SEATTLE, Wash. – Professional

Bowlers Association Hall of Famer

Walter Ray Williams Jr. added

another milestone to his illustrious

career by earning the 2010 PBA

Senior Rookie of the Year award.

Robert Harvey of Boise, Idaho was

selected the Senior Tour’s Dick

Weber Sportsmanship Award win-

ner.

Williams, the 50-year-old Senior

Tour rookie who earned a record

seventh PBA Player of the Year

honor earlier in the year, got the

news of his award at home in

Ocala, Fla., where he is recuperat-

ing from recent hernia surgery.

As a rookie on the Senior Tour,Williams won the PBA Senior

Miller High Life Classic in

Mooresville, N.C., in his Senior

Tour debut. He also finished sec-

ond to 2010 Senior Player of the

Year Wayne Webb in the United

States Bowling Congress Senior

Masters and had back-to-back

third-place finishes in the PBA

Senior Lake County Indiana and

Senior Pepsi Opens.

Williams, the PBA Tour’s all-time

leader in wins with 47 titles, chal-

lenged for Senior Player of the Year

going into the final tournament of

the season and would have been the

first to earn both honors in the same

year, but Webb’s victory eliminated

any chance for that honor.

“It seems a little odd to win a

Player of the Year and Rookie of

the Year award in the same year but

I had a great time bowling on the

Senior Tour,” Williams said. “I was

shooting for Player of the Year but

Wayne bowled very well and he

was able to clinch that award in the

last tournament of the season.

“I enjoyed meeting the new guys

and bowling against some of the

others I had bowled against in the

past, but I can tell you that there are

plenty of good players on the

Senior Tour.”

Williams discovered he had ahernia at the Senior Pepsi Open in

Decatur in August but was able to

finish the season before heading

home to have it checked out.

“I woke up one morning and

noticed a slight bump; otherwise I

wouldn’t have known it was there.

There was no pain and it didn’t

really affect my bowling,”

Williams said. “I had it checked out

when I got back home and the doc-

tor said ‘yeah, it’s a hernia.’

“Fortunately we were able to

schedule the surgery so I’ll be

ready for the World Series of

Bowling (which begins the PBA

Tour season Oct. 24 in Las Vegas).

I need to stay away from heavy lift-

ing for the next three weeks or so

but I should be ready to continue a

normal schedule a week or so prior

to the start of the season.”

Harvey, currently a pro shop

owner and instructor, lost the lease

on his 16-lane bowling center earli-

er this year which opened up his

schedule to bowl full time on the

Senior Tour.

“It’s a great honor,” said the 54-

year-old Harvey after receiving

news of the Sportsmanship award.

“It was a year that started good and

got even better as it went on.

“As fate would have it with the

center closing, it was an opportunityto turn lemons into lemonade. To be

able to win this award after being a

member for only four years is some-

thing that I wouldn’t have expected.”

Harvey had best finishes of sixth

in the PBA Senior HP Lanes Open

and seventh in the USBC Senior

Masters and finished 10th in Senior

Tour points.

Harvey, who has competed on the

Senior Tour since 2006, owns his

only title in the Illinois State BPA

Ladies and Legends with Kelly

Kulick in 2008. He is also getting

ready to compete in the PBA World

Series of Bowling next month.

Both were chosen by the players.

ARLINGTON, Texas - Kelly Kulick of Union, N.J., recently enjoyed

one of the most successful seasons in bowling history, and now she'shoping to continue that momentum at the 2010 Pan American Bowling

Confederation Women's Championships in suburban Las Vegas.

The experienced right-hander and her Team USA teammates will test

their skills against representatives from 13 other countries across the

American Zone when they hit the lanes at Sunset Station Hotel and

Casino's Strike Zone Bowling Center in Henderson, Nev.

Kulick will be joined by Shannon O'Keefe of Arlington, Texas,

Shannon Pluhowsky of Phoenix, Stefanie Nation of Grand Prairie,

Texas, Liz Johnson of Cheektowaga, N.Y., and Tennelle Milligan of

Arlington, Texas.

During the six-day event, nearly 100 players will compete for medals

in five-player team, trios, doubles, singles, all-events and Masters

match play.

The Americans have performed well at the PABCON Championships

in the past. Last year, the Team USA women won four of six gold

medals in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and in Santiago, Chile, in 2008, they

won all six gold medals.In her 2008 PABCON appearance, Kulick, a six-time Team USA

member, won gold medals in doubles, trios, team, all-events and

Masters, and she's excited about the chance to repeat that performance.

"It's refreshing to be able to bowl doubles, trios and team event dur-

ing this competition," said Kulick, whose first Team USA appearance

came in 1998. "It honestly reminds me of my collegiate years with

teammates screaming and rooting one another to victory. I always feel

there's a little less pressure knowing you have teammates who support

you and have the same desire to win as you do. I think it's nobler to

win with five other women than as an individual."

In the highly-coveted five-player team event, Team USA has won the

gold medal the past seven times and will look to extend that streak.

"I've always known what an honor and privilege it is to represent

your country," Kulick said. "And these women are my friends and

teammates. We come together for one reason, which is to win. With

each event, it gives us more experience working with one another and

preparing us for future events. That excites me and motivates me tocontinue working hard to master the game."

