CDB, the new coach of coaches 

By Tony Franklin 

You probably read in last 

week’s Bowling News that 

Carolyn Dorin-Ballard has 

taken a new position with the 

United States Bowling Congress 

as the Director 

of Coaching. 

What you 

may not have 

seen is where 

she plans to 

take her new 

job and what 

it is all about. 

With a few 

modifications, 

this was the 

position previously 

held by 

DFW’s own 

David Garber. 

As part of the role changes, 

Team USA will now be fully 

under the direction and coaching 

of Rod Ross and his staff. 

So the goal for Carolyn will be 

to make the coaching program 

as strong as it can be for USBC. 

CDB was looking for a 

job that would allow her 

to be home more often yet 

still allow her to bowl a fair 

CDB, hands-on.

amount of events. She saw 

a couple of jobs within the 

USBC that peaked her interest, 

but felt most qualified for the 

Director of Coaching role, so 

she applied, interviewed and 

ultimately 

got the 

job. A very 

good decision 

by the 

USBC and 

one that 

bowling 

in general 

will 

benefit 

greatly 

from.

So 

what has Carolyn excited about 

the job? “The two priorities are 

certification of new coaches 

By Tyson Branagan 

Staff Writer 

Each year on the Wednesday 

before Christmas, the members 

of the Wednesday Women’s 

League at Rowlett Bowl-A- 

Rama have made it a tradition 

to do something special for a 

local organization for Christmas 

as part of their community 

project. This year, the league 

of more than 40 women, 

decided to take it beyond the 

local community, and make it a 

special Christmas for troops in 

Afghanistan. 

“Several of the gals in the 

league have family members 

serving in Afghanistan or 

know soldiers stationed there,” 

said league secretary Nancy 

Vermeer. “So we decided to 

support our troops there.” 

The project started out like 

so many other leagues do on 

the last league session prior to 

Christmas break, where members 

bring some kind of snack 

or dish to share with everyone 

else in the league, and maybe a 

and re-certification of existing 

coaches,” she said. “We have 

all of these certified coaches 

all over the country. Roughly 

42,000, but we haven’t really 

kept up with them to find out 

how they are doing, are they 

seeing improvement, are they 

improving, what do they need 

from us. One of the main focus 

areas is to stay in more direct 

contact with those coaches, 

talk to them after 

they re-certify, create 

some focus groups, 

basically have a more 

personal touch.” One 

of the key benefits of 

coaching re-certification 

is to help bowlers 

know who the actively 

engaged coaches are, 

and where to find 

them. Great ideas and 

she just got started. 

These are concepts 

that you may have 

heard before. Coach- 

ing will lead to better 

bowling, which will 

lead to people bowling longer, 

which will lead to more people

small gift or two, and years ago 

Vermeer came up with the idea 

to add to the yearly tradition 

and bring items that can be 

donated to various organizations 

in the community. 

The first year they donated 

stuffed animals for the 

Garland Police Department 

as the league originated in 

Garland. Ever since, they have 

picked a cause each year and 

donated food, toys, toiletries

PBA SW 

Regional title 

By Genie Franklin 

The Bowling News columnist, 

Clint Dacy cruised 

past Chris Hibbitts 238-188 

in the final match to win the 

PBA Southwest Region Del- 

Mar Lanes Challenge (Non 

champions event) at Del-Mar 

Lanes February 5th & 6th and 

collected $2,500. 

Hibbitts finished in second 

place, winning $1,400. 

After qualifying ninth for 

match play, Dacy lost only one 

game during the elimination 

matches when he posted 169 

against #1 seed Craig Diver. “I 

threw my go to ball, the Black 

Widow in practice and in the 

first game. I made a couple 

of good shots that hooked too 

much off the friction so I knew 

I needed something smoother. 

That’s when I switched to the 

Avalanche Urethane,” said 

Dacy.

Brian Hay 

This week’s high man is Brian 

Hay with a 300-276-290 for 

an 866 series in the Crummy’s 

Sports Bar Classic league at 

West Acres Lanes. Brian is the 

Shipping/Receiving Manager 

for Scholfield Auto Plaza that 

sells premium autos. 

What is your high series? 

This is my high series by far; I 

think that was my 12th 800. 

How many 300’s have you 

bowled? Rough guess about 28. 

Thoughts on your big night? 

When you shoot a series like 

that, you don’t even think 

that’s going to happen. Your 

mind has to be clear; you have 

to take it one shot at a time. I 

was only trying to shoot 800, 

but once I got the strikes to 

lock in 800, the rest was icing 

on the cake. It’s an unreal 

feeling to bowl something like 

that. 

What ball did you throw? 

The Storm XXX 

Who drills your balls? I got 

the ball from my father, but I 

had Kevin Andes at West Acres 

plug the thumb and re-drill it. 

This is one of the best fitting 

balls I have ever had, it fits 

perfect. 

What is your all-time favorite 

bowling ball? The Columbia 

Piranha/C, my previous high 

series was with that ball, 834. 

What is your average in this 

league? Currently it’s 227. 

What is your all-time high 

average? 234 

How long have you been 

bowling? Since I was three 

years-old. My dad, Tom Hay 

used to have the pro shop 

at Rose Bowl West, and 

Northrock, so I grew up at 

Rosebowl West watching the 

Jensen’s bowl, and wanting to 

be just like them. 

Who is your favorite pro 

bowler? Growing up I idolized 

Ameleto Monacelli, but now 

I’m a big fan of Tommy Jones, I 

love how smooth he is. 

Most memorable bowling moment? 

I was bowling league at 

Flight Lanes and left a pocket 

7-10 split then in the next 

frame I left another pocket 7-10. 

I was so mad I threw it as hard 

as I could on the spare, missed 

the 10 pin but threw it right 

thru the curtain and my ball 

was rolling around behind the 

machine. It was not a happy 

memory, but a memorable one. 

Brian’s tip of the week: If 

you are consistently leaving 

corner pins I think the best 

move is to go back on the 

approach about four inches. 

