LAS VEGAS – Amateur Russ Davies

of Las Vegas won the most memorable

match of his career by defeating PBA

Hall of Famer Walter Ray Williams Jr.

to win the PBA50 South Point West

Open presented by Track regional at

the South Point Bowling Plaza.The 60-year-old Davies defeated

Williams 217-206 in the tit le match for

his first PBA title in the concluding

event of the inaugural PBA Fall

Classic.

“This is unbelievable,” said Davies,

primarily a local league and tourna-

ment bowler who is a member of the

Southern Nevada Bowling Association Hall of Fame.

“It’s the highlight of my career for sure. There’s noth-

ing like winning a PBA title especially when you can

do it by beating one of the all-time greats.”

Davies got off to an early lead in the

title match by starting with the first

three strikes and was able to hold off

Williams for the rest of the match.

Williams struck on the final ball of the

10th frame forcing Davies to mark.

The lefthander left a six pin and then

picked up the spare in the final frameto clinch the win.

“Let’s face it, I’m the underdog so I

was pretty calm for most of the

match,” said Davies who finished 22nd

in the 1974 Showboat Invitational as

an amateur. “When it came down to

having to pick up that six pin for the

win, I’ll admit I got a little nervous.”

In the semifinal match, Williams defeated Jeff

Jamison of Boulder City, Nev., 248-234, and Davies

beat Mike Kanada of Camarillo, Calif., 229-224, to

advance to the title match.

2 SPORTS REPORTER November 11 - 17, 2015

J o a n Ta y l o r ’ s . . . . .

Te n P i n R a p . . . . .Jack Vander Meulen, a Bowling Hero

This starts out as a “normal” article about a youth bowler who is a credit to collegiate bowl-

ing. After only 5 years of youth bowling, this young man has not only posted two perfect

games but also had his first at the national Junior Gold tournament in Chicago. More recent-

ly, Jack Vander Meulen, 19, rolled a 300 at Rockaway Lanes in the Friday night junior league.

In Chicago, he rolled the 300 in his third game of the Storm Survivor Tournament, which

was held after the qualifying rounds. He came in 35th out of 635 boys, no small feat in itself.

For that he earned scholarship dollars.

He also credits parents Cathy and Bob for family support. “I always love when both of themwatch me bowl.” They were in Chicago for Junior Gold and to witness their son’s achieve-

ment.

He took up bowling at Oratory Prep in Summit and made varsity during his freshman year.

Jack is now a sophomore at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison (NJ). He bowls in 3

leagues per week including Friday nights at Rockaway, Saturday morning juniors at Hanover,

and on Sundays, in a Junior Gold Traveling League at Sparta Lanes, Rockaway and Warwick.

He gave a shout-out to Dave Kinney for putting the traveling league together. “He’s a great

guy. He runs the league and tries to send as many people out to Nationals every year, but does-

n’t get the credit he deserves.”

Vander Meulen is studying Hotel and Restaurant Management and would like to someday

own a restaurant and get into the food management side of the business. Meanwhile, he aver-

ages 227 in his highest league, and resides in Madison with his parents, and brothers Bobby,

22 and Billy, 21.

Just a regular junior bowler, right? And now for the rest of the story. At age 4, Jack was

diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder known as Evans Syndrome. Every month he

takes in an infusion of medication. This may have been a factor in what happened to him a

few years ago when he was diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, also knownas Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma. He had been losing significant weight over 2 weeks and

had a lymph node biopsy conducted at Morristown Memorial Hospital.

Five rounds of chemotherapy followed the diagnosis. He had to have his spleen and part of

his right lung removed. A close friend, Nick Sanato, held a fundraiser in June of 2014 to help

with the astronomical medical bills. All Jack wanted to do was to get back to bowling. He said

that the chemo gave him “horrible neuropathy in my feet, which resulted in nerve damage.

For a couple of weeks I used a one step approach.” Then he tried his traditional 4 steps and

was able to bowl his game.

For the past 4 months he took some time off, as the chemo had affected his stamina.

Returning to bowling, he says he “is taking it week by week. I enter occasional Junior Bowler

Tour tournaments here and there.” And to no surprise, his goal is to post an 800 series. Like

our other county “health heroes” he doesn’t dwell on what life has handed him. He simply

wants to bowl his best and enjoy the sport. Jack, you are truly a Rockstar!

“BAD BOY OF BOWLING” EARNING GREAT REVIEWS

The “Bad Boy of Bowling” documentary centered around PBA Hall of Famer Pete Weber’s

colorful career has yet to make its debut on ESPN’s “30 for 30” series, but producer Bryan

Storkel said the film continues to earn great reviews as it tours the nation’s film festivals.

