled a second championship match. "Sitting on the bench to win has never happened to me," said Edwards, who has been a PBA member since 1981 and won his lone PBA Tour title in 1994. "It didn't hit me for a second, and I had to add up the score again real quick. I don't think it has sunk in yet." Miller, a seven-time winner on the PBA Tour and two-time Senior PBA Tour winner, defeated USBC Hall of Famer Amleto Monacelli of Venezuela, 634-571 for the right to take on Edwards for the title. The loss gave Monacelli a third-place finish in his Senior Masters debut. Two-time Senior Masters champion and 69-year-old Gary Dickinson of Edmond, Okla., fell short in his bid to become the first player to win the event three times. Dickinson lost to Monacelli, 771538, to finish fourth.

MADISON, NJ Mike Potoski found the right line and went on to blast eleven strikes in a row before leaving one pin standing for a 9count to leave him one pin shy of rolling perfect with a 299 game and finished the meeting with a high series of 824 while competing in the CMIL League at Plaza Lanes.

Past Champion Rolls Perfect Game At USBC Women's Championships

RENO, Nev. -Betty Brooks of Lakewood, Calif., etched her name in the record books at the United States Bowling Congress Women's Championships when she claimed the Ruby All-Events crown at the 2010 event in El Paso, Texas, and this week, she claimed another spot in tournament history with the first 300 game of the 2012 tournament. Brooks tossed 12 consecutive strikes during singles at the National Bowling Stadium in Reno, Nev., on June 10 to become one of just 16 competitors in the 93-year history of the USBC Women's Championships to accomplish the feat. The 52-year-old right-hander started singles with a 164 game before getting lined-up for her run at history. She finished with 160 for a 624 series. Although Brooks had never rolled a perfect game before, she was able to remain calm during the final frame with the support of her family and friends. She got her 11th offering a little wider than planned, but there was little doubt about her final shot. "I thought I had it," said Brooks, who made her eighth Women's Championships appearance. "I was just hoping I wasn't going to leave a 10 pin. I was a little nervous, but I tried to stay focused and loose. It's my first 300 ever, and I got to do it in front of the eight teams I brought from Los Angeles and across the country. I had my husband here, and my daughter was bowling as well. It was really special for me." In her 50th appearance, Marie McAllister of Columbus, Ohio competed in the Sapphire Division and rolled a 456 series in team, 448 in singles and 444 in doubles for a 1,348 all-events score. All scores include handicap. For more information on the Women's Championships, visit BOWL.com/womenschamp.

How did this thing called bowling begin? Well, it was many years before once upon a time, and there was this over qualified shepherd who was bored by the monotony of tending sheep, so he began to amuse himself by throwing rocks, but simply tossing rocks led to more boredom. When he was on the verge of developing rocks in the head he made his game more difficult. He began to toss rocks at birds, but he never hit any because the birds were too quick. Now he not only was bored, but frustrated too. In disgust he hurled a rock at one of the wayward sheep. He missed, then tried again. It was fun. It wasn't too long before he started to hit the sheep, but sheep don't take to getting hit by rocks very well, and soon he had a sheep carcass on his hands. He couldn't let it go to waste so the shepherd gluttoned on mutton, and then only the bones remained. Too stuffed and too lazy to move, he flipped the sheep bones into the air. As fate would have it, two of the bones stuck in the soft earth. The target was much too inviting for the shepherd so he found himself a rock and rolled it at the sheep bones. He missed. He rolled another rock, missed again, and was mad, and sad. Then he knocked a bone down. He was happy. He retrieved his rocks and set up the bones again. His monotonous life had ended, and the first bowler was born. Every time a new bowler picks up a bowling ball for the first time, hes in the same boat as that shepherd who didn't know what to do when he started throwing those rocks into the air. But all new bowlers are not as eager as the shepherd to find new ways to alleviate some of life's monotony. There is an innate lure in bowling. There is a challenge. There is

HOWELL, N.J. Danny Wiseman of Baltimore defeated Tommy Dakouvanos of Belford, N.J., 267-200, to win his second consecutive Professional Bowlers Association East Region title in the Howell Lanes Open presented by Brunswick at Howell Lanes.

Wiseman defeated Darryl Bower of Middletown, Pa., 246-203, and Dakouvanos defeated Ray Edwards of Middle Island, N.Y., 242-241, in the semifinal round. For Dakouvanos, his runner-up finish was his career best and came at the site of his first PBA finals a year ago as well as the center where he won the Monmouth County Masters earlier this year. Bower and Edwards each earned $1,000 as semifinal round losers. In the Round of 8, Bower had a unique Fathers Day present as he defeated his son Johnathan 2-1. Also making it to the Round of 8 was local youth bowler Matt Russo of Millstone Township. Russo, a 15 year-old, qualified second and defeated another talented amateur and defending champion Anthony Pepe of East Elmhurst, N.Y. before losing to Ray Edwards of Middle Island, N.Y., a three-time East Region Player of the Year.