Most of the time the right move 

might be to move a board left 

or right, but this move will 

allow your ball to start rolling 

four inches sooner, and finish a 

little stronger in the pocket.

Rock’s Dugout proving that other 

sports can work alongside bowling 

By Tyson Branagan 

Staff Writer 

For more than 33 years, Joe 

Ruocco has run a successful 

business inside of various 

Wichita, Kansas area bowling 

centers, without being directly 

related to the sport of bowling 

at all. Rock’s Dugout, located 

inside of Northrock Lanes in 

Wichita, is a sports card and 

memorabilia business catering 

to sports collectors, and Ruocco 

has found a way to successfully 

mesh his business with 

bowling, even helping business 

Tony Brown hammered home 

a pile of strikes on his way to 278- 

245-268 = 791 numbers in Fast

Bowl for the week. 

The Great Tennelle Milligan 

found herself at the top of the ladies 

leaderboard, no big surprise 

there; she is my favorite bowler 

after all. She rolled 267-226-214

ness, and he is thriving. 

“We are seeing many people 

coming back to card collecting,” 

Ruocco said. “They were 

getting frustrated by so many 

different companies putting out 

cards, but now many brands 

have obtained exclusives and 

people are coming back.” 

The business originated in 

November, 1977 in the basement 

at Rose Bowl East in 

Wichita. At the time, Ruocco 

bowled five times per week, 

and approached the center 

owner and close friend about 

the possibility of renting out 

a room in the basement just 

to see if he could possibly sell 

sports cards to bowlers and 

other customers. They agreed 

on a rent of $50 per month, 

so the gamble was small, and 

Ruocco set up shop, advertised 

in the local newspaper, and 

traffic began coming into the 

center. 

“On day one of the business 

I did ten cents in sales on a 

Star Wars card,” he said. “I 

have been in business ever 

since.” 

Ruocco remained at that 

location until 2003 when Rose 

Bowl East was purchased and 

torn down to turn the land 

into a parking lot. In July 

of that year, Frank DeSocio 

approached him to ask if he 

wanted to bring his business 

into Northrock Lanes. 

“Northrock has been great 

because I’m now up on the 

main level as opposed to in the 

basement, so that has definitely 

helped the business,” said 

Ruocco. 

Ruocco says that being 

inside of a bowling center has 

definitely helped the bowling 

center’s business, but at the 

same time, has helped his own 

business, as opposed to being a 

standalone shop, because being 

in a bowling center is like 

being in a mall with the extra 

foot traffic. 

On the first Sunday of every 

even month, Rock’s Dugout 

puts on a sports card show 

where 17 dealers from Oklahoma, 

Texas, Missouri and all 

over Kansas come and set up 

shop. On average, more than 

500 people attend each show, 

which is set up in the banquet 

room at Northrock Lanes. 

“They come mainly for 

sports cards, but also buy 

drinks, food, and even bowl, 

and I think that helps the center,” 

said Ruocco on the shows. 

“Plus the advertising from the 

radio and newspapers mention

and that gets additional 

publicity for the center.” 

Rock’s Dugout is not 

completely void of anything 

bowling, however, as hanging 

on his wall is the stairwell 

handrail from Rose Bowl East 

to remember where he started, 

along with nearly 1000 bowling 

patches, parts of the lanes 

from Rose Bowl East, along 

with various other things from 

bowling that he has collected 

over the years. 

Ruocco still remains involved 

with the sport of bowling 

along with running his 

business, as he runs a singles 

summer league at Northrock, 

which just recently had 88 

members in a very different 

format from typical leagues. 

The league is separated into 2 

divisions, 49 years of age and 

under, and 50 and over, and 

four bowlers bowl per pair. 

Each game, bowlers receive 40, 

30, 20 and 10 points per game, 

based on scores versus the 

other bowlers.

he said. “Some of the 

best bowlers in Wichita bowl 

every summer.” 

Ruocco was also inducted 

into the Great Plains USBC Hall 

of Fame for his work running 

various tournaments and his 

work helping grow the sport of 

bowling in the Wichita area. 

So next time you’re in 

Wichita and near Northrock 

Lanes, stop in and checkout 

Rock’s Dugout and see just 

how a non-bowling business 

can thrive inside of a bowling 

center, and maybe even take up 

a new hobby.

Industry Veteran Phil Cardinale 

Starts Radical Bowling 

SAN ANTONIO — Industry 

veteran Phil Cardinale has 

created Radical Bowling LLC, 

a new bowling ball company 

specializing in the creation 

and distribution of highperformance 

bowling balls. 

Cardinale, who spent the 

last three years as President of 

Sales and Marketing for 900 

Global, left that company at 

the end of 2010 to start Radical 

Bowling. “After decades 

of cumulating knowledge 

on the development and 

manufacturing of bowling 

balls, I felt it was time to use 

that experience out on my 

own,” Cardinale said. “I wish 

to create the best bowling 

balls for bowlers of any skill 

level, particularly mid- to 

high-average bowlers looking 

to improve their score and level 

of play.” 

Early in his career, 

Cardinale was employed by 

United Airlines and the Eaton 

Corporation. But his desire to 

be involved in bowling led to 

the creation of Track Bowling 

in Solon, Ohio, in 1988. 

When Track was acquired 

by the original Columbia 

300, Cardinale stayed on as 

President of Sales and invented 

and patented the ceramic core. 

Cardinale moved on to 

manage Dynothane Inc. in 

2001. He grew the company 

with great success, especially 

in serving the international 

markets. In addition to 

bowling balls, he expanded the

Our 55th Year

A couple of months ago I 

wrote an article on sportsmanship 

that generated a bit of 

buzz including some publicity 

in a Chicago newspaper. In 

short it was about all the anger 

and frustration that bowlers go 

through and some of the things 

that we do. 

So last weekend I went 

to Cowtown (not the bowling 

center) and watched my 

brother-in-law in a team roping 

ROWLETT WOMEN’S 

Continued from Page 1 

continuing to strongly support 

in the following years. 

