Chase - Larson Take President’s Cup

Stephen Chase who bowls at BZ-Hawthorn and Corie Larson who bowls at Bertrand Lanes won the second Lake County BA President’s Cup at Antioch Lanes on March 28, 2010. Stephen Chase was the top seed in the scratch division with a 767 set in qualifying. He faced the winner of scratch all-events champion Jamie Sensabaugh (751 qualifying) and Chris “Kid” Miletic (760 qualifying) match. Jamie won the first match by a 245-177 count. In the championship match Stephen and Jamie exchanged opportunities to take over the match, but in the end Stephen defeated Jamie 192-176 to claim the scratch President’s Cup. In the handicap division, Corie Larson as top seed (771) took on match one winner Chuck Schriver (757) who defeated Lake County BA Hall of Famer John Kerpan (765) by a final total of 181-170. In the championship match, Corie took charge in the late stage of the game after Chuck missed on his attempt to convert a 2-4-8-10 split in the eighth frame. But still, Chuck struck in the ninth & tenth to force Corie to mark in her tenth. Corie stepped up with a strike in the tenth and eleventh to close out with a 252-220 victory. Congratulations to Stephen and Corie and to all that earned their chance at the President’s Cup.

Sunset Bowl Captures Third Title

 

The Sunset Bowl team of John Walczek, Dan Litewski, Dean Bakkum, Rob Cunningham and Jim Erickson captured their third consecutive Lake County BA Proprietor Team Challenge title at Brunswick Zone – Fountain Square on January 31, 2010. The Sunset team came up big in the final game qualifying to erase a 72-pin deficit to the BZ-Hawthorn team and claim the third and final spot in the step ladder finals where they met the Bertrand Lanes team of Mike Geiger, Bob Romani, Dan Dimitroff, Ryan Schmeling and Dan Krostal in the semi-final match. Sunset Bowl jumped out to an early lead in the two-game match bowling 220 to the Bertrand Lanes team score of 177, but Bertrand Lanes came back in the second game bowling 212 to Sunset’s 198 for a total of Sunset 418 – Bertrand 389. Next up was the top seeded Fair Haven Lanes team of Mark Raymond Jr., Dan Farris, Jim Gochis, Davey Rosen and Jamie Kaiser in the championship match. In game one both teams had a little trouble lining up and after the first game Sunset Bowl held a narrow 15-pin lead (192-177). In game two, after five frames the teams were nearly deadlocked, the Sunset team drew on their previous experience in this event and each member rolled a strike on their final shot to end the game with a seven string and a 249 game to finish off with Fair Haven 441 (192-249) - 358 (177-181) to complete their run to their third consecutive victory. The star studded field drew teams from eight centers (Antioch Lanes, Bertrand Lanes, BZ-Fountain Square, BZ-Hawthorn, Fair Haven Lanes, Lakes Bowl, Lakeside Lanes and Sunset Bowl) and one team that represented the Lake County BA Board of Directors which included 12 Lake County BA Hall of Famers and 4 Illinois BA Hall of Fame members. The highest scoring individual game of the tournament was fired by Davey Rosen (278) of the Fair Haven Lanes team. Top Baker team game went to Lakes Bowl with a 279. The Lake County BA will hold the fourth Lake County BA Proprietor’s Team Challenge in January of 2011.

Lee Stops Knoth to Earn Masters Victory

John Lee of Mundelein battled his way from the eighth seed to claim the 2009 Lake County BA Masters at Lakes Bowl on December 13, 2009 to take home the top prize of $250, a paid entry to the 2010 USBC Masters and $500 expense reimbursement. Lee met Jeff Knoth in the final match of the day. The final score for the two game match was 428-368, but the match was much closer than the final score as Knoth had  back to back open frames in the 6th and 7th which was all Lee needed to grab the lead for good. High game of the day was rolled by Lake County BA Hall of Fame member Mike Jacobs (277), who also lead qualifying with a six game average of 224.33 (1,346 pins). The field of 19 bowlers averaged 186.7 on the challenging 2009 USBC Masters pattern. The Lake County BA would like to thank Lakes Bowl for hosting the 2009 Masters, Miller Lite for co-sponsoring and to the participants. The 2010 Masters is tentatively scheduled for December 12, 2010 at a center to be announced later in the year.

Teach an Old Dog (Ball) a New Trick

Rick Moudy of the Sunset Fellowship league at Sunset Bowl wouldn’t be what you would say on the cutting edge of bowling technology. On November 24, 2009 he fired up his trusty Dick Weber Five-Star that he purchased in 1977 (one would have to think that most of the house balls are newer then this one) and proceeded to roll his personal best with games of 257-300-245 for an 802 set. So the next time you stroll past one of the classic balls from days gone by, maybe you should rethink your selection for tonight’s competition.


If you have any interesting tidbits about one of your league bowlers that you’d like to share with your fellow members, just send a note to lakecountyba@sbcglobal.net and we’ll share their feat with everyone.
