TAT Holiday Classic Champion Crowned at Mesa East Bowl David Richard of Prescott Valley came away with his first-ever tournament title of any kind at Mesa East Bowl over Thanksgiving weekend, November 24th-26th, and it was a big one! The 50-year-old lefty representing the 215 & Under Handicap Division held off a late charge from Dan Quilt, 46, of Maricopa in the title match to win $5,100 in the inaugural TAT Holiday Classic at Mesa East Bowl. This second TAT Desert Southwest tournament weekend was modeled after its Las Vegas parent by adding a VIP tournament paying $500 for first place along with the main event that paid $5,000+ for first place. Bowlers tackled a custom 39foot, low-volume, 3.86:1 lane pattern designed for this tournament which yielded relatively high scores, especially compared to the previous TAT at Cliff Castle in October, where scores were considerably lower. Although the pattern supported attacking the lane from a wide variety of angles, bowlers generally found very little hold in the middle of the lane and would often pay dearly for an errant shot. Nevertheless, the average cut score across all divisions in this event was 661 with handicap, and there were multiple cuts above 700. TAT paid out over $29,500 in cash and prizes to many of the 131 competitors who came out on a busy holiday weekend, rolling 201 main event entries and 142 VIP entries. The event kicked off on Friday morning with the first of four squads for the VIP side tournament. This was the first regional TAT to include a VIP, a mainstay of TAT national events in Las Vegas. VIP squads are always the first ones bowled after the lanes are re-oiled. The VIP is a 2-game beat-the-board event

Strike Force was at Bowlero Via Linda, December 3rd, with 105 total entries (83 qualifying and 22 parlays) paying out over $6K in main and side event prize funds. Ken Davis took home his 1st AHT SFT title and $1,200 first place prize. Congrats to Outhay Lalab on 2nd place for $750. Also congrats to Reggie Prince Elliott on 3rd place for $370.

David Richard, TAT Holiday Classic champion and John Verbil, TAT Desert Southwest Director where only the highest score (with handicap) counts and all divisions are combined. Bowlers use VIP squads as a low-risk way to test out the lane pattern on a fresh condition while still having a chance to win some money if they should toss a high game, while also getting a feel for how they want to play the lanes in the main event. Ultimately, Shawna Strause of Tucson (268+11) and Chris Gregory of Mesa (279+0) tied for the first place prize of $500 with a 279 score, splitting the first and second place money for $350 each. The main event consisted of nine qualifying squads spread across three days with the TAT Finals on Sunday afternoon. After each two qualifying squads, a cut of 1-in-6 per division was made for the Sunday Finals. This means there were two cuts on Friday, another two cuts on Saturday, and a final, single-squad cut on Sunday morning. The 33 bowlers who advanced to the finals returned at Noon on Sunday, bowling single-game eliminator matches against one to five other bowlers within their respective divisions, narrowing down the field until

only one bowler remained in each division. Each division winner was guaranteed a minimum of $1,000 and a shot at the $5,000 first prize in the Grand Final match between all of the division winners. In the 50+ Senior Handicap Division, Marcus Haley, 51, of Peoria, who was bowling in his firstever TAT, made the cut with a 624 qualifying score (with handicap) and reached the championship title match with a 220 (204+16), defeating Eddie Thompson of Mesa with 183 (167+16) and Brian Waugh of Phoenix with 177 (175+2). In the Women’s Handicap Division, Hayley Ellis, 52, of Gilbert, who - in her words - was only “here for my kid,” made the cut with a 644 qualifying score (with handicap) and advanced to the championship round with a 243 (203+40), defeating Stephanie Sell of Mesa with 198 (152+46). The winner of the 189 & Under Handicap Division, James Strang, 28, of Phoenix, who gave a shoutout to Alley Cat Action, qualified for the finals with a whopping 763 hand-

