At Farmingdale Lanes
OAKLAND, NJ - In a match
where both teams combined to
roll a remarkable 208 average,
anchor Justin Puchalski pulled
out a 1015-1002 win over
Holiday for his Boonton squad
in Stan Niemiec Youth Travel
action by firing 299, missing
perfection by a stubborn 10-pin.
In lifting his league-leading
average to 214, Justin also had
games of 258,200 to post a 757
series. Teammate Karl
Kattermann’s average is an
even 200 after tallying 224-
212: 625, Pat Teshima fired 226
and Brian McGrath a fine over
average 176. Despite dropping
that high-scoring nail-biter,
Holiday I came away with five
points, rolling a stunning 2589
scratch, triggered by leadoff
kegler Graham Mulligan 217-
211-279: 707; Dillon Cilento
recorded 244-643, Anastasia
DeLeon threw a triple deuce
638 [224-212-202] and anchor
Brian Rizzi 231-601.

LAS VEGAS – Chris Barnes of Double Oak, Texas, and
Missy Parkin of Lake Forest, Calif., successfully concluded
two years of international travel when they captured Bayer
Advanced Aspirin World Bowling Tour men’s and women’s
finals titles to kick off the 2012-13 Professional Bowlers
Association television season at South Point Hotel and Casino.
Barnes, a 14-time PBA Tour champion, defeated reigning
WBT men’s champion Mika Koivuniemi of Finland, 244-228,
while Parkin defeated Liz Johnson of Cheektowaga, N.Y., 238-
190, in the women’s finals during the GEICO PBA World
Series of Bowling. Both finals, which featured three players
who qualified by earning points in World Tenpin Bowling
Association-PBA International Tour events over a span of two
years, aired Sunday on ESPN. Both champions earned
$20,000.
Barnes, who won the Columbia 300 Vienna Open in Austria
in October to lock up his berth in the WBT men’s finals, edged
Mike Fagan of Dallas, 258-244, in the semifinal match before
closing with a string of six strikes for a come-from-behind vic-
tory over his close friend, Koivuniemi, in the title match.
“Any win feels good,” Barnes said. “Mika and I always have
good matches. I’ve been fortunate the last three times, but I’m
pretty sure it’ll even out whether I like it or not.”
The key to Barnes’ victory was three 10 pins left by his long-
time international rival on the right lane in the third, seventh and
ninth frames.
“I left a couple of solid 10s on that lane myself,” Barnes said.
“I knew that lane was tighter. I threw one shot that I thought was
pretty good that didn’t even get back to the pocket.”
Forced to finish his game on the tricky right lane after
Koivuniemi’s misfortune in the ninth frame gave him an open-
ing, Barnes made a critical adjustment and threw three strikes in
the 10th frame. The first strike was the one that iced the title.
“I knew I was going to move right and have to stay firm with
the shot,” Barnes said. “Earlier on in my career I didn’t commit
to that shot very well, but I committed to it, and made the shot I
wanted to throw. It didn’t quite get up to high flush, but it was
good enough today.”
As part of their ongoing rivalry on television, Barnes and
Koivuniemi make a side bet that has involved things like the
gaudy Madras plaid pair of pants Koivuniemi was forced to
wear on television the last time he lost.
“We had a jersey bet on this one,” Barnes said of his WBT
win. “I, or my fans, or his daughters will get to design a jersey
that he’ll get to wear on a future TV show. And pretty much any-
thing goes as long as it’s legal for TV.”
In the women’s finals, Johnson advanced to the title match
after a thrilling 267-260 victory over PBA Tour titlist Kelly
Kulick of Union, N.J. But Johnson’s strike shot evaporated in the
title match. A 4-6-7 split in the second frame and a 4-6 in the
fourth put her in a hole she couldn’t escape.
“I’ve come in second a lot lately,” said Parkin, who lost to
Chicago’s Diandra Asbaty in the Australian Masters title match
prior to the WSOB and finished second to Kulick in the U.S.
Women’s Open earlier in the year. “Today I wasn’t going to let
that happen again. I kind of went out with a mindset that I was
going to make the pins strike. I know you can’t do that, but it was
the mindset I had.
“I only had one game, and I needed to throw 10 really good
shots, and I feel like I did. Luckily the pins fell my way and it
was enough to win.”
But for Parkin, the victory made her international travels worth
the effort.
“This year all of the travel has been particularly hard being
away from family and friends,” she said. “It’s really hard; a lot of
people don’t understand how much we travel. Winning this tour-
nament after two years and having to accumulate all those points
means so much.”
The second annual Bayer Advanced Aspirin WBT Finals pre-
sented by the PBA also signaled the start of a new points cycle
for the international series. Points earned in WTBA-PBA
International Tour events over the next 12 months will replace
points earned in the first year of the qualifying cycle, leading into
the third WBT Finals which will be part of PBA WSOB V in
November 2013.