“Every year our league has 

responded so generously and 

I am always proud to present 

what we have collected to 

the receiving organization,” 

Vermeer said on the project. 

This particular year, the 

women gathered a list of the 

soldier’s most needed items 

from socks and foot powder, to 

puzzle books to candy. “The 

gals in the league brought a 

ton of items the day we packed 

the boxes, the party room at 

Bowl-A-Rama was filled with 

the items,” said Vermeer. 

Using the one price shipping 

boxes provided by the post 

office, the women filled 22 

boxes to the brim in all, with 

each box also containing a 

Christmas card from the league 

members, demonstrating just 

how generous the women in 

the league are. With the help 

of several league members, the 

shipping costs were covered, 

and that final Wednesday prior 

to Christmas, all 22 boxes were 

shipped, bound for the troops. 

A week later, the women 

received word from a Gunnery 

Sergeant in the Marines in 

a letter back home just how 

much of a surprise the boxes 

were and how grateful he and 

his troops were for all the gifts. 

The ladies sent the boxes to 

men in commanding positions 

knowing they would share 

with their troops, and the 

women were quite pleased with 

just how quickly the troops 

received all the gifts. 

“I have always said that this 

ladies morning league was just 

a coffee cup league, sharing 

our husbands, children and 

parent concerns with each 

other while enjoying the sport 

of bowling,” Vermeer said of 

the women. “But, year after 

year these ladies show how 

caring they are for the community 

around us.” 

competition. 

I know how frustrating it 

can be to perform badly and 

how easy it is to lose your 

temper. 

So you can imagine my 

surprise to see how calm, cool, 

and collected these folks are in 

the heat of battle. Most of the 

time you can’t tell whether a 

bull rider just had the ride of 

his life or got bucked off in two 

seconds. 

The demeanor and class of 

these guys are second to none. 

Maybe it’s the lack of money in 

their sport that keeps the class 

of people blue collar, but then 

again bowling is blue collar 

too. 

So why is there a difference 

in how each of us reacts to 

defeat? 

I know I’m going to strive 

to be a better sportsman in the 

agony of defeat. Then again 

actions are louder than words. 

This was the first time I 

really watched the competitive 

side of a rodeo. 

While it was very interesting 

to see some of the technical 

aspects of the sport all I 

was able to focus on was the 

amount of pressure it takes to 

win. 

As a bowler we pay an 

entry fee and bowl somewhere 

between 2 and 60 games to 

determine a winner. 

Although a bad shot or two 

could cost you the tournament 

it’s nothing like the pressure 

in a rodeo. The guys and gals 

drive hours and hours to enter 

into an event that will likely 

be decided in less than 15 

seconds. 

There are no do-overs or 

mulligans. The participant 

rides up and if they miss one 

head while roping or one turn 

too wide in a barrel race then 

they are out of the tournament. 

Paul Burnett’s first rate 241- 

254-274 = 769 session ended as 

the number-one set of the week

It almost requires perfection 

to win. At least in bowling 

you can have an open frame or 

even a bad game, and still win 

the tournament. 

On this night my brotherin-law 

paid his entry and ran 

one time as the header and 

once as the heeler. Both times 

his partner either missed the 

head or missed the legs so in 

less than 10 seconds they were 

eliminated. 

A two hour drive and 150 

dollars and the event was over. 

That’s like a one frame tournament, 

and getting judged on 

how pretty it was. 

It’s a tough life, but you 

can’t argue with their toughness, 

mentally and physically. 

Last week I was asked by 

my company to put together a 

3 to 4 minute presentation of 

some new technologies that we 

were offering. 

Although I spill my guts 

about my life to all of you 

every week, it’s still nothing 

like speaking in public. 

Although I was blessed with 

a small gift of gab, I’m still 

not very confident standing in 

front of a room full of people 

and speaking. 

Anyone who has ever done 

this knows how nerve racking 

it can be. For me there are 

three things that I battle when 

speaking. 

First is the racing heartbeat. 

My heart starts racing so fast 

that I have to take deep breaths 

to keep my composure. 

This leads to the second 

problem which is speeding up 

the speech so I can get it over 

with quicker. 

But the worst thing I 

struggle with is shaky voice. 

Most of you know what I’m 

talking about. As you start 

to speak you get the shakes 

and consequently your voice 

vibrates and it makes it very 

easy for people to know you’re 

nervous. 

It makes it uncomfortable 

for everyone in the room. The 

only advice I have received 

is that the more you do it 

the less nervous you will be. 

However, if anyone has any 

tips I would love to hear them 

at clint@thebowlingnews.net.

STORY 


bowled? 288 


I will have to give some credit 

to Storm; I was using the new 

Anarchy. I have been doing a 

lot of practicing, working on 

my game for some upcoming 

tournaments. I needed a double 

in the tenth to shoot 800, and 

left a big wrap ten on the first 

shot. 

What ball did you throw? 

Storm Anarchy, I have had it 

about a month, I love that ball. 

Who drills your balls? I did, 

I work in the pro shop for John 

Hood, who is also my coach. 

What is your all-time favorite 

bowling ball? That would have 

to be the Storm Cell Pearl. It is 

a great benchmark ball for me; 

it holds the line and is easy to 

read on the lanes.

average? 200 


bowling? Seven or eight years; 

I started bowling with some 

friends who decided they 

wanted to bowl in a league. I 

then thought that I should get 

a ball because if I was going to 

bowl I wanted to be good. 


bowler? Pete Weber, he has 

the best hand in bowling, I 

really appreciate that part of 

his game. 

Rebecca’s tip of the week: 

My big tip is that you have to 

not care just the right amount. 

I have to stay loose, if I get 

tense, or get nervous about the 

shot, then my arm swing won’t 

be free, and I won’t make a 

good shot. 

Tyson Branagan 

Last week’s high man 

was Tyson Branagan at AMF 

Lewisville with a 300-279-237 

for an 816 series. Tyson works 

AMF Desoto Lanes 

121 Northgate Dr. 

DeSoto, TX 75115 

972-780-8090 

full-time as the Manager of The 

Bowling Shop at AMF Lewisville 

Lanes, and is also a Staff 

Writer for The Bowling News. 

