Mesa's Chris Mayes Rules JBT Event - JBT News Courtesy Of JBT.
Las Vegas, NV. - - - Chris Mayes put on a clinic, while Jake King tasted victory for the first time, in terrific JBT Mojave Conference action at Suncoast Bowling Center. Event took place on June 11 and 12.
Chris' brother Hunter has grabbed a lot of JBT headlines lately, but Chris made his won big news by beginning the scratch division stepladder finals by defeating his brother with a perfect 300 game, his third in JBT competition. He didn't stop there, running the front seven the next game in a victory over fellow Virtue staff member DJ Kneifel. That left top seed Andrew Guba, looking to set the JBT record (by far) for longest time between wins- his last, amazingly, came back in 2009. It looked like it was finally his time, but a missed tenth frame spare gave Mayes one last chance. Chris was up to the challenge, throwing a perfect strike to swipe away the win, and 7th title of his excellent JBT career.
Newcomer Bryan Gregson won round one of the stepladder finals with a 212-177 victory over Connor Bell, who secured a bye in the following day's Invitational with the top-4 finish. King, another first time finalist, stopped Gregson in the second round 232-167 to advance to the title match. Devin Montoya jumped into the top spot over King with a big last game of the semifinal round, but Jake was able to turn the tables in the final, rolling a big game to earn his first career JBT title.
The Abigania family swept the subdivisions, as they often do, with Katelyn beating Mya Van Ryne for the Girls Scratch win, and Josh stopping Bell for the U17 win. Huge thanks to Becky and the team at Suncoast for their usual great job hosting our Tour. The field is now set for the Mojave Invitational, with over $5,000 to be earned by the talented qualifiers of all ages and skill levels!
Cerell Cardines and Ezekiel Trejo earned $1,000 scholarships each as champions of the JBT Mojave Conference Invitational tournament, hosted by Suncoast Bowling Center in Las Vegas.
Bowlers in both divisions bowled qualifying on two very challenging patterns before the top sixteen advances to triple elimination matchplay. In the scratch division, Zach Greim, on a mission to solidify his TPC berth, was the last undefeated bowler, before hitting a rougher patch and finishing in fifth. In round eight, Elias O'Hollaren and Josh Molloy bowed out in third and fourth, leaving Hunter Mayes needing to beat Cerell Cardines twice to take the title in a clash of two of our best.
Cerell stayed in charge to win the first game and the title, and boy how things have turned around for the veteran. After nine consecutive second place finishes, this is his third consecutive title, second consecutive Invitational, and he becomes the 16th bowler in JBT history to join the extremely elite 20-title club!
In the handicap division, #6 seed Trejo excelled in matchplay, starting out 5-0 before two quick losses. He recovered quickly, and gave Kieran Roth his second loss in round eight, earning a bye in the process. He then watched as Roth eliminated Hayden Fernandez, but Hayden's third place finish was enough to seal Mojave Bowler of the Year! This set up a single game final, and in that title game, Ezekiel was able to beat Kieran again, claiming his second career JBT title, $1,000 top prize, and jumping him into the Mojave all-star team!
Cesar Padilla came from behind to beat O'Hollaren for the U17 title, and Katelyn Abigania won Girls Scratch, each picking up a $200 scholarship bonus. Huge thanks to Becky and the team at Suncoast for another great job hosting a big day. Over $5,500 was awarded to qualifiers of all ages and skill levels! Top scorers now advance to the Touring Players Championship to go against the JBT's best for our biggest title. Want in on all of this? Just check out our schedule and come on down!