TAT Holiday Classic Champion (continued from page 1) icap series and advanced to the title match with a 222 (181+41) over Edward Polansky of Phoenix with 212 (182+30) and Chuck Lucas of Surprise with 181 (144+37). To reach the title match from the Scratch Division, Dan Quilt made the cut with a 653 qualifying score and advanced to the title match with a 202, defeating Tyler Bryant of Colorado Springs (187) and Dylan Taylor of Scottsdale (127). Eventual champion David Richard qualified from the 215 & Under Handicap Division with a huge 723 handicap series. He reached the title match with a 189 (169+20) over Kyler Adams of Chandler with 178 (168+10) and Kenny Koen of Tempe with 165 (145+20). Each of the five division winners faced off in a single-game match with handicap for the title. All five finalists entered the Progressive Pot, which increases with each tournament entry and was carried over from the previous event, the TAT Cliff Castle Classic. On the championship pair, the pocket proved elusive for most of the competitors throughout the match, so the ones who left makeables and picked them up put themselves in a position to win. Going into the 10th frame, the outcome was very much in doubt with Ellis, Quilt, and Richard all still having an opportunity to come out on top. Richard had a double in the 8th and 9th to hold the lead going in, but Quilt, who had a strike up in the 9th, had a chance to put the pressure on him with a strong finish, and he did just that by throwing three pure, dead flush strikes in the 10th. This mathematically eliminated Ellis and forced Richard to mark in the 10th to take the victory. Richard’s first shot was just wide of the target, leaving the 3-pin. He picked up his spare, and so then it was simply a matter of getting 7 or better on his last shot. He got 9 and came away with the victory! Because Richard was entered into the Progressive Pot, he not only won an automatic $1,000 bonus to achieve the $5,000 top prize, but he had a chance to win up to 70% of the remaining pot by throwing three strikes in a row across three lanes after his victory. He ultimately struck only once on three attempts to claim 10% of the $1,000 available, giving him a grand total of $5,100 for his victory. The remainder of the Progressive Pot will carry over to the next TAT Desert Southwest event. Richard, a lefty who was raised in a family of bowlers and first learned to bowl in Germany, had never won a bowling tournament prior to this one, having three second place finishes on his resume before now. He kept a decidedly low-tech approach to the Finals, throwing an AMF Blue Angle much of the time around the first arrow. He had noticed that many people with high-tech balls were struggling quite a bit on the fresh condition in the Finals, and he found that his trusty Blue Angle gave him a good, consistent look. He remarked afterward that he was remarkably calm throughout

(left to right) 4th place James Strang, 189 & Under Div. (129+26=155) $1,250; 2nd place Dan Quilt, Scratch Div. (203+0=203) $2,000; Champion David Richard, 215 & Under Div. (193+13=206) $5,100; 3rd place Hayley Ellis, Women’s Div. (172+25=197) $1,500; 5th place Marcus Haley, 50+ Senior Div. (133+14=147) $1,000; TAT Desert Southwest Director John Verbil the event, and wasn’t even aware at the time that he needed a mark in the tenth to win. He just focused on repeating his shots and making his spares. Richard has many people to thank for his tournament performance, starting first with his Lord

and Savior Jesus Christ, to whom he attributed giving him great peace and the sense of it being “his time” in the final match. He would also like to thank his manager for helping him in many ways as well as a couple who bought his car, along with Jody who bought him the RV that he lives in.

He would also like to thank his very supportive church family, especially for all the prayers on his behalf. TAT Desert Southwest would like to thank tournament sponsors Storm Bowling, Coolwick, TAT Las Vegas, B3 Performance, and Goldfield Ghost Town for their generous prize giveaways during the tournament and for their support of True Amateur Tournaments. TAT also thanks Erika and her entire terrific staff at Mesa East Bowl for doing an absolutely amazing job hosting this event. After another great TAT regional event, the focus switches back to the TAT Amateur Nationals in Las Vegas from February 19th-25th, 2024 at the Gold Coast Hotel & Casino, which will pay $30,000 for first place with a shot at the $83,000+ Progressive Pot. The next TAT Desert Southwest regional will be held at Bowlero Mesa on March 16th-17th, 2024, with additional events on the docket for later in the year. Enter all TAT events online at tatbowl.com.