2 SPORTS REPORTER December 19 - 25, 2012
There is no such thing as tour-
nament time---because there are
fine tournaments being conduct-
ed 12 months of the year.
Ever stop to think of how many
bowling tournaments are avail-
able in the world each year? An
educated guess might put the fig-
ure at more than 10,000.
There are big money, small
money and no money tourna-
ments. There are family, school,
church, business, profession, city,
county, state, sectional, national,
zone, continent and world tour-
naments. There are pro tourna-
ments and amateur tournaments
and pro-amateur tournaments.
There are singles, doubles and
team tournaments. There are
events for boys, girls, men,
women and mixed covering every
age. There are sibling tourna-
ments, husband and wife, father
and son, mother and daughter,
and any other relationship tour-
naments.
There are club tournaments
and shop tournaments and office
tournaments and religious tour-
naments. There are tournaments
for people who can't see or can't
walk or can't hear.
And with all that only a small
percentage of the number and
scope of the variety of bowling
tournaments staged annually
have been touched upon.
Yet, many bowlers never have
rolled in a tournament.
Let it be known that there is a
tournament for every bowler,
regardless of the size of your aver-
age---or budget. Look through
any bowling publication, check
the desk or bulletin board at your
bowling centers and read all your
communications and you're sure
to find one or two tournaments
designed just for you.
Tournament bowling is the
extra icing on the bowling cake.
Tournament bowling is fun, and
always profitable. It isn't always
profitable in a financial sense,
though many have won cash,
merchandise, trips, and other
goodies, large and small. But you
always enter into a new and excit-
ing phase of the sport where the
competition is different but the
game is the same.
How can you tell if a tourna-
ment is a good one? Check out
those conducting the tournament,
where it is being run, and read
closely all the rules and fine print
on the entry blank. A tourna-
ment survives only if bowlers are
given a fair shake and tourna-
ments don't last unless they have
needed participation.
In many tournaments, particu-
larly local and state and national
association events, plus most
charity tournaments, many dedi-
cated people work hours that
would stagger the imagination.
In some tournaments you can
win six figures or more. In others
you can't win much more than
satisfaction in being a player, and
or maybe a title and trophy, be it
thimble size or taller than you
are.
You can't gain the full rewards
bowling offers unless you roll in
tournaments even now and then.
So give your local or state tour-
nament a whirl. Don't miss some
of the fine competition your local
center offers. Check out tourna-
ment clubs. There is as wide a
variety in tournaments as there is
in the aims of bowlers but
bowlers can find the right one
with a little effort.
If you've never rolled a tourna-
ment, roll one in the near future.
If you have, roll one more.
There can be problems at times,
like when the nudist convention
ran a bowling tournament.
Nobody looked at the scores.

J o a n Ta y l o r ’s . . . . .
. . . . . . Te n P i n R a pDo you remember the scene from “A Christmas Story” when the fam-
ily was opening their gifts, and the mother plunked a heavy round
wrapped object onto the father’s lap? Obviously it was a bowling ball,
which reminded me of people’s intentions this time of year.
Unless your bowler wants a very specific item or items, it is best to
give a gift certificate to your/his/her favorite pro shop. The owner and
staff know what’s best from weight to fit, especially fit. I have had a cou-
ple of friends from casual daytime leagues in years past who had a less-
than-trained person drill a ball for them and it led to some serious phys-
ical problems.
There are many great pro shops whose people will make sure that your
gift will keep on giving (pleasure). But remember that bowling is still
subjective, and it’s the person rolling the ball, not the ball rolling the per-
son! Perhaps a gift certificate for coaching sessions will be an even bet-
ter gift!
Many thanks to Bobby Blackford for sending in results of the recent
“Pin Gobblers” youth tournament, held at Jersey Lanes in Linden. He
noted that in the (age) 10 and up division, Peter Hancock of Boonton
Lanes bested 42 other bowlers in his division. He bowled 387 pins over
his average for 7 games, earning $381 in scholarship dollars. This tour-
nament will be held again next year on “Black Friday” November 28,
2013. Check out Jerseylanes.com for other youth scholarship tourna-
ments.

