COFFEE WINS $ 1,500 ON DUAL LANE PATTERN

Dale Coffee, former Cleveland Storm bowling stand-out made the trip from Colorado worthwhile, winning $ 1,500 for beating early leader, Pete Sheridan by twenty pins in the championship match at Tenpins & More on Sunday.

The scores of 213 to 193 did not reflect the high scoring pace each had set in the games leading up to the final. Sheridan averaged over 237, while Coffee carded 222 over eight games.

Forty-nine entrants were whittled down to twenty then four for the grand final.

Los Alamos’ Michael DeVore (who drives down every week for league play at the Rio Rancho Center) opened with a win 245-211 over local Dennis Helmick, who finished fourth.

DeVore shot 238 next but lost to Sheridan by ten pins (248) leading into the last match. Other area bowlers who cashed included Justin Medina 6th, Zach Harvey 7th, Trent Irwin 8th and Jake Gill 10th, along with Gabe Maestas 5th from Colorado Springs and Joseph Paterson 9th from Socorro.