What is your high series? 834 

that I shot back in December, 

I’ve shot 7 800’s. 


bowled? I think 22 now. 


It was hard for me to miss; I 

really thought I had a shot to 

shoot 850. I was thinking about 

changing balls going into the 

last game to a ball that goes 

longer and finishes stronger, 

but decided not to because I 

was in 22 bracket finals. The 

team I bowled with shot 3666 

that night, which is a Denton 

County record. It was more fun 

bowling the team series than 

the individual series. 

What ball did you throw? A 

Hammer Taboo, it has a Black 

Widow core and really fantastic 

shell, it is extremely forgiving 

and versatile. 

Who drills your balls? I do 

at The Bowling Shop at AMF 

Lewisville. 

What is your all-time 

favorite bowling ball? The 

Taboo is quickly charging up 

the list, but I have to give it to 

the Brunswick Zone Classic. I 

won the TAT in Las Vegas and 

shot 820 at USBC Nationals in 

Corpus Christie with the Zone 

Classic and made over $30,000 

with it. 


league? 239, but I am just a sub 

in this league. 


average? 231 


bowling? 18 years now, my 

mother bowled once a week 

and got me into the game. It 

was something to do on the 

weekends, and I developed a 

natural talent, so I stuck with 

it. 


bowler? I was always a big 

Parker Bohn fan. There is 

something about just how fluid 

he is; it’s a real shame that he 

just hasn’t been on TV much 

lately. 

Most memorable bowling 

moment? Winning the True 

Amateur Tournament(TAT) for 

$22,000 in Las Vegas 2004. It 

was a brutal week, it took me 

nine tries to make the cut and 

nothing was going right. My 

friend Robby Patterson and I 

decided to bowl that last squad, 

both ended up making the cut, 

he advanced four more rounds, 

and I ended up winning. 

Tyson’s tip of the week: 

Develop a winning attitude and 

a refuse to lose game plan. I 

got this tip a few months back, 

and it has been a real difference 

maker for me. You need to 

focus on each and every shot as 

if that was the shot to win the 

tournament.

$1000 for second. The tournament 

features 2-game double 

elimination matches and had 

46 entries with 9 cashers in the 

one-day event. “Kevin(Allen) 

and I thought the tournament 

ran very smooth and there were 

a lot of exciting matches and 

lots of talent. I love this format, 

because it doesn’t matter how 

big your scores are each round 

as long you are at least 1 pin 

better than the your opponent,” 

said SWPBT tournament codirector, 

Paul Henderson. 

This format is a favorite 

amongst most of the participants 

for that very reason, “It’s 

my favorite format because 

I only have to worry about 

the guy across from me,” said 

runner-up Branagan. Tyson 

said that he bowled 8 matches, 

but got fortunate to get into the 

final match, “I bowled Ricky 

Kay in the semi-final and he 

shot 260 at me the first game, 

but I shot 270 the second game 

to get past him,” he said. 

The champion, however, 

is normally not a fan of this 

format, “I have generally not 

had good success in double 

elimination tournaments, I 

always seem to lose one of 

my first two matches and 

then I am bowling out of the 

loser’s bracket the rest of the 

way. This time I just put my 

headphones on, focused with 

no distractions, and went all 

the way through the winner’s 

bracket without losing a 

match,” said Nephew. 

Other cashers were Ricky 

Kay in third for $700, Chris 

Johnson fourth for $400, 

fifth/sixth was Frisco Doug Rice 

and Robert McBride $275 each, 

and seven through ninth was 

Johnny Hanna, Andrew Lowy, 

Chris “SWJ” Hibbitts $200 each. 

Cowtown did a great job 

catering to the players, with 

a fair condition that featured 

a moderate scoring condition. 

This allowed for multiple style 

differences to be successful 

as Nephew and Kay play 

straighter and Branagan and 

CJ can hook it off the lane. 

“My toughest match was the 

winner’s bracket final against 

Tyson and CJ, they both were 

playing their A-games from 

deep inside, and I had to play 

what felt like my D-game. I 

shot 258 the first game and was 

feeling really good, but they 

charged back the second game 

and I had to hold on to win the 

match,” said Nephew. 

“We loved the way the 

folks at Cowtown Bowling 

Palace treated us and our 

bowlers. Without great center 

management and great bowlers, 

we can not run such successful 

events,” said a thankful 

Henderson. 

Along with the tournament 

cashers, there were also some 

give-aways, Brian Bobbitt won 

a Hammer Jigsaw Trap for being 

the first full-paid entry, Gid 

Rash also won a Jigsaw Trap 

for having the highest losing 

score in the first two rounds, 

and Paul Fleming won a Hammer 

3-ball roller in a free raffle 

for all entrants.

A Star in the Making 

There is a young budding 

star in Salina, KS, by the name 

Ryan Franzen. He is the owner 

of three 800’s and three 300 

games, and guess what, he’s 

only 13 years old! 

He’s been bowling since 

he was three years-old so he 

already has a ton of experience. 

His mother Nancy was 

the Youth Director at All-Star 

Lanes in Salina, and figures 

the fact that she was always 

at the bowl probably had 

something to do with his quick 

improvement. “His dad and I 

both bowl, along with his two 

brothers and older sister. He 

bowls in three leagues and 

probably practices another 20- 

30 games a week,” said proud 

mom, Nancy. 

As for when the light went 

off and the young Franzen 

decided that bowling was for 

him, “about three years ago, I 

had been bowling really well 

and decided that I wanted to 

do this my entire life, and I 

haven’t stopped since,” he said. 

At the age of 12, which was 

just last year, he became the 

youngest bowler in the state of 

Kansas to shoot an 800 series, 

and last month he shot 834 at 

All Star Lanes in Salina, KS. 

To say he has improved rapidly 

would be an understatement, 

but has had some good coaching. 

