Still, I just tried to close it out and make my shots.” Hamman’s ability to make those shots and come away victorious was thanks in large part to a solid game plan estab- lished during practice. “My plan coming in was to play the gutter and just roll the ball, because that would keep me away from splits,” Hamman said. “Junior Gold is always such a demanding and mentally exhausting tournament, but it’s worth it. Even if I hadn’t won, it would still be worth it. I’m just really happy right now. This is surreal.” Varano, who made the stepladder and finished third in the U15 division at the 2019 Junior Gold Championships, earned the right to take on Hamman for the title after she got past Elena Carr of Hilton, New York, 211-168, during the opening match. Carr was in the pocket throughout the match, but poor pin carry allowed Varano to get ahead and stay ahead. After she connected for a four consecutive strikes in frames five through eight, she had locked Carr out and secured her position in the championship match. Bohn defeated Edgar Burgos of St. Charles, Illinois, in a battle of preous Junior Gold champions, 232-200, to win the U18 title in the boys division. Bohn captured the 2017 U12 title, while Burgos won the U12 trophy in 2016. As championship matches often do, the contest came down to the final frame. Bohn had a chance to shut out Burgos 13th LAUGHLIN with a double, but a 10 pin on a slightly high hit on his second delivery left the door open for Burgos to strike out to win by one pin and force a second game. BLAST! Burgos got his ball to the pocket, just as he had on the previous shots that struck, but the result was different, as the Senior No–Tap Doubles Handicap Event 7 pin didn’t fall, giving Bohn the game and his second Junior Gold title. “Winning Junior Gold once was great, but to win it twice now is unbelievable,” Bohn said. “This one was for my SUNDAY, AUGUST 15 grandma and for my uncle. We lost them a couple months back, and this is for them. I know they’d be happy right now.” Contact & Information: Bohn was happy in victory, but he was quick to point out that he was anything but happy during the early stages of Joyce Dalton–Jensen (619) 251–9660 this year’s tournament. www.Laughlinblast.com “I started out badly, I had no confidence at all and my patience was low, but then something clicked on Day 3,” Bohn said. “Once that happened, I just took it and ran with it. To be standing here today with the trophy in my hand now is surreal. This was really just a whirlwind.” Whirlwind is a good way to describe Burgos’ pin carry during his semifinal win over Silas Limes of Wichita, Kansas. LOUSY BOWLER Burgos threw five consecutive strikes, starting in the second frame, before closing with four of the last five en route to a 263 game. Limes threw eight strikes of his own in the semifinal, but costly opens in the fourth and fifth frames put him too far TOURNAMENT! behind.

A FREE LOUSY BOWLER T–SHIRT “I had to expect Edgar to strike out and force the last game, so I was getting myself ready for that,” Bohn said. “But as I sat there, I was happy with the shots I had thrown, so I would’ve had nothing to be disappointed about no matter SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 what happened.

No player was allowed to distinguish the pattern in any of the Igniter Solid & Pearl shows. For this event, they brought back the gold pins which have not been used in twenty years.