“The film has played at over 25 festivals and has gotten a great response everywhere we've

shown it,” Storkel said. “We've played in San Francisco, Boston, Baltimore, Maui, Palm

Springs, Indianapolis, Portland, Seattle, Milwaukee and many more.”

The film is scheduled for additional screenings in November, including the St. Louis Film

Festival in Weber’s hometown Nov. 14 (where Weber will make a personal appearance to

answer questions); Nov. 16 at Doc NYC in New York City, and at the Cucalorus Film Festival

in Wilmington, N.C., Nov. 12-14.

AT CORAM COUNTRY LANES

By Bill Vint - PBA

LAS VEGAS – “Dead Money” is a

poker term related to the money left

in the pot by players who have fold-

ed. It also is the name a team of five

relatively untested bowlers gave

themselves before upsetting a high-

ly-decorated team of Professional

Bowlers Association stars in the

inaugural PBA Team Challenge at

the South Point Bowling Plaza.

The PBA Team Challenge, a first-

of-its-kind five-player team compe-

tition for the sport’s most talented

players, was conducted as part of

the multi-event South Point

Bowling Plaza Fall Classic.

Dead Money featured a lineup

including PWBA Tour

Championship winner Danielle

McEwan of Stony Point, N.Y., who

stepped into the lineup to replace

injured Alex Aguiar (who came up

with the team name); one-time PBA

Regional winners Alex Cavagnaro of

Massapequa, N.Y., and Matt

O’Grady of Matawan, N.J.; one-time

PBA Tour winner Anthony Pepe of

Elmhurst, N.Y., and 30-year-old PBA

rookie Matt McNiel of Prior Lake,

Minn., who made his PBA Tour

debut during the Fall Classic.

With McNiel bowling anchor,

Dead Money put together a string

of six strikes to take a 249-234 lead

after the first game of the two-game

Baker format title match and locked

up a 497-452 victory by out-bowl-

ing “4 Majors and 100 at 1” in the

second game, 248-218.

Combined, the five Dead Money

players have won one PBA Tour

title. The top-seeded “4 Majors and

100 at 1” own a combined 46 titles

including PBA Tour major champi-

onship by Bill O’Neill of

Langhorne, Pa.; Tommy Jones of

Simpsonville, S.C.; Wes Malott of

Pflugerville, Texas, and Jason

Belmonte of Australia. Tom

Daugherty of Wesley Chapel, Fla.,

the fifth team member, is known for

bowling a nationally-televised 100

game in “one” major – the 2011

PBA Tournament of Champions.

“We all kind of grew up together

bowling in Junior Gold and other

tournaments, and we’re good

friends,” McNiel said of his team’s

chemistry. “The big thing for us was

throwing good shots and having a

good time, and we had a blast.”

In the first match, 900 Global

Phoenix, with a lineup featuring

four past or current Arizona State

University collegiate bowlers plus

Phoenix-based Michael Haugen Jr.,

a four-time PBA Tour winner, elim-

inated Team Brunswick in the first

two-game Baker format match, 471-

411. PBA rookie Jakob Butturff, a

21-year-old lefthander, threw seven

strikes in eight attempts as 900

Global’s anchor bowler.

Dead Money then ousted 900

Global, rallying from a 43-pin

deficit after game one with a 278

game to win the match, 493-484.

McNiel threw two strikes in the

10th frame to lock up Dead

Money’s comeback.

The round-robin match play com-

petition leading into the stepladder

finals included a Baker format 300

game by Team Brunswick’s Walter

Ray Williams Jr., Sean Rash, Tom

Smallwood, Jason Sterner and

anchor bowler Parker Bohn III, the

all-time leader in 300 games

bowled in PBA competition (104).

Williams, Rash, Smallwood and

Sterner each threw two strikes.

Bohn struck in the fifth frame and

completed the perfect game with

the final three strikes in the 10th.

AT FARMINGDALE LANESYouth TravelersScorch Hi-Tor

By Vince Albrecht

WEST HAVERSTRAW, NY - The Stan

Niemiec Youth Travel keglers crossed

the North Jersey border for their first

session ever at Hi-Tor Lanes and took

no prisoners in their annihilation of the

plastic-coats, exploding for fifty-seven

“200s” and seventeen “600s”.

Predictably, the host squad Hi-Tor lit

up the leaderboard with 2540, the after-

noon’s best net threesome, an average

of 211.67/player, as they won five of seven points from Bowler City I,

Johnny Toscano, now sporting a 229

average, led the onslaught with 222-

215-234-671 while his teammates all

posted huge numbers: Brandon Smith

251-213-656, Nino Sparta 211-203-

225-639 and Nick Sparta with 212, 207.

