Mike Semacik Rolled First 300 at Wallington DUBLIN, Calif. (Jan. 17, 2010) – Anthony LaCaze, a 27-year-old rookie from Melrose Park, Ill., won his first Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour title Sunday, throwing three clutch strikes in the ninth and 10th frames to defeat Michael Machuga of Erie, Pa., 214-206, in the title match of the Earl Anthony Memorial at Earl Anthony’s Dublin Bowl. Stefanie Nation of Grand Prairie, Texas, virtually matched LaCaze, throwing three strikes in her 10th frame to nip Lynda Barnes of Double Oak, Texas, 201-181, for the Anthony women’s title. LaCaze, in his second career Professional Bowlers Association television appearance, trailed until he threw the biggest strike of his life in the ninth frame and followed with two more strikes in the 10th to force Machuga to double in his 10th frame to win. Machuga got the first strike, but left a 10 pin on his second to hand the $25,000 first  prize and a berth in next week’s PBA Tournament of Champions to LaCaze. “It’s a great feeling,” LaCaze said. “I wanted to throw the best shots I could, and make Machuga throw the best shots he could, and whoever did it best would win. I’m speechless.” Machuga was on the same page. “My second shot in the 10tInh frame is as good as I can throw it,” he said. “You always have the mindset that your opponent is going to strike out. Anthony stepped up in the 10th frame, bowl- ing for his first title on very diffi- cult lane conditions, and threw it as good as you possibly can. I give him all the credit in the world.” “I always knew I could win,” LaCaze added, “but when you actually do it, it’s different. I’m up in the clouds right now.” LaCaze and Machuga both sur- vived low-scoring semifinal matches that set the stage for the title match. Machuga nipped Sean Rash of Wichita, Kan., in his semi- final match, 188-183. Machuga didn’t have two strikes i n a row, but otherwise bowled an error-free game until he failed to convert the 3-10 split in the 10th frame. But Rash missed a pair of single-pin spares and that proved to be his undoing. LaCaze, a former collegiate All- American bowler with Saginaw Valley State University, slipped  past Mike Wolfe of New Albany, Ind., 190-158, in the other semifi- nal match. LaCaze had a double late in the game, but a pair of splits and a pair of missed single-pin spares ended Wolfe’s hopes. In the PBA Women’s Series title match, Nation jumped into the lead with strikes in the first and second frames, but couldn’t build on her lead. An unconverted split in the sixth frame gave Barnes life, and Barnes then doubled in the eighth and ninth frames to take the lead. Even after she left the 4-6-7 split and opened in the 10th frame,  Nation had to mark to win. “I had it and I let it get away,” Barnes said. “I grabbed the ball in the 10th frame and pulled it. That’s what you tend to do when the lanes are as difficult as they were today.”  Nation, who lost the 2009 Earl Anthony women’s title with an errant shot in the final frame, threw three strikes in the 10th frame this time to avenge her loss a year ear- lier. “I was fortunate things fell my way,” said Nation, who won her second PBA Women’s Series title. “It was a very difficult lane condi- tion. You had to make good shots and hope. I followed my gut, made a move and I was able to strike out in the 10th frame. That was the dif- ference.” In addition to a $10,000 prize, the victory also earned Nation the final  berth in the PBA Women’s Series Showdown which will be conduct- ed in April at the new United States Bowling Congress International Training and Research Center in Arlington, Texas. Kelly Kulick, Union, N.J.; Shannon Pluhowsky, Kettering, Ohio; Liz Johnson, Cheektowaga, N.Y.; Carolyn Dorin-Ballard, Keller, Texas, and Michelle Feldman, Auburn, N.Y., have already qualified for the spe- cial event during the PBA World Series of Bowling.

