BOWLING UPDATE
From Tenpins & More
* Highest average teams don’t always win handicap-added bowling tournaments but one did Sunday at Tenpins & More, when Carson Opela and Jon Arevalo saved their best team game to break a three-way tie in the annual Superbowl Doubles Marathon.
Arevalo set the stage with an opening seven strikes in a row for 253, while Opela closed with six strikes for 248.
Even giving up 64 pins, the duo had 437 to leave Jacob Neal and Teresa Hope in second with 367, just ahead of Chris Kenworthy and Sandra Fride who had 363, after all three teams had finished with 6-2 records in earlier match-play rounds.
Five teams followed, on 5-3, necessitating a tie-breaker for placings four through eight. Peter Silva and Tom Thornhill had 388, followed by Anthony Garcia and Joe Chacon 375.
Then came Khesean Manning/Robin Prioleau 331, Mike and Donielle Waite 314 and Soccoro’s Will Hall and Joseph Paterson 312.
The next Doubles Marathon is Scheduled for Easter Sunday evening, March 31, starting at 5.30pm.
* There’s plenty of tournament action coming up, with final squads this weekend for the Valentine’s Doubles as well as Color Pin Cash on Sunday morning at 9.30am.