champs and finalists

Rene Canez and Jon Abigania had the antidotes, capturing JBT titles in 'pick your poison' format action at Bowlero Tucson. In this format, top seeded bowlers choose who they want to bowl in a matchplay bracket. Sixteen finalists were carved down to four in each division. In scratch, Katelyn Abigania outstruck Juan Canez 259-234, while Rene Canez (no relation) got past Mason Snow 240-212 to set up the title match. The day's pattern had played tricky in qualifying, but the talented field really opened it up in matchplay, with Brock Bivins and Canez each throwing their first JBT 300s, with Rene adding a 289 later for good measure. The final was a scorefest as well, with each throwing great shots and putting up Xs. In the end, Canez' clutch tenth frame double shut out Katelyn, and the win earned him his first career JBT title. The handicap final four featured two of the Cactus 'mafia', but they went to bowl with the fishes in that round, with Katelyn's brother Jon Abigania stopping Sam Winemiller 221-198, and Peyton Lee halting Miguel Espinoza 220-160 to set up the final game. Lee had been lucky to get in the field when one qualifier could not continue, and made the most of it to get all the way to the final, but the luck ran out there. Jon rolled a big game to avenge Katelyn's loss and claim the 6th title of his still young JBT career, making it over 20 titles combined for the amazing Abigania kids! Katelyn was able to sweep the girls scratch weekend, this time with a win over Mackenzie Paige, while Jason Gootzeit, beat Daryus Alo for the U17 win (in the first game of matchplay when top seed Alo chose him for the round one match). Big thanks as always to JBT alum Jacob and his team for their usual great hosting job! Want in on all the fun for all ages and skill levels? Just check out our schedule, and come on down!

GCU Bowling finishes 1st at West Coast Collegiate Championships Lopes sweep USBC Ranking points over weekend by: Noah Powers/GCU Club Sports Writing Staff The Grand Canyon University Men's Bowling team secured their first United States Bowling Congress Collegiate tournament win of the season at the West Coast Collegiate Team Championships in Fresno, California, finishing in first place at the Day 2 event on Sunday. The Lopes bowled well to start Day 1 of the event, earning a firstround bye in bracket play thanks to their overall total pinfall of 7230. In the ensuing round of eight, GCU beat San Jose State University JV, but then lost to Fresno State University in the semifinal round. "We were definitely focused on correcting what happened in our previous tournaments," said GCU Bowler Anthony Scharton. "We put an emphasis on our communication and made sure to do a better job of helping each other make adjustments." The second day featured a much more complete effort from GCU, but also a different format for competition. The Lopes bowled three team-game matches followed by eight two-game Baker matches and one final fourgame Baker match position round to complete their championship run Sunday. Grand Canyon went 9-3 to secure their victory, beating Arizona State University in a crucial positionround match along the way. "One of our key words from this weekend was capitalize," said Scharton. "Regardless of how the weekend started, there were going to be moments - either created by our team or

our competition - for us to capitalize and get ahead." One unique angle to the weekend was the absence of GCU Head Coach Ben Canfield. Assistant coaches Matt Adragna and Riley Dempsey stepped up to lead the squad over the weekend. "We definitely missed Coach Canfield, but [his absence] also allowed us to really show our belief in the entire coaching staff," said Scharton. "We have remarkable depth in both the athletes and the coaching staff, and there's a great deal of trust that goes both ways." For Scharton himself, much like the GCU Bowling team, the season to this point has been about building confidence and momentum. After rehabilitating a surgically repaired ligament on his right wrist, nothing is taken for granted. Two top-10 individual finishes this weekend and a team sweep of USBC ranking points (thanks to total pinfall on the weekend) is certainly a great way to start his senior campaign. "It was definitely a grind to get back," said Scharton. "I was in a cast for three months and then began physical therapy as soon as I could after that. I owe a lot to my coaches and teammates for giving me confidence to get right back to it." Now the Lopes' squad has a week until it departs for Las Vegas, Nevada, for the Glenn Carlson Las Vegas Invitational and Collegiate Shootout tournaments on December 18-19 and 20-21, respectively.

