Please visit our website at www.wwpb.com. 2007 USBC Queens by John Jowdy In my opinion, the recent ESPN presentation of the 2007 USBC Queens television show was one of the best bowling shows ever. The production crew is deserving of an ESPY award. They more than made up for the so-so production of the Ladies Challenge in Las Vegas. From a personal standpoint, it wasn’t the most exciting or breathtaking bowling event I’ve ever witnessed. However, the tim- ing and format were innovative and stimulating. The scoring and the end result were not dramatic; nor were they really surprising. The event hardly resembled some of the PBA’s most drama-filled shows, particularly the Dick Ritger-Don Johnson finals of the Firestone Tournament of Champions at Akron April 4, 1970. Johnson de- feated Ritger, 299-268 in a match that had to be one of, if not the greatest bowling shows ever on TV. As a matter of fact, the camera shot of Johnson lying face down (after a 10-pin leave that pre- vented the Kokomo Kid from fashioning a perfect score) is one of the most acclaimed photographs in bowling history. The score and end result of the 2007 USBC Queens Tournament ran as one might expect. With all due respect to steller performances by the sharp-looking talented gals that made up the cast, Kelly Kulick had to be the odds-on favorite. After all, the mere fact she qualified for exemption on the men’s PBA regular tour proved, beyond all doubt, her role as favorite over the other finalists in the Queen’s tournament. Her bowling savvy was evident in her match against, arguably the greatest amateur female bowler in the world, Deandra Asbaty. Asbaty could not overcome Kulick’s experience in this prestigious event. Nonetheless, Asbaty displayed her superiority in amateur ranks talent a few weeks later when she won the World Ranking Masters at the Kegel Company Training Facilities in Florida. The WRM tournament featured the world’s best female players and further established Asbaty as the best amateur woman bowler on the planet. The ESPN production was superb. The telecast duo of Marshall Holman and Jan Schmidt was enlightening. Holman’s analysis was purely professional…insightful and low-keyed, ala ESPN’s base- ball analyst, Joe Morgan. The timing was near perfect. The cast, featuring FIVE bowlers in a 90-minute show, never missed a beat. Normally, in most five-player TV bowling shows, participants are subjected to bowling through commercials to conserve time. Fur- thermore, personal features and interviews consume much of the bowling activities and tend to hasten bowlers in closing frames. BUT, this was not the case in the 2007 Queens championships. As a matter of fact, TV fans were treated to one of the greatest innova- tions I have ever seen on any televised bowling show. In addition to displaying each player’s choice of equipment, each bowler explained in detail the expected reaction of the selected ball. Not only were these insights interesting and informative to the viewing audience; it was a long overdue acknowledgement and appreciation to manufac- turers who pay HUGE sums of money to register their products. I’m not sure who deserves credit for the stimulating innovations and fast-paced presentation of the 2007 USBC Queens Tourna- ment. However, if I had to guess, I suspect that Tom Clark, USBC Director of Communications, played a major role in the thought- provoking format. Chances are, we will witness more of these interesting renova- tions at the Women’s U.S. Open at the National Bowling Stadium August 12-18. Belair, Copeland, Marquez Make USBC Honor Roll With 2319 Trio Series by Frank Kietz LAKE FOREST —Southland scratch bowlers have not made the United States Bowling Congress/ABC national team high score honor roll in decades. Last Thursday night (May 17, 2007), Team 2 in Forest Lanes’ 615 Trios got extremely motivated. Mike Belair, Jeff Copeland and Mario Marquez posted a 782 adding games of 804 and 733 creating a 2319 for a national second high set behind Baton Rouge’s 2385. This was the second week’s play that hero Marquez lost one of a possible 17 match points in his 239 to Team 6’s anchor Herbert Jones’ 288. However, Belair (279) and Copeland (264) came through for the 782. Marquez warmed up blasting 300 and 290 for his 829 series. Belair played “can you top Mario” one strike short hitting a 290 and a 215 for a 784. Copeland, from the center, helped with deuces, 214 and 228 and a 706 cap. In Baton Rouge, Lyman Moon (789), Clay Duke (793) and Ronnie Landry (803) head the trios. The “Forest” trio edged the “Caddies” from Montana, WI by one pin, 2318. Now like the other trios, they will have to sweat until July 31, 2007 to see if they receive an award. Team 6 consisting of James Kubanis, Tim Hall and John Sowell, lead by 5 1/2 points over Team 10 and nine points over Team 8. Kubanis paced the leaders 15-2 near sweep with a 258/743. Sowell as usual did his share of stringing, 278/667. Hall was super the third game with a 259/655. Scramble On Over To Keystone Sat., May 26th NORWALK — Scrambler is the name of this fun Junior/ Adult tournament scheduled Saturday, May 26th at Key- stone Lanes.
