Doubles and Singles are underway...2-27-10 The Doubles and Singles events are underway at Antioch Lanes. Opening day saw Craig Frankel have the hottest day with him taking the lead in scratch doubles (1,364 with Bill Spigner), singles (758) and all events (2,127). Leroy Walker fired a 290 game in doubles propelling him to the doubles lead with his partner Barbara Washington (1,440). Leroy is also leading all events with a total score of 2,197. If the opening day is any indication of things to come, there will be plenty of fireworks yet to come. Top Scores get Toppled 2-20-10 The Team Scratch leading score posted by the Fair Haven Lanes team was topped today during competition at the 81st Lake County BA Championships by the Beancounters.com team from Hawthorn Lanes.

The rest of the team, Mike Jacobs 663, Bob Amoruso 632, Steve Csar 630 and David Fouke 598 added to their total of 3,291. The game of the day belonged to Dan Krostal of the 9 Pin Keln team from Sunset Bowl. The left-hander fired the second perfect-o of the tournament and his second career 300 during Lake County BA Championships competition. The leading teams, Friday Nite Lakes from Lakes Bowl and Beancounters.com, have only one more day to dodge the competitors to earn the coveted association championship title and the award jacket that is presented to every Lake County BA Championships winner.

Bowl for a Cure Since this will be the time of year that we will see the most traffic on our site, I would like to inform you that the Lake County BA will again this year be holding our Bowl for the Cure raffle during the 81st Lake County BA Championships. We will have tickets available at the tournament and new for this year, you can request tickets by contacting the association office at lakecountyba@sbcglobal.net Ticket are $2 each or 3 for $5. All proceeds will be split between the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the Jimmy V. Foundation for Cancer Research. We are all feeling the current economic crunch and I do understand this, but when I come to you during the tournament, I come as a cancer survivor trying to help out just a little bit in hopes that just one more person receiving the words “You have cancer” will survive to see one more birthday. Below is a link to the speech that Jimmy Valvano gave on March 3, 1993 at the ESPYs awards when he received the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage. Most everyone that will visit this site will have either seen portions or the entire video. I plead with you to take 11 minutes of your busy schedule to watch Jimmy’s speech. I will thank you in advance for anything you can do to help me to help someone who has received those words. Thanks Rod Polich – Lake County BA Association Manager.

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.