Mike Semacik Rolled First 300 at Wallington

DUBLIN, Calif. (Jan. 17, 2010) – 

Anthony LaCaze, a 27-year-old

rookie from Melrose Park, Ill., wonhis first Lumber Liquidators PBA

Tour title Sunday, throwing three

clutch strikes in the ninth and 10th

frames to defeat Michael Machuga

of Erie, Pa., 214-206, in the title

match of the Earl Anthony

Memorial at Earl Anthony’s Dublin

Bowl.

Stefanie Nation of Grand Prairie,

Texas, virtually matched LaCaze,

throwing three strikes in her 10th

frame to nip Lynda Barnes of 

Double Oak, Texas, 201-181, for 

the Anthony women’s title.

LaCaze, in his second career 

Professional Bowlers Association

television appearance, trailed untilhe threw the biggest strike of his

life in the ninth frame and followed

with two more strikes in the 10th to

force Machuga to double in his

10th frame to win. Machuga got

the first strike, but left a 10 pin on

his second to hand the $25,000 first

  prize and a berth in next week’s

PBA Tournament of Champions to

LaCaze.

“It’s a great feeling,” LaCaze

said. “I wanted to throw the best

shots I could, and make Machuga

throw the best shots he could, and

whoever did it best would win. I’m

speechless.”

Machuga was on the same page.“My second shot in the 10tInh

frame is as good as I can throw it,”

he said. “You always have the

mindset that your opponent is

going to strike out. Anthony

stepped up in the 10th frame, bowl-

ing for his first title on very diffi-

cult lane conditions, and threw it as

good as you possibly can. I give

him all the credit in the world.”

“I always knew I could win,”

LaCaze added, “but when you

actually do it, it’s different. I’m up

in the clouds right now.”

LaCaze and Machuga both sur-

vived low-scoring semifinal

matches that set the stage for thetitle match. Machuga nipped Sean

Rash of Wichita, Kan., in his semi-

final match, 188-183. Machuga

didn’t have two strikes in a row, but

otherwise bowled an error-free

game until he failed to convert the

3-10 split in the 10th frame. But

Rash missed a pair of single-pin

spares and that proved to be his

undoing.

LaCaze, a former collegiate All-

American bowler with Saginaw

Valley State University, slipped

 past Mike Wolfe of New Albany,

Ind., 190-158, in the other semifi-

nal match. LaCaze had a double

late in the game, but a pair of splitsand a pair of missed single-pin

spares ended Wolfe’s hopes.

In the PBA Women’s Series title

match, Nation jumped into the lead

with strikes in the first and second

frames, but couldn’t build on her 

lead. An unconverted split in the

sixth frame gave Barnes life, and

Barnes then doubled in the eighth

and ninth frames to take the lead.

Even after she left the 4-6-7 split

and opened in the 10th frame,

 Nation had to mark to win.

“I had it and I let it get away,”

Barnes said. “I grabbed the ball in

the 10th frame and pulled it. That’s

what you tend to do when the lanesare as difficult as they were today.”

  Nation, who lost the 2009 Earl

Anthony women’s title with an

errant shot in the final frame, threw

three strikes in the 10th frame this

time to avenge her loss a year ear-

lier.

“I was fortunate things fell my

way,” said Nation, who won her 

second PBA Women’s Series title.

“It was a very difficult lane condi-

tion. You had to make good shots

and hope. I followed my gut, made

a move and I was able to strike out

in the 10th frame. That was the dif-

ference.”

ARLINGTON, Texas -

International Bowling Museum

and Hall of Fame (IBM/HF)

Chairman Pat Ciniello has

announced that the not-for-profit

organization has eclipsed its capi-

tal fundraising goal of $1 million

from the bowling community.

"We are lucky to serve in an indus-

try that has so many generous

individuals and organizations,"

Ciniello said. "The bowling indus-

try should take a bow as it really

came through during this econom-

ic downturn by generating $1.1million in donations and commit-

ments. But we aren't done yet."