fun, enjoyment, and competition. But, in bowling, particularly for beginners, there also is ignorance of the sport. Often, the challenge is too great, one that leads to frustration, or there's too little of a challenge. Like the shepherd who couldn't hit the birds, new bowlers don't want to miss the pins all the time, nor do they want to knock them all down too easily. Not too long after his first experiences with the rocks and bones, the shepherd smoothed his playing field, fashioned a pattern on which to place the sheep bones, and kept at it, making his game more and more interesting. The people who take up bowling these days won't be forced to do what the shepherd had to do to enjoy his newly found game. There seems to be an air in bowling these days, a new feeling, a willingness to change to attract new bowlers and reclaim the lost one. New and old bowlers need continuous encouragement. They need mental and physical help and instruction of every kind from everyone involved in the game, other bowlers, proprietors, and officials of all the organizations. Many won't stick to bowling the way the shepherd did. Many will give up without much struggle or reason. Too many people have given up bowling for the wrong reasons. If all the people who bowled in the past 30 years who are still able to bowl were still bowling, or even a fair portion of them, all the lanes in the country would be rolling the better part of 24 hours a day. To get them back is a worthy goal, and fine efforts are being made. There are plenty of shepherds out there we never have reached or recalled. Once upon a time in bowling is a long time ago in the past. But forever is a longer time in the future, and that's where bowling must look.

Junior Gold Sets Tournament, Membership Records

By Terry Bigham - IBC ARLINGTON, Texas - A record number of youth bowlers will take part in the North Pointe Junior Gold Championships next month in Indianapolis, and the United States Bowling Congress Junior Gold program already has established a membership record for the 2011-12 season. The 2012 North Pointe Junior Gold Championships presented by Brunswick has sold 2,088 spots, shattering the previous record of 1,980 set in 2009, also in Indianapolis. It is a 14-percent increase over last year's mark of 1,821 entries. The USBC Junior Gold program has more than 4,000 members for the first time in the program's 15year history, a 12-percent increase over last season's total, also a record. The North Pointe Junior Gold Championships was created by combining the Bowling Proprietors' of America North Pointe High School Championships and the USBC Junior Gold Championships into one national singles championship event with four divisions - U20 boys, U20 girls, U15 boys, U15 girls. Chad Murphy, International Bowling Campus Managing Director of Youth Development, said while the change was dramatic, it allowed for a scholarship pool of $250,000 and opened the field to more youth bowlers. More than 300 participants for this year's North Pointe Junior Gold Championships qualified in the new U15 division. "The folks who were passionate about both events have supported this new event in an unbelievable way," Murphy said. "Our goal is to create lifelong bowlers and, because of their support, a larger group of kids will benefit. In Indianapolis this summer, we'll get to celebrate this success when we crown four champions and build the foundation for Junior Team USA. It has been exciting and fun to see it all come together." This season, 507 centers held 836 qualifiers, up from the 337 centers that held qualifiers last season. Murphy said the support of tournament coordinators throughout the country also was a key factor to the record-setting numbers. The 2012 North Pointe Junior Gold Championships will be held July 14-20 at Woodland Bowl, Western Bowl and Expo Bowl in Indianapolis. In addition to the $250,000 scholarship pool, participants also will be vying for spots on Junior Team USA.

Junior Team USA Heads to Thiland For World Youth Championships

By Lucas Wiseman - USBC ARLINGTON, Texas - Eight members of Junior Team USA are competing in the 2012 World Tenpin Bowling Association World Youth Championships that started Sunday, taking on a talented field of youth bowlers from around the world. The World Youth Championships will run through July 3 at the Blu-O Paragon Bowling Center in Bangkok, Thailand. Medals will be up for grabs in five events - singles, doubles, team, all-events and Masters match play. Andrew Koff of Miami again will represent the United States at the event after winning the all-events gold medal two years ago in Helsinki, Finland. He will be joined on the boys team by Team USA Trials champion Marshall Kent of Yakima, Wash., Zack Hattori of Las Vegas and two-handed bowler Chris Via of Springfield, Ohio. On the girls side, Team USA Trials champion Danielle McEwan of Stony Point, N.Y., will be accompanied by three-time Junior Team USA member Jessica Earnest of Vandalia, Ill., Amanda Green of Romney, W.Va., and Kelsey Muther of Topeka, Kan. "We have a very talented team this year, and we look forward to see how they match up with the rest of the world," Team USA head coach Rod Ross said. "We had a great training camp week with Junior Team USA, and the depth of this year's team made it very hard to select the players for this competition. However, I believe they are ready, and we look forward to the competition." The Americans will take on a tough international field, including Korea, which won six gold medals, two silver medals and five bronze medals at the 2010 World Youth Championships. Junior Team USA claimed five total medals in Helsinki. "The international teams are very good, and are getting better every year," Ross said. "The stronger international teams do have a slight advantage as they have competed together as team in several tournaments prior to the worlds, as well as having trained together for a substantial time." A record 50 countries are competing in the 2012 World Youth Championships, with nine coming from the American Zone, 18 from the Asian Zone and 23 from the European Zone.