Bowler City I put together a strong

830 net to snare the opener, but couldn’t

stay with the victors’ scorching tempo.

Pacing BC I were Kyle Schellberg 221-

199-226-646 and Anthony Rizzo 210-

216-203-629, Gabby Pangaro and

Kristen Kane chipped in with 203 and

196 respectively.

Bowler City II fell two points back of

first place Hi-Tor by dropping two of

three games to Boonton in a match

dominated by high numbers. Boonton’s

quartet fired eight deuces. Erik

Kattermann posted 247-215-237-699,

Peter Hancock 205-205-211-621,

Rocco Pascale 203 and Mark Howarth

202. Igniting BC II was Matt Burzynski

189-231-269-689 with added “200s”

from Arielle Wallace 224, Allie

Woodhouse 203 and Jack Curillo 200.

In the day’s tightest match, Bowler

City III edged Fair Lawn, 2928-2885,

grabbing five points in the process.

David Grant posted 238, Peter Bondy

231, Nathan Tombo 224-202-618 and

Derek Lewandowski 217-201.

Powering Fair Lawn were Nick Greco

255-632, Steve Plaszky 236-227-627,

Tyler Nappi 204 and Hunter Perry 190.

Torrid Holiday II blasted 3087, theleague’s best handicap set, in its sweep

of Montvale, crushing the maples for

the victors were Jared Duncan 238-

238-222-698, Tom Chamberlain 226-

234-640 and Wade Chamberlain 215-

To our customers at the Parkway Lanes, 200 Route 46, Elmwood Park, N.J.:

There continues to be a number of rumors circling around the industry about our business.We had our Financial Consultant address the league officers recently and he attempted toprovide information first to the league members and second to our loyal customers. At thismeeting he disclosed confidential information with the attempt of gaining trust in thestatement that all of our leagues and parties are secure in the thought of using our facilityas their Bowling Center. We have been working hard over the past 8 years to provide ourcustomers the best and most comfortable bowling alley in Bergen County.

We mentioned in our meeting that we have been approached by several entities interestedin purchasing our business. We have been approached by more than a dozen viable entitieswith the interest of purchasing Parkway Lanes in the past three years, however in each casewe have chosen to hold on to it ourselves, in spite of economic challenges.

In all the possible scenarios, we will be f inancially secure for this season and manyseasons to come, as promised.

For those of you who have businesses or business experiences, you will know that aChapter 11 filing allows a business to operate but it also exposes the business to totaltransparency which means anyone who has an interest in buying our business must bedisclosed to the public. It does not mean, in fact a sale or transfer of ownership will takeplace.

The partners of Parkway Lanes have invested more than a million dollars of their hardearned money to maintain and keep their business responsible.

We are using this advertisement for one purpose and one purpose only. We wanteveryone to feel comfortable about having a bowling house that they can trust, and so weare asking you publicly to accept our commitment to remain in business for many years tocome.

We take this opportunity to thank all of our patrons, our league members, and ourcustomers who have enjoyed using our facility as their Birthday party house and theircorporate site for group gatherings.

fered its first setback of the season, dropping five of seven points to

lighted by fine singles from Peter Bondy 215, Derek Lewandowski 195

son a memorable one, firing her best threesome ever, tossing 204-237-

which came away with all seven points. Pascack Valley sophomore

Henry Tipping led the victors with 211-600 with help from Nick Fabiano

197, Chris Torres 193 and Joseph Mahoney, a pair of 187s.

gle, finishing with 684 to pace Holiday I to a hard-earned five of seven

Frank Magyar 236-226-644, Lilly Sigona 193-183 and newcomer

Angela Dinallo with two over-average scores. Leading Boonton was 14-

year-old Peter Hancock, mastering the lanes with 671, closing with stel-

lar games of 247-244.

With aid from 13-year-old Louis Ferrante 203-195, Dickinson sopho-

more Matt Burzynski blasted 225-222 as Bowler City II bounced back

2787-2771 as Tom posted a triple deuce 226-201-212-639 and Wade an

opening game 198.

Kyle Schellberg mercilessly crushed the plastic-coats, chasing them

into the pit with scores of 246-215-213-674 as Bowler City I cruised to

seven points against the vacancy. Posting good numbers as well were

Janina Santoro 207, thirteen-year-old Trevor Savoye 201 and Clifton

junior Gabby Pangaro who tallied 182-194 in her first appearance with

the youth travelers.

Marvin Hidalgo-Mora 786 at HowellHOWELL, NJ - In the Coors Light Trio League, Marvin Hidalgo-
