Greetings Strike Force Family! Our last event was at AMF Tempe Village lanes on March 24th and March 25th. There were a lot of great experiences to cap off our first event. Joan Elam, in the “B” division, bowled her first 200 game of the year while bowling +131 over to lead her division. Clay Fritz and Kris Maglunog had chances at a perfect 300 game but fell short. Some long standing Strike Force family members like Oscar Garcia, Jerry Graber, Ben Dewberry, Bill Held, Steve Hamlett, Brian Roever, Brandon Gilbert, and Bo Copeland came out to show their support. We had new members, Tina Niles, Hokey Begay, Daniel Scott, and Ron Gonzales cashing in their first SFT tournament. To top it all off, long time SFT family member Lynn Arthur took home the first place prize and did it in fashion by bowling a nice 293 game.
The event had a total of 60 entries with 16 participants making the finals. That is almost a 1 in 3 cut ratio! The divisional insurance and the seniors and women’s division insurance really helped take extra bowlers to the finals. Bryce Barnette left the tournament down and out, but was happy to receive a phone call informing him that his $5.00 insurance investment allowed him to make the finals. Our A division champion Ron Gonzales defeated fellow lefty Ben Spencer 252 to 189. The B division champion Lynn Arthur defeated Daniel Scott 202 to 193 in a pretty close match up. The championship match turned out to be a run-away victory for Lynn Arthur. Lynn bowled a 293 to Ron’s 194. Congrats Lynn! Great bowling buddy!
Our next event is at AMF McRay Plaza Lanes and will feature the same great formats and prizes as our last event. I encourage all of you to come back out and be a part of the Strike Force Tour family. Even if you aren’t bowling, come down and interact with some familiar faces and I guarantee you will have a good time! If you would like more info on this event, click here.
