I can also report that Matt Richard had a 298 game during qualifying. Congratulations to all. 🙂

Wilson Hu wins 2017 BBA Madness; Chris Carter bowls 300

Wilson Hu, a bowler out of Town Line Luxury Lanes, captured the Brockton Bowling Association’s second annual BBA Madness tournament today at Westgate Lanes after defeating Kevin Thibeault, 270-260 (with handicap) in the final match. In that match, Kevin seemed to be in control, but Wilson stayed clean, forcing Kevin to mark in the 10th to win, at which point he left an unfortunate 8-10 split. There were 41 entries, up from the inaugural event last year.

Also, during qualifying, Chris Carter, the 2011 BBA Bowler of the Year champion, threw a 300 game, my video of which has been uploaded to the association’s Facebook page and is shown below:

The Brockton Bowling Association would like to thank everyone who participated today.

Rich Fulton shoots 300 in TNT

Got word tonight that Rich Fulton bowled another 300 game, this in the Tuesday night pot game. This was the first night that the pot games were on the (likely modified) Kegel Great Wall of China pattern, which will be the last quarter’s Coke shot, so if this is any indication, there shouldn’t be much change to the Coke league’s scoring pace when the league starts on the new shot.

Good bowling Rich! 🙂

Jim Ferguson, Jason Unthank lead high scoring day at NAT

The walls around the pro shop will have many more desk printouts on them after yesterday, as it was a high-scoring day in the Northeast Amateur Tournament’s handicap singles event. The day was led by Jim Ferguson, who had 269-248-300 for an 817 on the first squad, and Jason Unthank, who posted 279-246-300 for an 825 on the second squad. Additionally, Sean Richard, Tom Hedding, Angel Hernandez, and Mike Peirce had 300 games without an 800 series, and Bill Tessier (299) and Mike Masse (298) both threw 11 in a row.

I didn’t think I had a video of my own of one of TomTom’s 300 games, so I present one below:

As usual, I will wait for the NAT to make a post before posting about the tournament’s winner.

Congrats guys! 🙂

Curtis Batten bowls first 300 game in Raynham

Robbie Chappell, a bowler in the Thursday Night Mixed league at Ryan Family Amusements in Raynham, reported to me on Facebook that Curtis Batten, a member of that league, bowled a 300 second game tonight. Pending formal USBC certification, this will be the first 300 game bowled in that bowling center, which converted some of their duckpin lanes to tenpin in the summer of 2014.

Congrats Curtis! 🙂

Zach Thompson, Rich Fulton bowl 300 in Coke league

For the third time in the current segment of the Coke league, two perfect games were posted on the same night. The first of the two was in the first game by Zach Thompson, who many of you know is the tournament director of the Bay State Open. He’s sometimes said, “Always the videographer,” when he’s posted video of other bowlers’ 300s, and now we can say we have video of one of Zach’s own, below:

Zach’s 300 was followed in the second game by Rich Fulton, who has the most recent 800 series in the league (back in 2014), and the video of that is below:

Congrats to both! 🙂

Brian Egan throws 300 in NEBA at East Providence Lanes

The tournament is still in progress as I write this, but Westgate’s Brian Egan started hot in his NEBA qualifying squad today at East Providence Lanes with a 300 first game. Danny Khuu recorded the last strike, which is below:

Depending on events in the tournament, a post will be made either here or just on the Facebook page after the tournament.

WTG Brian! 🙂

Greg Andrews bowls 804, Mike Botelho 803, Sean Richard 300 in Westgate Mixed

Neither was the scoring limited to my league, as it turned out, as Greg Andrews led the way in the Westgate Mixed league last night with games of 279, 246, and 279 for an 804, followed closely by Mike Botelho, who had 266, 258, and 279 for an 803. Topping that all off, Sean Richard had the second 300 game of the night between the two leagues.

WTG! 🙂

Jake Tobin shoots 299/822, Dan Esdale 300/810 in Brunswick Mixed

There had never been an 800 series in the Brunswick Mixed league since I joined it until last night, and there are now two, as Jake Tobin led the way with games of 256, 299, and 267 for an 822, and Dan Esdale with 257, 300, and 253 for an 810. Ken Gerraughty’s video of Esdale’s last strike is below:

I had my camera going for Jake’s last shot in the second game, but, unfortunately for him, he left a 7 pin. It was still Jake’s first 800 series. Dan, of course, has had 300 games and 800 series before, but he told me this was the first time he ever put the two feats together.

Good job to both! 🙂

Sean Richard shoots 300 in TNT

Although it won’t be sanctioned, Sean Richard had yet another 300 game Tuesday night in the “Tuesday Night Tournament” pot games on the Big Ben Coke shot (but it was the last week the pot games will be on that lane condition). One of the other Coke league bowlers posted a video on Facebook, but the privacy setting does not allow me to share it here.

WTG $eany! 🙂
