ALLEN PARK, Mich. – Behind consecutive strikes
by Tommy Jones, Pete Weber and Scott Norton,
Billie Jean King’s New York City WTT KingPins
defeated the top qualifying team, Kevin Hart’s
Philadelphia Hitmen, 222-198, to win the PBA
League Carmen Salvino round at Thunderbowl
Lanes.
The second of five rounds of PBA League compe-
tition aired on ESPN.
With their win in the Salvino round, the KingPins
(John Szczerbinski, Jack Jurek, Jones, Weber and
Norton) earned 12 points toward the Elias Cup finals,
which will be held March 31 at Woodland Bowl in
Indianapolis. After two events, the KingPins lead
Jesse Williams’ BROOKLYN STyLES in the points
race, 24-20.
“This was a blast for me,” Weber, the KingPins’
franchise player, said. “There was no choice but to
have Scott (Norton) bowl anchor. He was the hottest
bowler in the building during the Detroit Winter
Swing. And I wanted John (Szczerbinski) to lead off
because he’s that good. He showed us where we
needed to throw the ball and that’s what we fed off
of.”
Szczerbinski is an experienced team competitor as
a Team USA member and a former collegiate All-
American at Wichita State.
In the semifinal match, Jurek, Jones, Weber and
Norton put together a string of four strikes which
helped the KingPins topple the hometown-favorite
Motown Muscle, 225-192.
In the opening match, Norton struck in the fifth
frame and three times in the 10th to lock up a 223-
191 win over Terrell Owens’ Dallas Strikers. The
Strikers, who finished eighth in the Salvino qualify-
ing round, earned their berth in the stepladder finals
when Rhino Page out-lasted a field of 11 in the Clash
eliminator, where each player threw one ball and the
lowest scoring player was eliminated until only one
player remained. Page nipped the Silver Lake Atom
Splitters’ Chris Barnes, 10-9, in the final round to win
the elimination event.

16-year-old Jake Rollins 290-770
In Youth Travel At Holiday BowlBy Vince Albrecht
OAKLAND, NJ - The Stan Niemiec youth travelers, led by 16-year-
old Jake Rollins, broke loose at Holiday Bowl for ten “600+” sets and
thirty-seven deuces. When the pins looked from their pin deck to see
Jake preparing to deliver that thunder ball of his, they wanted to find a
place to hide, but alas, they were rendered helpless when the talented
Rollins fired his ball down the lane. After a 212 opener, Jake, whose
Glen Rock team won the Bergen County Boys championship on
Saturday, zoned in from game two’s second frame through the finale’s
sixth frame, stringing seventeen strikes en route to games of 290-268 to
finish with 770, lifting his twenty-one game average to 244...yikes! His
Fair Lawn teammate Steven Plaszky added 204-200, but it wasn’t
enough to overtake Holiday I, which won five points with a 1002-2827
effort. Anchor Anastasia DeLeon powered her mates with 266-225: 678
and was assisted by Nick Cilento 222-204: 618, Graham Mulligan 206-
205 and Lilly Sigona 185.
In a key position week match-up, Bowler City II took over first place
by sweeping past Boonton. Southpaw Justin Garcia led the onslaught
with 234-220: 622 with ample support from Jonmikal Sepero 222-222:
612 and Kyle Schellberg 207; Boonton’s only deuce was Karl
Kattermann’s 203.
Bowler City I blitzed Bowler City IV with 983-2811 behind Rob
Gilbert, Jr 247: 686, Ryan Perez 247: 602, Eric Grabusnik 222 and
Vinny Santoro 216-203. BC III’s best came from Patrick Sucero 204,
Arielle Wallace 202 and ten-year-old Louis Ferrante 166.
Montvale opened with a stellar 1010 handicap score and went on to
take five points from Holiday II. The victors were buoyed by Katie
Didonato’s 224: 580, a season high, along with deuces from Matthew
Russell 216 and Kyle Ladewig 213. Holiday II registered six “200s”, but
couldn’t bridge the gap, dropping the finale by five pins. The quartet all
had a hand in the comeback effort: Kevin Macchia 243-214: 651,
Colette Malyack 234: 605, Joe Malyack 213: 600 and Frank Olandesi
214-202.
Bowler City IV earned seven points by comfortably surpassing aver-
age thanks to Nick Ferrante 214, Caitlyn Tombo 202, Greg Khan 201
and Nathan Tombo 199.

AT FARMINGDALE LANESJordan Lopez 300 Nick Reyes 299,
Evan Strassberg 289 in
Bergen County Boys TournamentBy Vince Albrecht
HACKENSACK, NJ - Lyndhurst sophomore Jordan Lopez
refined his two-hand delivery, resulting in a record 300 game, 802
set in the morning session of the Bergen County Boys Tournament
at Bowler City. He became only the third bowler to register a per-
fect game in the tournament and the first since Ridgefield Park’s
Steve Fernandez in 2003. Lopez’ six-game 1427 is the highest since
1988 when Cliffside Park’s Mark Orofino posted 1434. The fresh
oil was advantageous to the players, many of whom rang up
impressive numbers early. Bergenfield freshman Nick Reyes’
twelfth delivery was a tad high in the pocket, leaving him with 299
and Glen Rock freshman Evan Strassberg strung the first ten before
settling for 289.
The afternoon three-game block proved to be more challenging
for the participants who needed to adjust to the drier lanes. When
all was said and done, Glen Rock captured the Group I-II title and
became the first small school to win the overall championship since
Queen of Peace in 2006, when they outdistanced Group III-IV win-
ner Hackensack, 6022-5866.
Group I-II results: Glen Rock 6022, Lyndhurst 5548, Westwood
5405, Fort Lee 5303, Rutherford 5086, New Milford 4864, Ramsey