Local bowling icon, Rick 

Steelsmith has been coaching 

the young left-hander for the 

last couple of years, and as his 

mother put it “Rick told me 

that he is finally getting coachable, 

meaning he is listening 

and taking his advice.” “Rick 

is a really good coach and has 

given me lots of things to work 

on, like my arm-swing and foot 

work,” said Ryan. “Richard 

Sims has also been a very good 

coach, and has been helping 

BOWLING BUFFS… 

The Bowlin’ Buffs have been very busy this spring semester; we have 

been to the east and west and everywhere in between the last six weeks. The 

Blue and Gold Classic in South Bend IN is where we will start, one of the oldest 

tournaments in the country, WT made the long trip and finished a respectable 

15th for both the men and women out of 60 teams that participated. Wendy 

Shelton from Albuquerque, NM led all WT women in averages and Taylor 

Coggins from Burleson, TX led all WT men in averages with a 204 average. 

West Texas A&M University 

BOWLING 

Just getting back from South Bend, we turn around and head to Las Vegas for the Rebel Classic. The teams 

bowled much better as both finished in the top 5. The women finished 3rd, while the men finished 5th. Kate 

Mulcahy from New Hampshire and Nicollette Yurich from Oklahoma City led WT women in averages with a 206 

average. Both Kate and Nicollette made all-tournament team. Aaron Johnston from Ft. Smith, AR led WT men in 

averages with a nice 220 average, he also placed 4th on the all-tournament team. 

With the confidence of the top 5 finish in a Tier I tournament, WT headed to Ft. Worth to bowl at Cowtown 

Bowling Palace for the SWIBC Championships. WT did not disappoint, with a 1st place finish for the women and 

a 2nd place finish for the men. Hannah Stedman from Albuquerque, NM led WT women in averages with a 216 

average. And for the men, we had Jimmy Ewell from Austin, TX lead all WT men with a 234 average and Taylor 

Coggins right behind his teammate with a 223 average, both making all-tournament team. At the conclusion of 

the Championship tournament, the All-Conference awards were handed out. West Texas Men and Women were 

overall Conference Champions, with Jimmy Ewell making the All-Conference team and WT’s Hannah Stedman was 

Bowler of the Year in the SWIBC Conference. 

Without having time to enjoy our conference titles, we were off to Indianapolis, IN to bowl in the Hoosier 

Classic. Perhaps the biggest collegiate tournament in the country with 80 of the best teams entered, this will 

be a true test of WT’s talents. This is the last regular tournament before we start our Sectional and National 

tournaments, so a good finish in the Hoosier will give us the confidence we need going into the last part of the 

season. Out of 80 teams, WT finished 13th for the men and 18th for the women. With Jimmy Ewell leading WT 

men with a 210 average and barely missing the All-tournament 

team by 5 pins. Leading the WT women was Hannah Stedman 

with a 183 average. 

We now have 3 weeks before WT heads to Euless, TX to 

bowl in the West Sectional where we will need to finish in the 

top 4 to qualify to go to Nationals in Columbus, GA. Between 

now and then you will see all of our players at the lanes 

practicing and getting their games sharp for this important 

tournament. Until next time… 

Mark Scroggins, WT Head Coach 

me forever, especially when I 

get lost and need help on the 

lanes.” Even though it doesn’t 

seem that he gets lost very 

often. 

Ryan and he good friend 

Zach Sims are regulars in the 

KCO Youth Scholarship tournaments 

that are held at different 

centers in Kansas and Missouri, 

and both have seen good 

success. So if you think he’s 

been bowling good so far, it’s 

most likely only going to get 

better from here. The family 

has decided that the time is 

right for Ryan to step out of the 

small pond and bowl against 

the big boys. He’s scheduled 

to bowl the SW PBA Regional 

in Junction City, KS on April 

30th. It will be interesting to 

see how he fares against the 

strong competition of a professional 

event.

“I like having fun when 

I bowl and the competitive 

people I bowl with. It’s in my 

blood. I love it so much that I 

don’t want to play any other 

sports,” he said. 

As for who his favorite 

bowler is, well that’s an easy 

one, Parker Bohn III, “he has 

been good for so long, and I 

want to be just like.”

The A&M’s finished strong 

at SWIBC Championship 

The SWIBC Conference 

Championships held at 

Cowtown Bowling Palace the 

weekend of February 12 & 13 

were dominated by the schools 

in the A&M family. The Lady 

Buffalo’s of West Texas A&M 

in Canyon, TX defeated the 

Texas A&M Aggies of College 

Station, TX in the final Baker 

match 3-0. In the semi-final 

match Texas A&M defeated 

LSU, and Our Lady of the Lake 

University by being the first 

team to win 3 Baker games 

for the right to play top-seeded 

West Texas A&M for the title. 

WTAMU dominated the final 

match averaging over 240 to 

win their fourth conference 

title of the year. 

On the men’s side, the 

reverse happened. Texas A&M 

defeated West Texas A&M 

3-2 to win the Conference 

Championship. Texas A&M 

earned their shot at the title 

by defeating the University of 

Houston and UNT in the semifinal 

match. The final match 

went the distance as WTAMU 

jumped out to a 2-game lead, 

only to watch Texas A&M 

come storming back with the 

straight wins, topped off with 

a 279-211 beating for the title. 

This marked Texas A&M’s first 

conference title of the year.

Bowling Championships was 

held Saturday February 12 at 

Tenpins & More, with twentyfive 

schools from across New

but defending champions, and 

hot favorites, Cleveland High

between the two local rivals in 

the next round. 

Cleveland was up for the 

occasion, winning 217-181 and 

239-193 leaving the Rams in 

fourth place. Cleveland then 

beat El Dorado to face Manzano 

for the coveted championship. 

Hundreds of spectators 

cheered every ball rolled as the 

two matches each went down to 

the third game, with Cleveland 

anchor, Danny Cobine both 

times throwing vital strikes in 

the tenth frame to eke out an 

emotional win. 

