NATIONAL DEAby ConnieF BOWL Marchione ING NEWS TRACKING DEAF PBA SUPER SENIOR FRANK GALLO, JR. IN SOUTH REGIONAL JACKSONVILLE — Last year Frank Gallo, Jr. of Jacksonville, FL made history as first deaf bowler to win a PBA Senior South Regional tournament to go along with his historical first by a deaf bowler PBA Eastern Regional tournament few years ago. With 40 years as PBA member, Gallo, a super-senior (60 years old and over) is bowling better as he is getting older. This year we are keeping tabs on Gallo as he is getting ready for the coming this month PBA50 Tour (a new name for Senior Tour). He had warmed up by participating in two PBA50 South Re- gional tournaments, one at Paradise Bowl in Spartanburg, SC and other at Franklin Bowling Center in Franklin, VA. I regret not having the results on both. However, PBA released only the statistics on the senior bowlers who participated in each or both tournaments as of March 18. From this PBA50 South Regional Leaders report, we find Gallo doing well in top 10 of 91 senior participants and top 5 of 35 super seniors in 5 different categories, Points, Earnings, Averages, Percentage of Cashing and Percentage of making Finals. So in Points which gives 25,000 points for winning, Gallo ranked 7th for 2 events total of 22,239 points. If you count the 35 super seniors competing, Gallo ranked 2nd with George Pappas ahead of him. In Earnings with $1,800.00 being at top, Gallo is in 8th with 2 events earnings total of $1,175.00. He also ranked 2nd if super seniors were counted. In Averages with one senior at top with 246 (17 games), Gallo is struggling in 19th place with 27 games at 218.37. He drops to third among 35 super seniors. In Making Cashes, although Gallo is ranked 10th, he is tied with 11 others with 100% for same 2 cashes out of 2 events. He is 2nd with Pappas ahead of him. In Qualifying for Finals, although ranked 5th, Gallo is tied with 6 others at 100% in 2 out of 2 events. All these summed up Gallo is doing great so far. Remember this was for south regional bowlers, the coming real events are for national seniors. NOTE: DEAF TRAVEL WILL BE AT GABLE HOUSE BOWL SUNDAY NOON. First PBA League Champion to be Crowned in Elias Cup Finals Sunday on ESPN INDIANAPOLIS — The quest to determine the first Professional Bowlers Association League champion culminates Sunday when the Elias Cup Finals air on ESPN at 10 a.m. PT from Woodland Bowl in Indianapolis. Fresh off his history-making win in the Barbasol PBA Tournament of Champions, Hall of Famer Pete Weber will try to make it two historic titles in a row by leading his top-seeded New York City WTT KingPins presented by GEICO team to the title. Weber and teammates Tommy Jones, Scott Norton, Jack Jurek, John Szczerbinski and Kelly Kulick earned the top stepladder berth for the PBA League Elias Cup finals by winning two qualify- ing rounds during the PBA Detroit Winter Swing and compiling 45 points to out-distance Jerome Bettis’ Motown Muscle (Mike Fagan, Tom Smallwood, Mike Scroggins, Ronnie Russell, Jesse Buss and DJ Archer) by seven points. The Elias Cup finals will incorporate the Baker team format which requires each member of the team to bowl two frames in one game. The championship match will consist of two games with total pins determining the winner. The BROOKLYN STyLES (Sean Rash, Ryan Ciminelli, Ryan Shafer, Walter Ray Williams Jr., Jason Sterner, and Tom Hess), owned by actor Jesse Williams, captured the No. 3 berth in the Elias Cup finals with the help of their win in the PBA League opening round. The STyLES will meet Terrell Owens’ Dallas Strikers (Norm Duke, Rhino Page, Amleto Monacelli, Bryon Smith, Mike Machuga and Mike Wolfe) in the Elias Cup opening match. Dallas claimed the final berth in the finals thanks to its second-place finish in the final Earl Anthony qualifying round. KingPins owner, tennis legend Billie Jean King, and Strikers owner football great Terrell Owens will be on hand for the finals in support of their teams. The four teams that advanced to the finals were the top point-getters after five PBA League qualifying rounds that were conducted as part of the PBA Detroit Winter Swing. Teams that failed to advance to the finals were L.A. X (Jason Belmonte, Wes Malott, Andres Gomez, Parker Bohn III, Dave Wodka and Ildemaro Ruiz) owned by Los Angeles Clippers super- star Chris Paul; Silver Lake Atom Splitters (Chris Barnes, Dom Barrett, Josh Blanchard, Stuart Wil- liams, Nathan Bohr and Jon VanHees) owned by comedian and podcast pioneer Chris Hardwick; Philadelphia Hitmen (Bill O’Neill, Mika Koivuniemi, Chris Loschetter, Mike DeVaney, Dick Allen and Dino Castillo) owned by actor/comedian Kevin Hart and the Pittsburgh Jack Rabbits (Osku Palermaa, Martin Larsen, Dan MacLelland, Patrick Allen, Thomas Larsen and Anthony LaCaze) owned by Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley.
