I'm asking you bowlers to be more proactive in making sure that scores, including those for the step-ladder matches, are recorded on the appropriate sheets.

In the Major Division scores were not turned in for the 1st match of the step-ladder.
In the Prep Division, I have no idea who won the final match....Noah or Jonathan!
Hopefully someone out there wrote them down....please let me know what they were!

I bowled my 3rd 300 on Oct 1 and then my fourth on Oct 21!

FYI
There is a JBT on the 2nd at Laurel Lanes, Plainville, CT. Hopefully our squad times will allow any bowler who also wishes to enter the JBT to compete in both.

OPEN TO ANY BOWLER WHO HAS EVER WON A JBT TOURNAMENT

JULY 26TH - BRUNSWICK ZONE CAROLIER, N.  BRUNSWICK, NJ

Check out bowl.com to see how our old friend Jenn Boisselle has done:

BOGOTA, Colombia - The Junior Team USA girls won its third gold medal in as many events Wednesday night, claiming the trios title, while the boys settled for the trios silver medal at the 2009 Pan American Bowling Confederation Youth Championships.

The United States trio of Jenn Boisselle, Kristie Petravich and Christine Bator earned the gold medal with a six-game total of 3,765, topping host Colombia by 102 pins.

Junior Team USA's girls, who have already claimed the singles and doubles gold medals, led the Colombians by 140 pins heading into the final game and held off a final push to earn the gold.

"All of our nerves started to come back that last game," Boisselle said. "We saw the Colombians start stringing strikes, so we were definitely nervous. We just had to bowl our game and it worked out for us."

Boisselle led the group with a 1,309 individual total, an average of better than 218 per game. Petravich added 1,236, while Bator shot 1,220.