In the 1A-3A event, Poajaque

earlier eliminating three-time 

winners, East Mountain, while

SASBA title at Holiday Lanes in

Mark didn’t miss many hits

one game under 200. Jerry and

Indianapolis will host 

USBC Junior Gold, Youth 

Open in 2012 

ARLINGTON — The biggest 

youth bowling tournaments 

in the nation, the USBC Junior 

Gold Championships and the 

USBC Youth Open, will return 

to Indianapolis in 2012. 

Woodland Bowl, Western 

Bowl and Expo Bowl will be

with the semifinals and finals 

to be contested at Woodland 

Bowl. Expo Bowl will be the 

site of the Youth Open. 

The three centers played 

host to the events in 2009 and 

2010. 

“Indianapolis has been a 

popular destination for our 

youth bowlers,” International 

Bowling Campus Director 

of Youth Development Chad 

Murphy said. “The staff at 

Royal Pin, which operates the 

centers, has done a tremendous 

job with our events and we 

look forward to again working 

with the centers on these 

outstanding events.” 

The Junior Gold 

Championships will run July 

14-20, 2012. The Youth Open is 

scheduled for July 13-29, 2012. 

Western Bowl also will 

host the Survivor Tournament,

CDB, THE NEW 


wanting to bowl. It’s a wonderful 

idea that the vast majority 

of people will probably agree 

with, but have we actually seen 

the results we wanted…Carolyn 

answered the question before 

I asked it. “In bowling we 

come up with these great 

programs and ideas, roll them 

out, and then see if they can 

fly on their own. There is no 

follow-up, what can we do to 

make it better for you, are you 

happy, these are all questions 

that need answers, and we 

will make that a major area of 

focus.” 

The Youth Education 

Services (YES) Fund led by IBC 

Director of Youth Development, 

Chad Murphy is a wonderful 

program in its infancy. They 

will be a partner and hopeful 

benefactor of the increased 

focus on coaches. In the case 

of YES, they are looking for 

volunteer coaches to help with 

the development of bowlers 12 

years old and younger. The increased 

focus and response that 

Dorin-Ballard hopes to bring 

to all levels of coaching should 

be an enabler to Murphy and 

the YES program. It’s all about 

stimulating those that don’t 

bowl today to try the sport, 

learn the sport, and love the 

sport. After all, what’s a better 

family sport than bowling? 

Carolyn won’t be alone in 

her new endeavor; she will 

have a staff of approximately 

five that will be focused on 

several areas. “We have 

programs for women bowlers 

because the physical makeup 

of a woman bowler and teaching 

a woman and is different 

from men. Also, we are still 

investigating the mechanics 

of the two-handed bowler and 

how it affects the body, to 

name a few,” she said. 

“There are tons of great 

coaches out there that we don’t 

even know about, and I’m quite 

sure that they have great ideas 

that no one else has thought of. 

We need to get the feedback, 

collect the data and see what’s 

the best direction to go,” said 

Dorin-Ballard. 

You can bet that CDB will 

be out there mixing it up with 

the coaches, the bowlers, and 

with the sport of bowling in 

general. This position demands 

a people-oriented conversation 

initiator, and I don’t know 

many better than Carolyn. 

Bowling needs passionate, motivated 

people to lead their key 

positions, and we just found a 

good one. Stay tuned for more 

from your USBC Director of 

Coaching.

O’Neill tops voting for US 

Bowler All-America team 

ARLINGTON — For the first 

time in his career, Team USA’s 

Bill O’Neill of Southampton, 

Pa., has been named to the US 

Bowler All-America team. 

O’Neill was the leading 

vote-getter after winning 

two titles on the Lumber 

Liquidators Professional 

Bowlers Association Tour in 

2010 and three gold medals 

at the 2010 World Tenpin 

Bowling Association World 

Men’s Championships. Voters 

for the All-America teams used 

statistics from the calendar 

year 2010 to make their 

decisions. 

O’Neill totaled seven top-10 

finishes on the PBA Tour in 

2010, including victories at the 

U.S. Open and the PBA Viper 

Championship. He also won 

the singles, all-events and 

team gold medals at the World 

Championships in Munich, 

Germany. 

Joining O’Neill on the men’s 

All-America team are Walter 

Ray Williams Jr. of Ocala, Fla., 

Tommy Jones of Simpsonville, 

S.C., Mike Scroggins of 

Amarillo, Texas, and Chris 

Barnes of Double Oak, Texas. 

For Williams, it is his 18th 

appearance on the All-America 

team. 

US Bowler, the official 

membership publication of 

the USBC, also recognizes 

five women and five senior 

All-Americans. 

Kelly Kulick of Union, 

N.J., was the women’s top 

vote-getter after dominating 

the major women’s events in 

2010. In addition to topping the 

men at the PBA Tournament 

of Champions, Kulick won 

the USBC Queens and the U.S. 

Women’s Open. 

In earning her All-America 

spot for the fifth consecutive 

year, Kulick also won two gold 

medals (doubles and team) 

representing Team USA at the 

2010 Pan American Bowling 

Confederation Women’s 

Championships. 

Liz Johnson of Cheektowaga, 

N.Y., Carolyn Dorin- 

Ballard of Keller, Texas, Wendy 

Macpherson of Henderson, 

Nev., and Shannon Pluhowsky 

of Kettering, Ohio, join Kulick 

on the women’s team. 

For the seniors, Wayne 

Webb of Columbus, Ohio, 

won three of the seven PBA 

Senior Tour events in which he 

competed and finished second 

in another. 

Webb captured one of 

the PBA Senior Tour’s major 

events, the USBC Senior 

Masters, while also claiming 

titles at the Senior Columbus 

Open and the Senior Jackson 

Open. 

Joining Webb on the senior 

All-America team is Tom Baker 

of King, N.C., Mark Williams 

of Beaumont, Texas, and Steve 

Ferraro of Kingston, N.Y. 

Rounding out the senior team 

is Walter Ray Williams Jr., who 

became the first player to earn 

a spot on the men’s team and 

the senior team in the same 

year. 

The US Bowler All-America 

teams are selected in voting 

by a national panel of bowling 

journalists, USBC Hall of 

Famers and USBC association 

leaders. Each All-American will 

be presented with a customized 

plaque.

