By Bill Vint | PBA TOKYO, Japan – Professional Bowlers Association Hall of Famer Amleto Monacelli ended an 11-year PBA Tour title drought and became the 14th player to win 20 PBA Tour titles when he defeated top qualifier Dom Barrett of England, 255-233, to win the DHC PBA Japan Invitational at Tokyo Port Bowl and collected $40,000 for the win. Barrett earned $20,000 for his runner-up finish. “Japan has always been a great atmosphere for me,” the 54-year- old Monacelli said. “That’s where my career really got started. It felt like it was the late 1980s, when I could do something no one else could do. A lot of things were dif- ferent, but I believe it was as good a performance as I’ve ever had.” Monacelli, who began his PBA career in 1982, made 16 television finals and finished second seven times before winning his first title in the 1987 Japan Cup. He went on to win PBA Player of the Year honors in 1989 and 1990, and  beca me the first inter natio nal  player inducte d into th e PBA Hall of Fame in 1997. He is now divid- ing time between the PBA Tour and the PBA50 Tour, where he has won five titles including three major championships. His lengthy title slump in PBA Tour competition, he admits, has nothing to do with his legendary  physical fitness routin e and every- thing to do with his “stubborn- ness” in adapting to the changing competitive environment in pro- fessional bowling. “I’ve been looking for a title for a long time,” he said. “It wasn’t  because I was performing bad, but over the last three years I’ve got a lot more knowledge about the equipment and moving on the lanes, and that has given me an advantage along with my physical shape, which I’ve worked on my whole life. “When I was bowling before all of this new equipment, it was more about how you performed – throw the ball harder, throw it softer, move around, change hand  positions. Now it’s more about what ball to throw and when to throw it. You can perform well,  but you have to have the right equipment, too. In Japan, I had the right ball at the right time to get a reaction no one else had.” Monacelli earned his shot at the DHC PBA Japan Invitational title with a 275-221 win over defend- ing champion Chris Barnes of Double Oak, Texas, in the semifi- nal match. Barnes, returning to PBA competition for the first time since undergoing surgery in early October to repair a damaged disc in his back, started the stepladder finals with a 227-220 win over Japan’s Shota Kawazoe followed  by a 232-202 victory over John Szczerbinski of North Tonawanda,  N.Y .

By Bill Vint | PBA

TOKYO, Japan – Professional

Bowlers Association Hall of 

Famer Amleto Monacelli ended an11-year PBA Tour title drought

and became the 14th player to win

20 PBA Tour titles when he

defeated top qualifier Dom Barrett

of England, 255-233, to win the

DHC PBA Japan Invitational at

Tokyo Port Bowl and collected

$40,000 for the win. Barrett

earned $20,000 for his runner-up

finish.

“Japan has always been a great

atmosphere for me,” the 54-year-

old Monacelli said. “That’s where

my career really got started. It felt

like it was the late 1980s, when I

could do something no one else

could do. A lot of things were dif-

ferent, but I believe it was as good

a performance as I’ve ever had.”

Monacelli, who began his PBA

career in 1982, made 16 television

finals and finished second seven

times before winning his first title

in the 1987 Japan Cup. He went on

to win PBA Player of the Year 

honors in 1989 and 1990, and

 became the first international

 player inducted into the PBA Hall

of Fame in 1997. He is now divid-

ing time between the PBA Tour 

and the PBA50 Tour, where he has

won five titles including three

major championships.

His lengthy title slump in PBA

Tour competition, he admits, has

nothing to do with his legendary

 physical fitness routine and every-

thing to do with his “stubborn-

ness” in adapting to the changing

competitive environment in pro-

fessional bowling.

“I’ve been looking for a title for 

a long time,” he said. “It wasn’t

 because I was performing bad, but

over the last three years I’ve got a

lot more knowledge about the

equipment and moving on the

lanes, and that has given me an

advantage along with my physical

shape, which I’ve worked on mywhole life.