Coach Preble and the Fresno State thanks everyone for coming out to the West Coast Collegiate Team Championships in Fresno, CA, December 2-3. Congratulations to ACU (photo above) for taking day 1 championship and GCU (photo below) for taking the day 2 championship! Also would like to congratulate UCD's Jason Gee for being both days high average bowler. 2nd place for day 1 went to ACU's Cesar Padilla

Cortez Schenck Wins the 2023 Harry Golden PBA Rookie of the Year Award

Schenck graduates from an exemplary youth and amateur career to earn the PBA’s top rookie honor

After leading all rookies on the 2023 PBA Tour in points, earnings and average, Phoenix’s Cortez Schenck has been named the 2023 Harry Golden PBA Rookie of the Year. Schenck received 55.3% of the votes from PBA members and the media. Andrew Hall finished second with 16.1% of votes, followed by Dallas Leong, Ramsey Basurto and Nate Stubler. “I’m super honored and happy to win the award. That was the goal going into the season,” Schenck said. “I have high respect for a lot of the rookies that were out there this year. There were a lot of really good bowlers that I’ve bowled against throughout the years. I know it was not easy for me, so I can imagine it was a mental grind for a lot of us.” Schenck, 24, started the season slow as he struggled to crack the main field from the pre-tournament qualifiers. He said he got inside his own head as he struggled to meet lofty internal and external expectations. “I just wasn't trusting myself,” Schenck said. “I was pressing really hard just because I had higher expectations than what was happening. I couldn’t give myself an opportunity to showcase anything or show myself what I can do.” As a youth player, Schenck won the 2013 U15 Junior Gold Championships and a record 99 Junior Bowlers Tour (JBT) titles across the southwestern U.S. Schenck won nine gold medals across six years as a member Junior Team USA (2016-2021). He also made Team USA in 2018 after winning that year’s U.S. Amateur title, defeating 2021 PBA Rookie of the Year Matt Russo in the final match. During the USBC Masters at the end of March, Schenck said his girlfriend and two other friends visited from back home in Arizona. Their visit changed the trajectory of his rookie season. “It brought me back to reality and loosened me up,” Schenck said. “It reminded me that there were only a few tournaments left and to just do the best that I could. It felt like it couldn’t get much worse and I had nothing to lose.” Over his final four tournaments, Schenck notched three top-25 finishes, including a season-high finish of 10th in the Roth/Holman PBA

Doubles Championship presented by Bally's Dover Casino Resort with Michael Fitzgerald. Growing up, Schenck said the main player he admired was Mike Fagan. “The high swing, high rev rate — Fagan was the guy you wanted to throw it like if you were one-handed,” Schenck said. In recent years, Schenck said Anthony Simonsen, Jason Belmonte and particularly Darren Tang are three players he’s learned from. “Darren’s given me some advice over the last couple of years and he's been super supportive of me,” Schenck said. “I’m always really comfortable talking to him. I think we see the lanes pretty similarly, so sometimes I try to model my game after what he's doing because he is a good player as well. Schenck intended on bowling the 2022 PBA Tour season. He made the West Region Finals of the PBA Players Championship, which was the first tournament of the season. After his father Stephen passed away in February, Schenck stepped away from the lanes for several months to grieve and help run his father’s business. He later bowled the 2022 USBC Masters, but because he bowled in just two events he retained rookie eligibility for 2023. “My dad meant everything to me,” Schenck said. “He was with me every step of the way for anything bowling-related. He went to all my tournaments and was my biggest supporter for sure.” When Schenck returned to PBA competition in the West Region in June, he reminded the bowling world of his immense talent. He won his first two PBA Regional Tour events of the season, then finished runner-up in the next two. Ultimately, he earned the West Region’s Rookie of the Year award for 2022. After taking his talents to the national tour, Schenck said his dad would be super proud and happy. “Winning Rookie of the Year was definitely one of those goals he had for me,” Schenck said “I think right now he'd be telling me, ‘Great job, I’m proud of you. But still, you could do a lot better.’ “I’m looking forward to hopefully bouncing off my rookie season and improving next year.”

Doing The Work Of The Lord

by Dave Williams As I continued looking through the incredible files of Henry Kaven, the “boss” of the AMF Advisory Staff of Champions, I came upon the photos and promotional write-up for Paula Sperber-Carter, a lifelong resident of Miami, Florida. As a teenager, Paula worked at the famous Miami Coliseum Bowling Palace. It was there that she developed her love for the game and eventually joined the PWBA at the age of eighteen. Just a couple of years later, she pocketed close to $15,000 in total earnings, including a victory at the U.S. Open that was valued at $4,000. Paula signed with the AMF staff as a result of winning the U.S. Open. She looked back fondly and remembered beating another AMF staffer, June Llewellyn from Pompano Beach, Florida. “On the first ball I lost my balance and spun around twice, waving my arms like a big bird,” said Paula in an article that appeared in Sports Illustrated (“She Never Played With Dolls,” by Pat Putnam).

