Sarah O'Brien Blasted 300 At Coram Country Lanes LAS VEGAS – Brad Angelo of Lockport, N.Y, with two strikes and an eight- count in the 10th frame, ended four years of frustration with a 233-232 victory over Finland’s Mika Koivuniemi to win the Professional Bowlers Association Viper Championship at South Point Hotel and Casino. Angelo, who won his only PBA Tour title in the 2008 Viper Championship in Omaha, Neb., came into the Viper Championship finals as the top qualifier, but got help from Koivuniemi in the final frame before pulling off his clutch victory. The Viper Championship, the second of five PBA Tour events held as part of the GEICO PBA World Series of Bowling IV at South Point, aired on ESPN. “The finals are airing on my birthday, and I guarantee there will be an absolute blow-out Christmas party, slash birthday party, slash victory number two party at Brad Angelo Lanes,” the now 43-year-old Angelo said. Koivuniemi started the title match with a 4-10 split and an open frame. Angelo returned the favor in the third frame when he left a 4-6-7 split and opened. Neither bowler missed the pocket after those errors, although each left and converted a single-pin spare. The contest came down to the 10th frame where Koivuniemi, working on a string of four strikes, added a fifth on his first shot. Needing nine pins and a spare to lock up the title, Koivuniemi left the 3-6-9-10 to give Angelo a chance to win with a double and eight pins, and that’s exactly what the 11-year PBA Tour veteran got.

At Coram Country Lanes

LAS VEGAS – Brad Angelo of Lockport, N.Y, with two strikes and an eight-

count in the 10th frame, ended four years of frustration with a 233-232 victory

over Finland’s Mika Koivuniemi to win the Professional Bowlers Association

Viper Championship at South Point Hotel and Casino.

Angelo, who won his only PBA Tour title in the 2008 Viper Championship

in Omaha, Neb., came into the Viper Championship finals as the top qualifier,

but got help from Koivuniemi in the final frame before pulling off his clutch

victory.

The Viper Championship, the second of five PBA Tour events held as part of

the GEICO PBA World Series of Bowling IV at South Point, aired on ESPN.

“The finals are airing on my birthday, and I guarantee there will be an

absolute blow-out Christmas party, slash birthday party, slash victory number

two party at Brad Angelo Lanes,” the now 43-year-old Angelo said.

Koivuniemi started the title match with a 4-10 split and an open frame.

Angelo returned the favor in the third frame when he left a 4-6-7 split and

opened. Neither bowler missed the pocket after those errors, although each left

and converted a single-pin spare.

The contest came down to the 10th frame where Koivuniemi, working on a

string of four strikes, added a fifth on his first shot. Needing nine pins and a

spare to lock up the title, Koivuniemi left the 3-6-9-10 to give Angelo a chance

to win with a double and eight pins, and that’s exactly what the 11-year PBA

Tour veteran got. See ANGELO page 2

“Mika gave me a chance, but I

feel for him,” Angelo said. “I’ve

bowled against him for 25 years

and he’s about as classy as they

come. He made some great shots

to virtually shut me out, and the

next thing I know, he got six (pins).

“All you ever want is a chance.

That’s what I kept saying to

myself, give me a chance,” Angelo

continued. “I thought I needed

nine pins to win. I guess it didn’t

register that he got six pins, not

seven, but I didn’t look at the

score. That’s the first time in my

career I didn’t look to see what I

really needed; I just got up and

tried to make three quality shots.”

The victory was redemption for

four years of extreme frustration

for Angelo.

“My slow years were certainly

not for lack of effort,” he said. “I

dealt with the evolution of the

sport. Bowling with so much fric-

tion on the lanes here in Las

Vegas, a guy like me without the

speed and rev rate some of the

power guys have, is pretty much

nullified.

“Some of these guys – and they’re

great players – have an advantage

over guys like me. My weak 10 pin

is their messenger 10-pin strike. My

2-10 split could be another strike

for them because they can send the

headpin off the wall.

“It’s been a struggle, but today I

feel great. Great,” he said with a

grin. “Hopefully I’ve silenced some

of the people who decided that my

career is over. Hopefully I’ve

shoved that right in their mouths.”

Koivuniemi advanced to the title

match with a 214-150 victory over

Mike Fagan of Dallas in the first

match, and a 258-180 win over

reigning PBA Player of the Year

Sean Rash of Montgomery, Ill., in

the semifinal match.

Ron Dennis 669

At Parkway LanesELMWOOD PARK, NJ – Ron

Dennis led all pin attackers with

scores of 198-245-226 for a strong

669 series in the Wednesday,

Teterboro Bowling League at

Parkway Lanes.

Matt Dunning tossed 254-663,

Mike Guglielmino 230-662, Rich

DeLorenzo Jr. 225-662,

Rob Roman 257-655, Esteban

Moran 222-654, and Kenny

Demchak bowled 236-646.

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.

His effort, along with teammate Pat Teshima’s 222-230-630, helped lift

Boonton past a shorthanded Montvale team.

Colette Malyack held her 210 average with 234-215-638, Austin

Hackett had 187 and Caitlyn Castillo 180, but it wasn’t nearly enough to

stop Bowler City II from sweeping its fourth straight match and close to

within two points of second place. Southpaw Justin Garcia led the vic-

tors with a triple deuce 203-226-203-632 while his mates added deuces

of their own: Kyle Schellberg 221, Jonmikal Sepero 216 and Welmer

Paguay 204.

Holiday I salvaged the last game of its match with Bowler City IV to

stay in third place, seven back of league-leading Boonton. Ana DeLeon

scored a triple deuce 202-222-202-626, Nick Cilento fired 208-213-601

and anchor Brian Rizzi a 225. Highs for Bowler City IV were Alijah

Jackson 207, Greg Khan 195-554 and above average stints from both

Caitlin and Nathan Tombo.

Thirteen-year-old Matt Myers’ 256 was the afternoon’s high game and

he added a 210 to finish with 622 for Fair Lawn which earned five points

from the vacancy. Also contributing to the outcome were Hassan Izzard

194 and Tyler Nappi 176.

Bowler City III’s Arielle Wallace 210-533 was her finest effort of the

season; Pat Sucero 188-549, ten-year-old Louis Ferrante 183 and Olivia

Wank 175 all were factors in the team triumph over Bowler City I. Best

for the latter were Vin Santoro 213-216-602, Eric Grabusnik 198 and

Ryan Sweeney 192.