I can’t say that I watched 

every PBA event on ABC 

during the glory days of 

bowling because of military 

commitments. Between 1962 

and 1997 during the heyday of 

Chris Schenkel and Bo Burton I 

was in Germany, Vietnam and 

Korea. I now try to catch those 

events on ESPN Classic. 

The things I notice most 

about those earlier events were 

the accuracy and consistency 

of the bowlers. It was a time 

when shot making and spare 

shooting were extremely 

important. The occasional wall 

shot was the only shot considered 

lucky at the time. There 

was no area shot. You were not 

rewarded for throwing a bad 

shot. A 210 versus 202 was a 

good game. 

When Glenn Allison rolled 

his unapproved 900 series 

in 1982 it was considered an 

almost impossible fete. Now 

18 bowlers have recorded that 

series. Many of us only recognize 

Allison’s series and so 

should bowling’s integers. 

Schenkel and Burton were a 

By Don Wright 

class act in the booth. Schenkel 

was not only knowledgeable 

about the sport; he truly cared 

for the bowlers. Burton, soft 

spoken, smart, and savvy 

enough to know when to talk 

and when to keep quiet and let 

the moment speak for itself. He 

was so good at his job that he 

was nominated for and Emmy 

four times (1982, 1983, 1985 

and 1987). 

The prize money during the 

early days was minimal. Don 

Carter was the leading money 

winner in 1962 having competed 

in 32 events, winning less 

that $50,000. It wasn’t until 

1975 that we saw Earl Anthony 

become the first bowler to earn 

over $100,000. 

Okay, so I enjoy “the good 

old days,” and look at bowling 

today in an entirely different 

light. For one thing the game 

is much easier today than it 

was back in 1962. Lane conditions 

dictate a lot of that as 

does the so called high-tech 

bowling balls. Because of those 

“improvements” it made bad 

bowlers good, good bowlers 

If you don’t want to get locked into a long 

league. Join a short season league. 

Bring a friend and have a lot of fun bowling 

3 games each week for 10 weeks.

excellent, and gave some excellent 

bowlers huge egos. 

Averages were inflated; honor 

scores went through the roof, 

leagues declined and competitive 

bowling suddenly became a 

recreation in the eyes of most. 

The broadcast booth has 

become comedy central rather 

than a tool to educate and 

inform viewers about the 

actual sport of bowling. Yelling 

“Hambone” and “Yahtzee” 

and reciting three or four 

words of the Finnish language 

won’t earn you an Emmy 

nomination. 

So what does all this mean? 

Maybe nothing to some of you, 

but to me it has changed my 

mind about the sport. Where 

as I tried to never miss an ABC 

telecast, now they don’t seem 

that important to me. 

My league bowling has 

dropped off to subbing maybe 

once or twice a year on a senior 

league where as I used to bowl 

four nights a week and also sub. 

Watching someone bowl 300 

once drew everyone in the center 

to that pair of lanes, now 

you are lucky if anyone notices 

except those on the same pair. 

Honor scores are so prolific 

that it completely changed how 

and what the USBC awards.

sport. Gary Beck, founder of 

the Teen Masters and a staunch 

supporter of youth bowling, 

wrote “It does not take 20/20 

vision to see that the end of 

certified youth bowling is

on our current path, certified 

youth bowlers will become

WRIGHT IN THE HEART 


men. 

Let’s face it us die hard 

bowling fans are few and far 

between, I had a chance last 

week to talk to a man who 

bowled almost every night of 

the week and was a very good 

bowler. He hasn’t bowled in 

more than ten years. I asked 

him why he quit and he said “I 

just didn’t enjoy it any more.” 

I’m not quite at that stage 

yet. I still enjoy the game, my 

bowling friends, my association 

and the memories of being 

“On the Road Again,” as Willie 

would say. The competition 

just isn’t as important as it 

used to be and at my old age I 

really enjoy my senior league, 

you know that one I just sub in 

once in a blue moon. 

Well, that’s my perspective. 

Time for a cold one and ESPN 

Classic. I have several early 

events recorded for my viewing 

pleasure. 

See you on the lanes.

Construction begins at USBC 

Women’s Championships 

ARLINGTON — During the 

next few weeks, The Oncenter 

Convention Center in Syracuse, 

N.Y., will be transformed into a 

state-of-the-art 48-lane bowling 

facility that will be the 

home of the 2011 United States 

Bowling Congress Women’s 


On Monday, Feb. 21, crews 

started bringing in more than 

30 truckloads of materials 

needed to construct the venue, 

which also includes vendor 

and office space, a squad room, 

a locker area and spectator 

seating. 

The finished product will be 

the biggest stage in women’s 

bowling, and the 2011 Women’s 

Championships is expected 

to bring more than 30,000 

bowlers to Syracuse during its 

88-day run from April 7-July 3. 

The amount of lumber 

required for the venue is 

enough to construct at least 

five three-bedroom homes, and 

more than six miles of wiring 

is required to handle the 

tournament’s electrical needs. 

The first piece of the 

installation process will be 

the tournament’s custom 

scoreboards. The scoreboards 

are comparable to the oversized 

screens often found 

in sports venues and arenas 

across the country, but offer a 

clearer picture thanks to the 

latest technology. They feature 

enhanced graphics with 4.4 

trillion colors and streaming 

video capabilities and make 

up the world’s largest mobile 

scoreboard of its kind. 

The setup also includes a 12 

feet by 9 feet, high-definition 

video display screen over the 

tournament’s traditional Center 

Aisle. 

Construction on the 48 

championship lanes was 

scheduled to begin Feb. 28. 

The 2011 event marks the 

second time the tournament 

will be held in a conventioncenter 

setting. Prior to last 

year’s event in El Paso, Texas, 

the tournament was contested 

in traditional bowling centers 

when not held at the National 

Bowling Stadium in Reno, Nev. 

(every third year since 1997). 

The tournament first was held 

in 1916, and 2011 will be the 

92nd year of competition. 

