Last week, “memorable moments” 16 through 25 were unveiled. Here are those ten moments as the countdown continues:

16) In 1978, Mark Roth won a PBA record eight titles during the 35-event season which is still the record for most titles won in a season. 17) In 2009, Jason Belmonte became the first bowler using a two-handed delivery to win a PBA Tour title when he defeated Mike Fagan, 215-201, in The Bowling Foundation Long Island Classic in West Babylon, N.Y. The win kick-started a career that led to a record for the fastest player to reach $1 million in career earnings (131st event in 2017). Wes Malott held the record, reaching the million-dollar milestone when he won the 2013 U.S. Open in his ADULT/SENIOR VIP 180th event. 18) Billy Hardwick became the first player to complete what would later be known as the “PBA Triple Crown,” winning DOUBLES BOWLING the 1969 BPAA All-Star (later re-named as the U.S. Open), the 1963 PBA National Championship and the 1965 TOURNAMENT PBA Tournament of Champions. Hardwick is one of six players in the PBA’s 60-year history to accomplish the feat. 19) The PBA Tour’s 48th season started with a bang when Walter Ray Williams Jr. broke the Tour’s all-time titles record, SATURDAY, JULY 14 earning win No. 42 over Pete Weber, 289-236, in the 2006 Dydo Japan Cup in Tokyo. $25 Per Bowler. Locals & Walk–Ons Are Welcome! 20) In 1993, Mike Aulby rolled a 300 game in the title match of the PBA Wichita Open to defeat David Ozio, 300-279. Entry deadline June 8, 2018. The 579 pinfall total remains a PBA record for highest combined score in a PBA title match. For more information contact: Jesse J. Dotson, Jr. 21) In 1997, the PBA St. Clair Classic was the last Pro Bowlers Tour event televised by ABC Sports, ending a 36-year (909) 628–3966 / Email: [email protected] HOTEL GROUP CODE: B/ASVIP run. The title match between Walter Ray Williams Jr. and Pete Weber was won by Williams, 206-195, and included an emotional farewell video tribute to ABC announcers Nelson “Bo” Burton Jr. and Chris Schenkel who broke down in tears at the end of the telecast. SENIOR FRIENDSHIP 22) By winning a PBA Senior Regional event in Taylorville, Ill. in 2002, Dick Weber became the first player to win PBA titles at any level in six consecutive decades. Weber won his first PBA title in the 1959 Paramus Eastern Open, the CLASSIC HANDICAP second PBA event ever held. It was the first of 23 consecutive top 24 finishes extending into 1962 - a record that TOURNAMENT has never been broken. 23) In the 1994 PBA National Championship at Ducat’s Imperial Lanes in Toledo, Ohio, Johnny Petraglia threw the OCTOBER 1–3 seventh televised 300 game in PBA history, defeating Walter Ray Williams Jr. in the second match and earning a MIXED TEAM–MIXED DOUBLES–SINGLES–ALL EVENTS! $100,000 bonus.

Couch’s wins came in 1999, 2000 and 2002 (event was not held in 2001) and they took place in three different centers – Incred-A-Bowl in Overland Park, Kan.; Brunswick Zone-Deer Park in Lake Zurich, Ill., and Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., respectively.

From small towns to large metropolitan cities; and, the ages of the participants ranged from the young to the “seasoned.” Who knows, maybe a future Hall of Famer? The afore- mentioned groups described the bowlers competing in the Annual BVL (Bowlers to Veterans Link) California State Championship, which was recently held at Bowlium Lanes in Montclair, California.

To compete in the California State roll off, the bowlers “San Gabriel Valley BVL Board Members: (l to r) Chris Pilios, Linda Johnson-Pilios, Dave must have qualified through their local association where Prechtl, and Mel Molina.” each individual must have won their respective division. Some of those divisions include Mens and Womens, and Juniors Boys and Girls divisions. Juniors bowlers are those who are under the age of 20.