“When I was bowling before all

of this new equipment, it was

more about how you performed – 

throw the ball harder, throw it

softer, move around, change hand

 positions. Now it’s more about

what ball to throw and when to

throw it. You can perform well,

 but you have to have the right

equipment, too. In Japan, I had the

right ball at the right time to get a

reaction no one else had.”

Monacelli earned his shot at the

DHC PBA Japan Invitational title

with a 275-221 win over defend-

ing champion Chris Barnes of 

Double Oak, Texas, in the semifi-

nal match. Barnes, returning to

PBA competition for the first time

since undergoing surgery in early

October to repair a damaged disc

in his back, started the stepladder 

finals with a 227-220 win over 

Japan’s Shota Kawazoe followed

 by a 232-202 victory over John

Szczerbinski of North Tonawanda,

 N.Y.

SHAWNEE, Okla. - One-time

PBA Tour winner Anthony

Pepe of Elmhurst, N.Y., got

his FireLake PBA Tournament

of Champions week off to a

flying start by winning the

PBA Grand Casino, Hotel &

Resort Winter Open regional

at the FireLake Bowling

Center.

Pepe erased a 71-pin deficit

in the final position round

match by defeating 2015 PBA

Xtra Frame Lubbock Open

winner and Rolltech PBA

World Championship runner-

up EJ Tackett of Huntington,

Ind., 278-182. Pepe ended the

match play with a 7-1 record

and 5,159 21-game pinfall total

(including bonus pins) while

Tackett finished second with a

6-2 record and 5,104 pinfall.

“I kind of resigned myself to

finishing second,” said Pepe,

who won his fourth regional

title. “Having a ‘didn’t have

anything to lose’ mentality

 probably relaxed me and in

that last match I just started

throwing strikes.”

Pepe, the 2014 PBA Cheetah

Championship winner, and

Tackett, are both part of the

79-player field competing in

the FireLake PBA Tournament

of Champions when qualify-

ing began at the FireLake

Bowling Center.

“It’s a confidence boost,”

Pepe said of his win. “But I

can’t over-analyze it because a

lot can change. One thing is for 

sure, I’ll be in good shape

mentally.”

SHAWNEE, Okla. - PBA50 Tour 

standout Pete Couture of Cocoa,

Fla., former South Region

Manager Harry O’Neale of 

Ravenel, S.C., and former PBA

Tour announcer Denny Schreiner 

of Akron, Ohio, were inducted

into the Professional Bowlers

Association Hall of Fame during

ceremonies at the Grand CasinoHotel Resort.

Couture was elected in the

PBA50 Performance category

 based on his exceptional record

for a minimum of 10 years as a

“senior” competitor. On the heels

of a 24-year career as a PBA Tour 

competitor, when he won five

standard PBA titles, Couture

 began his PBA50 career in 1995

when he earned PBA50 Rookie of 

the Year honors. He won the first

of nine PBA50 Tour titles in Reno

in 1996, and captured a pair of 

USBC Senior Masters titles in

1998 (when he was selected as

PBA50 Player of the Year) and2002.

“If it wasn’t

for the senior 

(PBA50) tour I

wouldn’t be

here,” said

Couture. “The

senior tour was a

second chance

and an opportu-

nity to re-inventmyself.

“Bowling on

the senior tour 

was like being

with family,” he

added. “Some of my greatest

memories came from bowling on

the Senior Tour. I think everyone

who bowls for a living dreams of 

getting in the hall of fame because

there’s no higher honor.”

O’Neale built the PBA South

Region tournament program into

the organization’s most successful

 proving ground for aspiring young

 players over a span of 31 years

 before his retirement in 2011. Aone-time PBA Tour competitor,

O’Neale assumed a regional pro-

gram with fewer than 200 mem-

 bers and built it into a membership

of more than 900 members, fre-

quently traveling thousands of 

miles while conducting more than

40 weekend tournaments a year.

“In all the years I was with PBA

I had so many great people around

me to make it work and I couldn’t

have done it without them,”

O’Neale said. “It’s been a long

way but a lot of fun. Over theyears I gave a way a lot of awards

 but didn’t get

that many

myself, so this

is a great honor 

for me.

“I’m very

 proud of the

growth we had

in the (PBA’s)

south region,”O’Neale added.

