Ho-hum, Sharkey wins again

 

Lonnie Sharkey annexed his 110th Kitsap Scratch Bowlers Association tournament when he won the Longhouse Market & Deli Open at Laurel Lanes in Port Angeles by connecting on 11 strikes to beat Louie Lazzarini 278-191 in the championship match.

Sharkey was the top qualifier through the semifinals with a score of 1142, including bonuses. He shot games of 236, 268 and 248 to gain the semifinals.

Val Burkett won the Lakeside Industries 205-and-under Division by beating Josh Alewine 192-191 in the TV Finale by striking in the 10th frame and adding a spare to just nip Alewine.

On Nov. 20 at Hi-Joy Bowl in Port Orchard, the team of Melissa Clewis, Tyler Hogstrom, Chris Rowland and Brian Irwin won the Hi-Joy Bowl/Artisan Tile & Mosaic Quad Swiss tournament that set a record for teams (26 of them).  It was the first KSBO win for Hogstrom and Rowland and the second title for Clewis and Irwin.

Next up is the Lakeside Industries Tournament set for Dec. 3 at Hi-Joy Bowl. This is also the Toys for Tots event. The KSB has been involved with Toys for Tots since 1985 and has raised almost $15,000 for the charity. Bowlers are asked to bring non-perishable items and new toys or money to donate. This is the last KSBO Tournament before the holiday break.