NYS USBC Expands
Scholarship ProgramThe New York State USBC has
expanded its scholarship program
for the 2012-13 season to include
elementary and middle school stu-
dents.
The state bowling association
will award $16,000 in scholarships
-- $12,000 to graduating seniors,
$2,000 to students in grades K-7
and $2,000 to students in grades 8-
11. Previously, NYS USBC grants
were awarded only to 12th graders.
“Children begin their youth bowl-
ing experience at an early age, so we
believe that it is only right to reward
our young bowlers as they
progress,” said Kathy Leitgeb, chair-
person of the NYS USBC Youth
Education Services committee.
As a result, the state association
has created two new categories – a
Future Stars Award for athletes in
grades K-7 and a Youth Spirit
Award for athletes in grades 8-11.
Three students will receive scholar-
ships in each division – one $1,000
winner and two $500 winners.
To be eligible for a Future Stars
Award, youth bowlers must create
and submit a personal video,
answering the question, “Why Do
You Bowl?” To win a Youth Spirit
Award, youth league
coaches/instructors are asked to
nominate a youth bowler, based on
the criteria of sportsmanship, com-
mitment and leadership.
Five graduating seniors will
receive scholarships this season.
The NYS USBC is awarding two
$4,000 scholarships ($1,000 annu-
ally renewable up to four years),
one $2,000 scholarship and two
$1,000 scholarships. The two
$1,000 grants are being sponsored
by the NYS Youth Leaders.
Applications for all of these
scholarships can be filled out
online by clicking on the Youth
Scholarships tab of the NYS USBC
website – www.bowlny.com. The
deadline to apply for these awards
is Feb. 1, 2013.
For further information about the
scholarship program, contact
Leitgeb at 518-464-1176 or at nys-
bpa@aol.com.
December 19 - 25, 2012 SPORTS REPORTER 3
ARLINGTON, Texas - Team USA's Marshall Kent of
Yakima, Wash., reached the title match while teammate
Danielle McEwan of Stony Point, N.Y., finished fourth as
the 48th QubicaAMF World Cup concluded Saturday in
Wroclaw, Poland.
Kent, who took the men's division lead early, maintained
his advantage during match play to earn the top seed in the
three-person stepladder finals. In the title match, Kent
faced Malaysia's Syafiq Ridhwan Abdul Malek.
Kent started the first game of the best-of-three finals
with five consecutive strikes, but Malek stayed close.
When Kent had an open frame in the 10th, leaving the 4-
6-7 on his first shot, Malek took advantage for a 236-225
victory.
In a back-and-forth Game 2, Kent started with four
strikes but failed to convert a 2-4-8 split in the eighth.
Malek, after opening with two spares, strung together five
strikes and pulled away for a 237-221 victory to capture
the title.
"Unfortunately, the top-seed curse got to me," Kent said.
"I led the tournament but ended up second. It was still a
solid week overall and was still a good week of bowling.
Hopefully, one day I will be able to earn the spot again to
bowl the World Cup and win the Cup for the USA."
Kent started match play going 0-3. He then won his next
five matches to post an 8,339 pinfall total beat Colombia's
Andres Gomez by 78 pins for the top seed in the steplad-
der finals. Malek, meanwhile, had to win his final match
in match play to claim the final spot in the stepladder
finals.
Against Gomez in the semifinals, Malek lost the opening
game by two pins but won the final two games by scores
of 224-201 and 258-213 to set up the title match against
Kent.
In the women's division, McEwan entered match play in
fifth place looking to post wins to earn the 30-pin bonus
available in each match and possibly climb into the
stepladder finals. Despite a solid performance, McEwan
went 3-5 in match play and finished with an 8,158 pinfall
total, 286 pins out of third place.
"I started off really well and had some really good games
but didn't have luck on my side," said McEwan. "I lost my
first match shooting 258 and that kind of continued. I
know I had a couple of matches I shot 230s, 240s and
ended up losing. So those extra bonus pins I needed didn't
add up.
"I think I bowled well today. I have to walk away with
my head held high and use this as a learning experience. It
was a fun week and I learned a lot."
Two-time defending champion Aumi Guerra of the
Dominican Republic took the top seed for the stepladder
finals with an 8,457 pinfall total followed by England's
Kirsten Penny (8,445) and Singapore's Shayna Ng (8,444).
Ng swept Penny, 2-0, in the semifinals. In the title
match, Guerra took a 269-224 victory in Game 1 but Ng
came back in Game 2 to win 267-259 and force a deciding
game. Ng won the title with a 247-169 victory.
Kent and McEwan won their respective divisions at the
USBC Team USA Trials last January to earn the opportu-
nity to compete in the World Cup, one of the most presti-
gious singles titles in the world. The World Cup is the
largest international bowling tournament in the world, in
terms of the number of countries competing. This year's
event started with 81 men and 68 women from more than
80 countries.

Glen Rock junior Jake Rollins led Fair Lawn to a 4-3 win over
Bowler City III with 267-248: 709; it was his third “700” set in as
many appearances, leaving him with a lofty nine-game average of
243. Also scoring well for the victors were Steven Plaszky 199-
195 while Katrina Plaszky added an above average +18 score of
146. Pacing BC III was Tiffany Sucero who fired a season best
194-524, Patrick Sucero 182-521 and young Louis Ferrante 145.
Colette Malyack raised her average to 209 as she scuttled the
pins with 266,223-674 in leading Holiday II to a sweep of
Montvale; Joe Malyack added 226-610, Austin Hackett 214 and
Frank Olandesi 190 for the winners. Montvale’s Matt Russell left
what seemed to him to be a zillion 10-pins, but fortunately, he dis-
played his improved spare skills by converting them for a satisfy-
ing 193-517 score. Teammates’ Michaella Raab had three consis-
tent games to maintain her average, Katie Didonato 188 and Kyle
Ladewig 180.
Making his first appearance for Bowler City IV was Bergenfield
sophomore Greg Khan and he helped the team take three points
from Bowler City I with his 212-551 total. Nathan Tombo chipped
in with 195-517 as did Alijah Jackson with 192,185 and Nick
Ferrante 181. BC I won the tight finale, 935-923 to come away
with four points as anchor John Draney drilled the maples with
225,222-642 helping out were Vin Santoro with 228 and Ryan
Perez 191. Bowler City II swept its third straight match behind
