February 2009 People’s Tournament results

The People’s Tournament’s site reported Arabinda Sahoo (150 avg., Spare Time Lanes {CT}) as the winner of the February event at AMF Cranston Lanes. Sahoo defeated Ryan McPartland (199 avg., AMF Auburn Lanes) by a score (with handicaps) of 271-172 in the title match. A couple of bowlers from my own league did well in this tournament: Bonnie MacDonald (148 avg.) placed in the top 8, and Rick Boerman (149 avg.) was in the top 16. It was a shame both couldn’t be in the top 8, as Bonnie and Rick had to face each other in the round of 16. Jon Corda (206 avg.) also represented Westgate Lanes in the round of 8. Inside the Brockton association, Lee Adams (180 avg., North Bowl Lanes) was a semifinalist.