“I wanted the

 bowlers in our 

 part of the coun-

try to be proud

of our region and I knew if they

were they would keep coming

 back and bowl in our tourna-

ments.”

Schreiner, who served as the

ESPN television voice of the PBA

 between 1986 and 1995, also was

a skilled bowler who joined the

PBA media staff as the PBA Tour 

Broadcast Director shortly after 

his graduation from the University

of Akron. As PBA’s play-by-play

announcer on ESPN, he quickly

 became popular for his ability to

apply his knowledge as a bowler 

to the telecasts, working in harmo-

ny with fellow PBA Hall of Famer 

Mike Durbin as his color analyst.

“I grabbed the brass ring when I

got the PBA (announcing) job and

never let go,” Schreiner said. “To be involved with all the great peo-

 ple who built and worked with

PBA over the years, you can’t

explain in your wildest dreams

what it means to be standing up

here.”

Also, as part of the evening’s

festivities, Jason Belmonte, Jesper 

Svensson, Josh Blanchard and Ed

Godbout were officially presented

with the GEICO Chris Schenkel

PBA Player of the Year, Harry

Golden Rookie of the Year, Steve

 Nagy Sportsmanship and Tony

Reyes Community Service

Awards, respectively.

By Vince Albrecht

WEST HAVERSTRAW, NY – 

Front-running Bowler City III

continued its recent surge in the

Stan Niemiec YTL, winning its

fifth straight match, amassing

thirty-one points in that stretch, by

sweeping past Fair Lawn, 2924-

2767. Enjoying a hot hand was St

Joseph junior Nathan Tombo, who

followed up last week’s strong 667

threesome with a better trey, 213-

223-248: 684, the afternoon’s best

triple; lifting his average to justshy of 200, Nathan is anchoring a

squad currently on a tear:

Ridgefield Park sophomore Derek 

Lewandowski, [192 avg], posted

215: 584, Bergenfield senior Nick 

Reyes, [191 avg], scored 214: 598

and Bergenfield sophomore Peter 

Bondy nailed a 213. The leaders

needed those numbers because

Fair Lawn pressed them

admirably: Steve Plaszky 211:

601, Madison Perry 234, Nick 

Greco 204 and Jake Nappi 184.

Host Hi-Tor had its hands full in

the faceoff against Bowler City I,

managing to snare four points by

exploding a bevy of deuces:

Brandon Smith 226-234-209: 669,

 Nino Sparta 235-200: 617, Nick 

Sparta 229 and Johnny Toscano

210-209. Pounding the pin deck 

for BC I were Anthony Rizzo 261:

641 and Kyle Schellberg 235. In

Anthony’s odd score, the Passaic

Tech senior fired four strikes out

of the gate, left three pins [a split],missed them entirely, and then

went out the door with seven

strikes. Twelve deliveries, eleven

strikes and an open frame…rarely

happens, you think? In Montvale’s

5-2 victory over Holiday II,

Pascack Valley sophomore Henry

Tipping’s 264 middle game was

similar: five strikes, an open

frame, and off the sheet with a six-

timer [ask “The Hammer” a‘ham-

 bone’ plus two!]. Henry also tal-

lied a 210, finishing with a 621

while the aforementioned

“Hammer” aka Joseph Mahoney,

 blas ted 236-227: 620; Nick 

Fabiano added a 191. Carrying the

offense for Holiday II were Jared

Duncan 231-196: 598, Tom

Chamberlain 224: 594 and Devin

Crowley 213-196.

 Northern Highlands senior Allie

Woodhouse swept the pins off 

their comfort zone with games of 

212-203, Louis Ferrante scored a

214 and Olivia Wank 198 in liftingBowler City II into third place

with a sweep of Boonton. The lat-

ter’s best effort was Adam

Gelvan’s 181 single.

In other play, Holiday I barely

scaled the vacancy mark, earning

five of seven points by taking

game three by seven sticks and the

wood point by ten sticks. Jon

Mormando posted 213-212, Ryan

McGuire 203-196 and David Neil

a pair of 193s.