Ciniello expects to see additional

contributions over the next few

months. "There are other people

and groups who would like to con-

tribute to the building of the new

IBM/HF," he said. "Those who

donate in excess of $5,000 will be

  permanently displayed in

Arlington." Ciniello added he

hopes the Arlington community

and local businesses will match

the funds raised by the bowling

industry.

A recent surge in donations by

state Bowling Proprietors'

Association of America and

United States Bowling Congress

associations has complemented

the $50,000 Diamond Level con-

tributors. Those Diamond Level

contributors are (in alphabetical

Bowling’s Future isRed, White and Blue

ARLINGTON, Texas – For the past several months, the United States

Bowling Congress Equipment Specifications and Certifications team

has been testing the new USBC Red, White and Blue patterns, newly

created “house” oil patterns designed to present bowlers with conditions

of varying difficulty as they progress from beginning bowlers to USBC

Sport Bowling members.

To date, the results of all field tests have fallen in line with USBC’s

intended and predicted ranges regarding scoring pace and equity to

 bowlers of all styles; nevertheless, USBC was looking for a higher level

of affirmation regarding the Red, White and Blue patterns. That’s just

what it got during the Pepsi Red, White and Blue Open presented by the

USBC, which was held Dec. 7-13 at Northrock Lanes in Wichita, Kan.

During that event, USBC analyzed the scores of the 24 bowlers thatadvanced to match play because those players rolled 16 games on each

of the three oil patterns, Red, White and Blue. This group, which fea-

tured both right-handed and left-handed bowlers of varying bowling

styles, was tracked in order to determine whether the Red, White and

Blue patterns displayed the same difficulty typical league bowlers expe-

rienced – Red being the least challenging, Blue being the most challeng-

ing – and whether or not that difficulty was distributed equitably.

“Interestingly, the PBA players scored higher on the White pattern

than on the Red,” said Neil Stremmel, USBC Vice President – National

Governing Body. “This was not a surprise because the extreme wall on

the Red pattern that helps average bowlers can actually hurt elite players

 by causing their balls to over- and under-react. Still, in a typical league

setting, our data shows Red will be the highest scoring of the three pat-

terns.

“But what was truly encouraging about this event was the fairness the

three patterns showed to all bowlers. Just look at the TV finalists. You

have two lefties (Patrick Allen and Mike Scroggins) and four righties

(Walter Ray Williams Jr., Mike Machuga, Michael Fagan and Wayne

Garber) that represent every style – straight players, high-rev players

and everything in between. That just goes to show that nobody is shut

out on these patterns. Players of all styles can succeed, and that is exact-

ly what we expected to see.” The USBC Equipment Specifications and

Certifications team also expected high scores, which it got as the five-

day tournament featured several bowlers averaging in excess of 240 as

well as a PBA Tour-record 31 perfect games.

“The scores were very high, but people need to realize the Red, White

and Blue patterns are house patterns, not USBC Sport Bowling or PBA

  patterns,” USBC Technical Director Steve Kloempken said. “Even the

USBC Blue pattern, which is the hardest of the three, is a great deal less

challenging than what the PBA pros bowl on week in and week out.

Remember, these are the best bowlers in the world. They routinely aver-

age 220 or better on most of their patterns, so it really isn’t surprising to

see them average 10 to 20 pins higher on the Red, White and Blue house

 patterns.”

If the results of current tests continue to fall in line, USBC will finalizethe initial testing process and move forward by gathering data at select

city and state tournaments this spring. Currently, USBC is still on track 

for a Fall 2010 roll out of these new patterns.

Will Blanco TopsYouth Travelers

HACKENSACK, NJ - Fourteen-

year-old Will Blanco was denied

his “700” series by a solid 8-10

 pocket hit late in his third game,

 but still emerged as Bowler of the

Week with his 245-676 in Youth

Travel League action at Bowler 

City on Sunday afternoon.