“The move to the convention-center 

setting helped boost 

the prestige and excitement 

that surrounds the Women’s 

Championships and really gave 

the event a championship feel,” 

said Brian Lewis, USBC Managing 

Director of Tournaments. 

“Participants enjoyed the new 

look in 2010, and we hope 

to make this year even more 

memorable.” 

The Women’s Championships 

returns to New York 

state for the first time since 

1996. It previously was held 

in Syracuse in 1940 and 1954 

with 1,185 and 4,538 five-player 

teams, respectively.

World Bowling Tour rankings 

ARLINGTON — After two 

events on the new World 

Bowling Tour presented by 

the World Tenpin Bowling 

Association, Finland’s Mika 

Koivuniemi maintained his 

lead at the top of the men’s 

rankings, while Carolyn Dorin- 

Ballard of the United States 

moved into the women’s lead. 

Koivuniemi, who won the 

season-opening tournament 

at the Brunswick Ballmaster 

Open, took third place at the 

second event of the season, the 

United States Bowling Congress 

Masters, and has a total of 

85 ranking points. In the 

stepladder finals of the USBC 

Masters, which were aired 

nationally on ESPN, Koivuniemi 

lost in the semifinals to 

American Tom Hess, 254-219. 

Sean Rash of the United 

States retained his second 

place position in the rankings 

with 51 points. Rash finished 

second to Koivuniemi at the 

Ballmaster Open and took 20th 

place at the USBC Masters. 

Hess, who won the Masters 

with a 230-206 victory over 

fellow American Jack Jurek, 

moved into third place with 50 

points, while Chris Barnes of 

the United States sits in fourth 

place with 45 points. 

In the women’s rankings, 

Dorin-Ballard is the only player 

who has competed in both events 

to open the season and has a total 

of 70 ranking points. She finished 

second among the women at the 

Ballmaster Open and then took 

fourth in the women’s field at the 

USBC Masters. 

Finland’s Krista Pollanen, who 

earned the top ranking points 

at the Ballmaster Open, is tied 

for second place with American 

Kelly Kulick with 50 points. 

Kulick topped the women’s field 

at the USBC Masters and finished 

29th overall.

By John Jowdy, PBA Hall of Fame 

Plans are underway for 50 

years of Women’s Pro Bowling 

Exhibit scheduled to open in 

June 2011 during Bowl Expo. 

This exhibit is long overdue. 

Women professional bowlers 

have played a major role in 

promoting the game and 

richly deserve an exhibit that 

features their accomplishments. 

The 50 years of Women’s Pro 

Bowling Exhibit will display 

rare photographs and artifacts 

from the greatest bowlers of 

all time, including moments 

that made a difference and 

the impact on television. It 

will remember the pioneers 

that made all that followed 

possible and will celebrate the 

tremendous contributions of 

the key people who created the 

organized tours. The exhibit 

will honor the female legends 

by showcasing the top bowlers 

from each decade including 

Hall of Fame members, Bowlers 

of the Year, Bowlers of the 

Decade, and significant record 

holders. The individuals most 

responsible for over-seeing this 

great project are Chairman of 

the committee, Jim Goodwin,

(Teams may be 5 Men, 5 Women or Any Mixed Combination) 

Limited to 

first 96 teams 

Fran Deken, John Sommer 

and none other than Joan 

Romeo, who, in my opinion 

is the most successful, most 

energetic, and certainly the 

most UNDERPAID promoter of 

events in all of bowling. Romeo 

leaves no stones unturned in 

her relentless effort to further 

the growth of bowling, both 

in America, as well as other 

foreign countries. Nonetheless, 

the aforementioned work 

closely with Pat Cinello, Chairman 

of the Executive Board, 

Keith Hamilton Vice Chair, 

and Kelli Briscoe, the new 

curator of the museum. All are 

involved to some degree and 

all provide input. Joan Romeo 

spearheaded the fundraising 

and promotion. She is never 

shy in her presentations to any 

casino, bowling manufacturer, 

major corporation, or any 

bowling related business. More 

often than not, she succeeds in 

selling her product. Romeo is 

no neophyte in public relations 

or promotional undertakings. 

From 1985 to 1987, she was 

Director of Client Services for 

Pearlman Wohl Inc in Century 

Handicap 80% from 220 

Optional Scratch Team, Doubles, Singles and All-Events. 

Ball Give-Away 

during team 

squads. See our 

Web Site for more 

details. 

Brackets & Highpots 

Over $30,000 paid out in prize fund and brackets in 2010 

Hosted by 

Terrell Bowling Center 

Presented by 

City, a suburb of Los Angeles. 

Pearlman Wohl’s clients 

included Air New Zealand , 

Lamps Plus, and Buick Motor 

Division. From 1988 to 1995, 

Joan became Vice President 

of The Pearlman Group, 

Incorporated, a company that 

represented Chevrolet Motor 

Division, Permanent Charities 

Committee of the Entertainment 

Industry, Sterling 

Vineyards, and Ticketmaster. 

In 1995, she started her own 

company, concentrating 

principally in bowling related 

projects. Her clients include 

Master Industries, Twelve 

Strike, CWBA, Corbin Bowl, 

USA Bowling, and FIQ. She 

is currently President of the 

California Bowling Writers, is a 

member of the Bowling Writers 

Association of America Board 

of Directors, a member of BPAA 

International Committee, and, 

as previously stated, a member 

of the International Bowling 

Museum and Hall of Fame 

committee for the new exhibit, 

50 Years of Women’s Pro Bowling. 

Perhaps there is added 

incentive to Joan Romeo’s 

passion for the aforementioned 

exhibit. She is the mother 

of Robin Romeo, one of the 

greatest female bowlers in the 

history of the game. Robin is 

an absolute cinch for a spot in

the exhibit. Robin’s record includes 

17 National Professional 

titles, (including two majors) 

four WIBC titles, (two All- 

Events, one doubles, one team) 

seven California State titles, 

two New York State titles and 

one USBC All-Events. Additionally, 

Robin is in seven bowling 

Halls of Fame, including the 

USBC Hall of Fame. Robin’s
