The People’s Tournament reported Alton Voisine (Westgate Lanes, 177 avg.) as the winner of the event held on Mar. 23 at Westgate Lanes. Alton defeated Angela Wright (Hall of Fame Silver Lanes, 191 avg.) in the final match by a score (with handicap) of 232-208. Michael Reed (180 avg.), Henry Webber (188 avg.), Lisa Lach (141 avg.), and Tina Gannon (209 avg.) were the other Westgate Lanes cashers.
The next People’s Tournament will be on June 1, with squads at 9:30 AM and 12:30 PM.
After winning a point from “The Dynasty Is Back”, “Snakes On A Lane” stand in a tie for 13th with “3’s Company”, nine points off of a tie for the lead by “Bowling Stones” and “Mustangs”. Team 16 is only a point back in third; should they also win the second half, there would be no roll-off.
Just some notes related to Ed Roberts and Alex Aguiar’s doubles performance in the city tournament yesterday:
Administrivia note: The first post about the 600 doubles game will be updated with Ed & Alex’s photo.
“Tripped 4s” lost all seven to Team 1, and we now stand just two points ahead of last place with two weeks left. “6-Pack Abs” lead “The Ocho” by 13 points, and are still in position to clinch the championship this week.
What yesterday lacked in scoring pace in the city tournament was more than made up for today, with Ed Roberts and Alex Aguiar starting the day with what is thought to be not only the first 600 doubles game in the history of Westgate Lanes, but in all of the Brockton Bowling Association’s history. Alex also added games of 234 and 269 in the event for an 803 series.
It was also a good day for Steve Travers, as he had a 290 game in singles, and followed that up with a 299 game in team. Finally, Matt Yandek also had a 299 game in the doubles event for a total of six honor scores today.
Congrats everyone! 😀
The first day of this year’s city tournament was quiet in the way of honor scores, and nobody was really killing it on the fresh Abbey Road for the minor events (doubles & singles). I’m running brackets and side pots at the tournament this year, and the low scores in the minors killed the action for team event. One of the now “usual suspect” teams, Montgomery Industries (line-up of Vin D’Aleo, Gino Beniamino, Ed Roberts, and Joe Campbell), was crushing in the team event, to the point that Gino and Ed were the two left in the third game of the only bracket I ran, and, knowing their arrangement, I gave Ed all of the bowlers’ money out of the bracket and broke down for the day.
More of the same tomorrow (and hopefully with some good scores).
Some of you may recall that Jewell Wilson had the first 300 game of the season at Westgate Lanes in the TNBA league last September, but there hasn’t been another one in that league until last Friday night, when Dan Esdale posted it. Congrats “Easy”! 😀
Sandi Litchfield had a much better night than me tonight…in fact, she’s had a lot of those of late, with tonight being a 248-259-222=729 performance. WTG Sandi! 😀
My Week 28 bowling, frame-by-frame (Linked to BowlSK sheet)
The second game was quite embarrassing, as my Fast wanted to go to the right off of my hand and I ended up double-guttering in the 6th frame. I eventually ended up throwing my Hy-Road on the right lane and salvaged an over-average game in the third game. Both doubles came in the 10th finishing on the left lane (not the right, where I double-guttered).
Result: 168-115-179=462
Average (84 games): 175
Average for last 9 games: 168
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 571
My night was so bad Carl was actually high man for us with a 488, but we did win a point third game, as my team needed me to perform in the 10th.
After winning all four from “WTF Over”, “Snakes On A Lane” stand in a tie for 10th place with three other teams, nine points behind “Bowling Stones”, who lead “Mustangs” by two points. “The Dynasty Is Back” will provide the opposition tomorrow night.
