Kevin Thibeault throws 300 in Friday Junior Doubles

I peeked my head in briefly this morning, and Kevin Thibeault told me he shot a perfecto last night in the youth doubles league. But it was not the only honor-caliber score in this league: Wonder Bowl’s Tyler Perry, already a legend for what he’s accomplished as a youth bowler, made the Friday league (one of) his summer leagues and, although I don’t have an exact date on it, had a 299 game in the league before he went to Junior Gold.

Congrats to both of you. 🙂

A lot of the Westgate crew was back at Walnut Hill Bowl for the Tournament Players Series doubles event yesterday, with Kevin Thibeault & Matt Richard besting Danny Khuu & Sean Richard in the title match 460-426 (with handicap). Although I don’t have the scores, Kevin also said on Facebook that he threw his third 800 series (but not sanctioned) during qualifying.

Congrats everyone! 🙂

Tom Hankey wins U15 boys title in 2015 Junior Gold

Like Tyler Perry previously, I’m noting a bowler from Massachusetts who did well on the national stage…

The USBC reported that Tom Hankey, a bowler out of Cove Lanes in Great Barrington, MA, was the champion of the under-15 boys division of this year’s Junior Gold tournament in Chicago. Tom led the division after qualifying and the advancers rounds, winning his first two rounds of match play before losing to Jalen Mosley. After another match, Tom turned the tables on Jalen, then defeated Jorge Rodriguez 445-387 in the title match, which will air on CBS Sports Network on Aug. 11 at 10 PM Eastern time. Tom also earned a spot on the Junior Team USA developmental team.

Prior to Junior Gold, Tom also did well in the Youth Open at Orland Bowl, currently leading the U15 scratch team (with Jersey Boys and Tom) and boys all-events titles, with Tom relating on Facebook that the bowled a 300 game in the team event.

Congratulations to Tom, and I’ll also send along my wishes for continued success. 🙂
