Finally posting to my blog after an exciting day of bowling in the Brockton Bowling Association’s Bowler of the Year tournament.
First, during qualifying, Jeff Carter provided the fireworks with a perfect game. I should mention at this point that I recently bought an HTC EVO V 4G smartphone (the repackaged EVO 3D for Virgin Mobile), and, using the built-in camera, I was able to get video of Jeff’s last strike, which I then posted to the association’s Facebook page, the first of what I hope will be many posts to the page from my new phone.
In the end, however, it was Ryan Yelle who came away with the title, becoming the first two-time Bowler of the Year, after defeating Bob Hamilton in the final match by a score of 194-184. The stepladder finals got off to a dramatic start when Hamilton tied Chuck Gerlach at 214, sending the match to a 9th and 10th frame roll-off, won by Bob 40-27. Bob then defeated Nate Abdow to get into the final match. A photo of Ryan and Bob after the match is also on the association Facebook page.
The association will have a more detailed recap on our website soon.