Paula Carter (left) signs first AMF Pro Staff contract, with Woody Woodruff of AMF (1971) “She got the strike,” wrote Putnam, “and then a second, and finally nine pins to finish with a 215. Llewellyn left a 4-6 split and missed both pins for a 214.” It was an auspicious start to Paula’s professional career in bowling that was cut short by what doctors told her was PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder. “I think it started when I was

January 13, 2024 - Devil's Dual, Glenfair Lanes January 14, 2024 - Antelope Shootout, Glenfair Lanes

sent to Japan for a series of exhibitions,” recalled Carter in a phone interview earlier this week. “While in Sapporo, a remote area in the very northern part of the country, I encountered a ‘panic attack’ brought on by desolation and loneliness.” Paula said that she never fully recovered from that experience, and after winning a second U.S. Open in 1975, she decided to call it quits. “I called Woody Woodruff and told him that I couldn’t handle the travel anymore.” Her last appearance was for the Beat the Champs telecast in Chicago, with “The Tenpin Tattler,” Sam Weinstein. She beat PBA pro Don Johnson by 40 pins. Meeting Don Carter When I asked Paula about how she met Don Carter, she thought back to how Eddie Elias, founder of the PBA, called her to see if she could help with Don’s visit to Miami. “Eddie was my business manager, and he said that Don had just gone through a divorce and had never been to Miami, and maybe I could show him around and make him feel at home.” The rest, as they say, is history. The two dated for four years, followed by a marriage that lasted 36 years, until Don’s death in 2012. They both shared in a disdain for travel — Don on airplanes and Paula in automobiles, so they kept close to home and built an empire of bowling centers with the assistance of partners in Illinois, Ohio, Texas, Louisiana and Florida. “Paula and I really miss Kendall Lanes because we practically lived there for 30 years,” Carter told Dick Evans of the Miami Herald in 2006. “We would hang out there a lot because it was close to our home. We had a lot of close friends at Kendall and miss seeing them all the time.” Kendall Lanes, like so many other bowling

centers, was purchased by a development firm that converted the space into a shopping center that includes Starbucks, Staples, Walgreen’s, Panera Bread, and all the other usual culprits. Paula Carter Today After her retirement from the PWBA, Paula used the additional free time to volunteer at the Family Resource Center of South Florida (frcflorida.org). “We started with a budget of around $100,000 in 1978, and today we are the leader in child welfare services in South Florida,” stated Carter. “The goal of the organization is to prevent and change dysfunctional parent and child interaction patterns, promote self-concepts and build healthy relationships to prevent the abuse of children,” said Paula. It was during this time that Paula met and became very attached to a crack baby that was left at the center. The 2 year old was attracted to Carter because she resembled the child’s mother. Paula befriended the mom as well and discussed the possibility of adopting the 2 year old named John. But first she would need to discuss this with Mr. Carter. Paula came home one day from the Resource Center and told Don, “You’re going to need to sit down for this one.” As she told him about her interest in the 2 year old, Don expressed some reservation and told Paula that he wasn’t sure if he was ready to go through the process of adopting a 2 year old, since he had already experienced raising children. But with some coaxing from Paula, Don agreed to visit the Resource Center and meet John. “When we sat down, John reached out to Don and touched him,” said Paula. “That was all it took.” John is now 42 years old and on his own. Paula continued, “He talks all the time about Don and misses him very much, as we all do.” The Carter’s also fostered a son named Robert from Boys Town, who is now 56 and has multiple sclerosis. Paula continues her volunteer work today at The Palace in Kendall (thepalace.org), a center for senior citizens. She currently works as a volunteer for dementia patients. “It’s interesting that we are known more for what we have done outside bowling than for our involvement in bowling here in Miami.” Paula has found her unique niche in this life, doing the work of the Lord. What an amazing life story… ____________________ • Photo provided by Dave Williams, from the files of Henry Kaven Dave's Corner artwork created by Lynn Matsubara of Cal USBC Newsletter To contact Dave Williams: herb@desertbowler.com

