This is one of those occasions when I expand the local scope of this blog to mention a New England bowler who has made an impact nationally. 😀
As reported by the PBA, Jon Van Hees of Charlestown, RI was chosen as the supplemental player by Chris Barnes in tonight’s inaugural PBA League draft. The PBA League is the introduction of a team concept to the regular PBA Tour schedule, and will take place during next year’s Winter Swing portion of the schedule. I did get to chat with Jon on Facebook, and he told me that Barnes told him it was between him and Nathan Bohr as the last regular player, but Bohr’s Wichita State collegiate experience won out; Barnes was happy when Van Hees was still available as the supplemental selection, however.
Here’s hoping Jon sees some action in the first PBA League season. 😀