Aided by strong over-average

sets from just turned 11-year-old

David Grant 187-495 and 13-year-

old Ryan Perez 179-492, Will’s

Bowler City team reclaimed sec-

ond place, a game off the top, by

sweeping past Montvale II despitestrong scores from Bryan

O’Flaherty 224-638, Bobby

McCarthy 211-619 and Nick 

Rossi 213. Fair Lawn II main-

tained their slim hold on first place

  by turning back Holiday Bowl I

  behind young Jake Rollins 234-

646; in so doing, the talented 13-

year-old raised his league average

to 196. Instrumental in Holiday I’s

single win was 14-year-old Jen

Andresen who tallied a 54-pin

over norm game; her older brother 

Rob had the squad’s solitary deuce

with 202.

In other matches, Montvale I

leapfrogged to fourth place bysnatching two of three games from

Fair Lawn I; Montvale I anchor 

Brian Galbraith lifted his average

to 201 with 231-623 and teammate

Cassidy Fiore had her best outing

to date with 210-579. Leading Fair 

Lawn I was Simon Lezaja

221,196; his 196, coupled with 10-

year-old Madison Perry’s 30-pin

over average middle game and

Marla Auslander’s 192, earned

two points for the team. Holiday

Bowl II moved a step closer to

escaping the cellar by taking seven

 points from the vacancy as Colette

Malyack raised her league best

average among the girls to 181with her 222-591. Her younger 

 brother Joseph chipped in with an

above average 164 and Rich

Gutches added a second game

222.

week’s setback to the Cardinals by

turning the tables on the league

leaders, 5-2 in North Arlington’s

the Cards with scores of 224-191.

In other position matchups, third-

  place A Team held off Team

Awesome, taking two of three while

nine-year-old Nicole Fonseca pro-

evening’s schedule, Juicy squeezed

three games from the Ghosts behind

eleven-year-old Chris McBride’s

above-average scores.

This week’s Bantam leaders were

  Nicole Fonseca +29, Chris

McBride +17 and Margaret Ziobro

+8. Helping their junior teammates

ARLINGTON, Texas – Jim Zebehazy, the former 

Executive Director of the Young American Bowling

Alliance who has worked in the bowling industry

for more than 26 years, has been selected by the

United States Bowling Congress Youth Committee

to receive the 2010 USBC Kerm Helmer Horizon

Award.

“I had the good fortune to get to know and work 

with Kerm Helmer,” said Zebehazy, 56, of 

Leesburg, Fla. “He was someone who dedicated his

life to the betterment of youth bowling. He became

a good friend and mentor who helped me fully

understand the meaning of the phrase, ‘The youth

are our future.’ To win an award named in his honor 

is something that I never dreamed of, but humbly

accept.” Named for the team founder and longtime bowl-

ing coach at Erie Community College, the Kerm

Helmer Horizon Award recognizes leaders in the

youth bowling community who have displayed the

courage, determination and ability to develop far-

reaching programs of national scope that provide

fun and exciting opportunities. Helmer was select-

ed posthumously for the inaugural award in 2003.

Zebehazy started his career in the bowling indus-

try in the early 1980s as a field representative for 

the American Bowling Congress before taking over 

as ABC’s Group Executive for Field Service in

1990.

In 1998, he was named Executive Director of 

YABA, a position he held until the merger of the

sport’s major organizations to form USBC in 2005.

During his tenure with YABA, several new pro-grams, including what is known today as the USBC

Junior Gold program, were developed to provide

more competitive and scholarship opportunities for 

youth bowlers. He currently works as a field repre-

sentative for USBC.

“Jim Zebehazy has dedicated his life to the sport

of bowling, and in doing so, he has helped count-

less people, especially kids,” Michael Nyitray, a

USBC Gold coach and the 2009 USBC Kerm

Helmer Horizon Award winner, said in nominating

Zebehazy.

Zebehazy will be presented the award during the

USBC Convention, April 28-May 1 in Reno, Nev.