Chris Pilios, past President of the San Gabriel Valley Bowling Association and Chairman of the BVL Commit- tee, along with board members Linda Johnson-Pilios, Mel Molina, Lynda Lapp, Annette Riccelli, Bilil Lapp, Dave Prechtl, Ken Burger, and Annette Anderson, were all in- strumental in organizing the championship tournament. “16-year old Brianna ap- The State representatives and officials who enforced rules proaching final shot at the Ju- and regulations, and settled any and all disputes included nior Division of the BVL State Larry Peppers, Secretary; Rosie Parker, President; Eugene Championship.” McGowan, BVL State Chairman, and several others. “Full house! Competitors awaiting their turns as their final rolls determine individual division champions!” The BVL tournament has a rich history and tradition that dates back to after World War II, when troops were returning home from the battlefields of Europe and Asia. Even today, the BVL tournament affords injured veterans the opportunity to continue to compete on a national level in a sport they really love, regardless of their impairment. Funds raised by these tournaments all go back into programs that continue helping our veterans.

When asked to comment about the overall success of the state tournament, Chris Pilios had this to say, “Tournaments like these run successful with the help and cooperation from its dedicated volunteers. Their time and efforts make it possible to achieve that success. I would like to extend my appreciation to Billy Myers, Al Macabuhay and the wonderful staff at Bowlium Lanes. And, to remember why we have the BVL...so that we ‘Never forget our Veterans!’”

PBA League ontinued from page 1 Splitters manager Mark Baker.” There wasn’t much for me to do other than keep giving them high fives.” In the second semifinal match, the Dallas Strikers looked like they were going to make the finale a match between the PBA League’s only two-time winners, romp- ing to a 278-248 win over the Hitmen in game one. After Bill O’Neill and player-manager Norm Duke converted single-pin spares in the first two frames, Kyle Sherman, Rhino Page and Tommy Jones began a run of nine consecutive strikes to run away with the first game. But Philadelphia pulled off a stunning upset. In game two, the Hitmen took a two-pin advantage into the 10th frame where anchor bowler Dom Barrett left the 2-8 on his first shot. After converting the spare, he needed nine pins to clinch the win by a pin, but left a pocket 7-10 split, ending the game in a 213-213 tie and forcing a one-ball sudden death roll-off. Philadelphia manager Jason Couch sent in rookie left- hander Matt Sanders, who struck. Dallas countered with its leftie, veteran Rhino Page, who left a 6 pin. With the match then tied at one game each, another roll-off was needed to decide who advanced to the Elias Cup finals. Sanders struck and Duke matched him. Couch then called on Tom Smallwood, who got help from a mes- senger to take out the 10 pin for another strike. Page again got the call for Dallas, but again misfired, leaving a 2 pin and sending the Hitmen into the Elias Cup title match for the first time in the series’ seven-year history. “My heart was definitely pumping,” Couch said. “That’s what we hope will happen in this kind of format. I got lucky; I made the right moves and put guys in the right spot, and it worked out well. “We’ve been here enough times. We know the environ- ment,” Couch added. “Nothing seems to rattle (Sanders). He’s really good under pressure. We explained to him after we drafted him what he could expect when he came to Portland. We told him to just have a good time. “I have no problem sending ‘Smalls’ in when we need something. He’s come of age; he bloomed a little later than normal, but I’d take him in that position any time. He did it in Columbus (where he won the Barbasol PBA Play- ers Championship), and he did it for us last year. I have no problem with him anywhere in our lineup.” The Elias Cup and the Mark Roth PBA League MVP will be decided on ESPN on Sunday, March 13, at 1 p.m. ET. The new Elias Cup format will involve two best-of- two-game Baker format matches with a one-ball sudden death roll-off being used to decide any ties. The new format could see up to seven one-ball roll-offs.

She won JEANETTE ROBINSON’S National Golden Ladies Classic and finished second in the Senior Queens several days later.

Her top finishes in two consecutive senior Major Tour- naments make her the top senior female bowler in the world at this time.

While Tish Johnson won the Senior Queen’s Tourna- ment, she finished third in the Golden Ladies Classic. Naccarato’s first and second place finishes are a tad better than Johnson’s first and third place finishes. That small edge in Naccarato’s finishes make her my top senior female bowler in the world at this time.

The top five finishers in the National Golden Ladies Classic were:

1. Jeanne Naccarato 2. Lucy Sandelin 3. Tish Johnson 4. Debbie Essary 5. Michele Carter

The top five finishers in the Senior Queens were:

1. Tish Johnson 2. Jeanne Naccarato 3. Sharon Powers 4. Michelle Carter 5. Sandy Simchen

It is time to give a shoutout to JEANETTE ROBIN- SON for all she has done for the sport of Bowling and in particular for all she has done for Women’s Bowling. She is responsible for conceiving and running the National Golden Ladies Classic for 28 years.

Thank You JEANETTE ROBINSON.