Belmonte Selects Barrett First Overall in PBA Elite League Draft by: Nolan Hughes Nine 0players in PBA history have won the Triple Crown. Two of them now bowl for the Bowlero L.A. X. Jason Belmonte, the new player-manager of the L.A. X, selected Dom Barrett first overall in the PBA Elite League Draft on Wednesday night. Belmonte later added Tomas Käyhkö, Darren Tang and Keven Williams to join himself and Kevin McCune. The PBA Elite League is an expansion of the PBA League, featuring six-player rosters, matches at every 2024 PBA Tour stop, and a six-team PBA Elite League Playoffs Finals at Bayside Bowl in September 2024. Each of the league’s eight managers previously announced two protected players from their 2023 roster, leaving 32 roster spots to be filled out during Wednesday night’s draft, which was livestreamed on BowlTV. To be eligible for selection, players must have finished in the top 50 on the 2023 points list or have been on a 2023 PBA League roster and won a PBA Tour title within the past 10 years. In the final round, the four players who did not meet the above criteria but were on 2023 PBA League rosters were eligible to be drafted. The Waco Wonders, who drafted eighth overall in the traditional order, were unable to recover any players from their championship squad beyond the protected Ryan Ciminelli and player-manager Parker Bohn III. The New Jersey KingPins scooped up BJ Moore fourth overall, the Motown Muscle seized Jason Sterner early in the second round, and Norm Duke swiped Frank Snodgass two picks before Bohn could even think about bringing back the young Michiganite in the final round. Bohn, much like his predecessor Johnny Petraglia, appeared to value experience in the draft pool. He selected Stu Williams, Mitch Hupé, DJ Archer and Tom Hess with his four selections. Bohn made his selections from Cali, Colombia, where he — and his fourth-round selection, Hess — are competing for Senior Team USA at the International Bowling Federation 2023 World Senior Championships. The team Waco defeated in the 2023 Elias Cup Finals, however, had no such trouble securing their own guys. In fact, Portland Lumberjack manager Tim Mack was able to bring back his entire roster from 2023. Mack first protected Kyle Troup and Kris Prather last week. Then on Wednesday, he selected “Franchise” Wes Malott, Graham Fach and Arturo Quintero, while mixing in two-time major champion Tom Smallwood for good measure. Mark Baker deployed a similar strategy with his Akron Atom Splitters. Baker tabbed Tom Daugherty for a ninth consecutive year with the Atom Splitters and rekindled his coaching relationship with the 2015

Mark Roth PBA League MVP, Dick Allen. Amleto Monacelli paired the protected Andrew Anderson and AJ Johnson with the 2019 Roth/Holman PBA Doubles Championship victors, Matt Ogle and Sean Rash, while bringing back Matt Russo and adding Thomas Larsen to his Las Vegas High Rollers. Among the biggest surprises during the draft was the fall of Jakob Butturff, who finished fourth on the 2023 points list and earned a nomination for the Chris Schenkel PBA Player of the Year award. Norm Duke, as he often seems to do, perhaps pulled off the heist of the draft in selecting Butturff with the 22nd overall pick for the Go Bowling! Dallas Strikers. While Butturff said he understands why he fell in the draft — he said he dealt with a leg injury during the 2023 PBA League and said he “wasn’t in the right mind space” at the time — he said he is feeling a lot better and focused heading into the new year. Two players will be making their debut in the PBA’s highest level of team competition — both for the Motown Muscle. Justin Knowles, who was the highest ranked player in points not selected last season, and Zac Tackett were each selected by Motown’s new manager Jason Couch. Zac is the younger brother of EJ Tackett, Motown’s leading man alongside Anthony Simonsen. December 13th turned out to be a memorable night in more ways than one for the Tackett family. During the draft, EJ’s wife Natalie posted on Facebook that the couple welcomed their first child into the world. Unfortunately, it will be quite some time before the world’s youngest Tackett can earn his own eligibility for the PBA Elite League. Santtu Tahvanainen was the highest ranked player who went undrafted. PBA Commissioner Tom Clark said during the draft that Tahvanainen, the 2022 Harry Golden PBA Rookie of the Year, is dealing with an injury and may miss the beginning of the 2024 season. While the draft is complete, rosters are not final as trades can be made through Dec. 23. The trading window will reopen from March 4-14.
