Congratulations to our season division champions!

Masters - Camdynn Burns

    Camdynn competed in 7 tournaments, won twice, and earned the Bowlers Excellence Award by completing 3 clean games at Stop 2.  

 

Classic - Dylan Ragland

    Dylan competed in 6 tournaments and won once. 

 

Minors - Tristan Peacock

    Tristan competed in 5 tournaments and won once.  We look forward to his accomplishments next season as a Classic bowler.

 

Bowlers Excellence Award - Bowlers are rewarded for demonstrating hard work in developing a solid bowling game.  SSJBA promoted spare-conversion and a fundamental skill necessary for on-lane success.  This program rewards bowlers in 3 ways.  The first is each clean game earns the bowler a unique decal; the second is if the bowler can complete 3 clean games during the 5 games of qualifying, the bowler will be awarded a $100 scholarship; and finally, at the end of the season, the top 3 bowlers with the most clean games will earn scholarships.  We have an eagle-topped perpetual trophy that bowlers can have thier names added to by 2 ways.  Shoot 3 clean during qualifying and heve the most clean games at the end of the season.

    This season, the most clean was completed by TJ Yarnell who did this by shooting 3 clean at Stop 9, our final regular season tournament.  TJ and Camdynn Burns added thier names to the trophy being the second and third to do so since the trophy inception 5 years ago.  Great job!

 

    We are headed towards the end of season.  Reminder that in order for a bowler to be elligibe for our end of season torunamnet, they must have participated in 4 regular season tournaments.  I will be sending out the invitation to the qualified bowlers to get thier attendance intensions soon.