Kulick's recent dream season began in August of 2009 when she won

the Professional Bowlers Association Women's Series Shark

Championship. She found the winner's circle again in September with

a victory at the Women's World Championship, which earned her a

berth into the PBA Tournament of Champions. Kulick went on to win

the Tournament of Champions, becoming the first woman to win a

PBA national title.

Her streak continued with a win at the 33rd Canon Malaysian

International Open in March, the USBC Queens in April, the U.S.

Women's Open in May and the PBA Northwest Region Tacoma Dodge

Open in June.

Bowling statistics are a lot like

bathing suits. They show plenty,

but not everything.

For instance, the money winning

list is important, and the goal of

every pro is to top the list. Yet, a

bowler can get red hot in a string

of events, win them or finish high,

and maybe cop a super specialhigh paying event, and can

become the leading money winner,

even though he cashed in a small

percentage of the tournaments in

which he competed.

Good guides to a bowler's ability

are the percentage of cashes and

the average money won per tour-

nament.

Averages can be very deceiving,

among pros and amateurs. As we

all know, scoring conditions vary,

boy do they vary. In one event a

210 average could win, while in

another a 230 averages results in

an also-ran position. Thus you

could have one bowler with a lessthan 210 average who just hap-

pened to roll on all the most diffi-

cult lane conditions, and another

who averaged better than 220

because he happened to roll on the

soft conditions. In some cases the

lower average bowler could be a

better bowler.

There are unfair handicaps in

that area of bowling. A bowler can

roll in one center one night a week

in one league where conditions

create low scoring, and he can post

a legitimate average, true but low.

His handicap is based on that

average, and before it can be

adjusted, he can feast on easierconditions, and win some big prize

money.

And that's an honest bowler.

Imagine what can, and does hap-

pen, when a bowler plots and

plans the low average script.

Because bowling is such a num-

bers game, from the pin count of a

single ball to the grand total of

1,000 games or more, all sorts of

statistics are recorded. The trou-

ble comes when those statistics are

taken for gospel, rather than given

a close, second look.

One bowler can average 10 pins

higher than another but isn't as

valuable to a team because he

chokes in the clutch, or he gets

most of his big games when the

games are out of the wood, or hecomes up with a real big game

every now and then that carry a

lot of lesser games to a good aver-

age but losing efforts in team and

head to head competition.

Bowling still remains the rare

sport to overly reward beginners

for being terrible, and rewards

them even more if they get worse.

Not only that, but they are allowed

to roll for big money or major

awards after only a year or two in

the sport.

Handicaps were created to

equalize and find a way to put a

lower average bowler on a par

with those who are better so thatthey can fairly compete in the

same leagues and tournaments.

But contrary to much complain-

ing, too often too much handicap

is awarded, so much so that in

some events bowlers roll better

than 900 for a three game stint

and 800s and high 700s are com-

mon. They are not common in

ordinary play.

The major problem with most

handicap systems is that they are

based on the premise that every

bowler in every game is doing his

or her best. That just isn't so.

Too many bowlers seem to be

looking for too many edges in con-structing teams better than the

average limits. There was a time

when bowlers wanted to bowl

against the best and move up in

class by learning more against the

better bowlers rather than getting

more free pins.

Bowling statistics, like bathing

suits, should be a guide, because

there could be more than meets

the eye.

2 SPORTS REPORTER September 29 - October 5, 2010

The bowling world experiences two big losses. Henry J. “Jack”

Gonter, 74, Avenel died August 30. According to the obituary, he was

“an avid bowler, a lifetime member of the Union County Bowling

Association, serving as president from 1994 to 1996 and treasurer

from 1997 to 2004. He was also a lifetime member of the NJ State

Bowling Association, serving as their president from 2003 to 2004.

He was inducted into the Union County Hall of Fame in 2004 and NJ

State Hall of Fame in 2006. He was about to be honored October 12 in

Atlantic City by the Metropolitan Bowling Writers Association

(MBWA) for special service.” My friend Dan McDonough, who nom-

inated Gonter for the award, said, “He was one of these people who

never bragged about his achievements, who worked largely behind the

scenes and never took credit for all he did for bowling and for the asso-ciations he was in.”

David Michael Valerius, Haskell, died September 3 at the age of 54.

His involvement in bowling was that he was a member of the

Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) and Passaic County Bowling

Association Hall of Fame. He rolled eight 300 games and had three

800 series. He was married to another outstanding bowler, Stacy

Ricker. He bowled at Rockaway Lanes last season.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The PBA has made an announcement that is sure to please New

Jerseyans. After a one-year absence, the 68th U.S. Open will return to

Brunswick Zone Carolier in North Brunswick, N.J., Feb. 21-27, with

the addition of a unique three-day schedule of live television coverage.

Carolier had previously hosted five consecutive U.S. Opens between

2005 and 2009. The U.S. Open, considered by many to be the most

challenging title in all of bowling to win, is an extreme test of bowling

skill, patience and perseverance. What makes the U.S. Open special is

that non-professionals, men or women, are invited to compete against

the world’s top professionals on extremely demanding conditions.

Unique to the 2011 event will be three days of live television cover-

age, including the first-ever national network coverage of the final

round of round-robin match play on Saturday, Feb. 26, plus live cov-

erage of the “position round” – the dramatic final game of match play

which will determine the four players who will advance to the steplad-

der finals on Sunday, Feb. 27. The third show will provide live cover-

age of several matches during the final game in the opening round of

match play on Friday, Feb. 25.

The next chapter in U.S. Open history will begin with 18 qualifying

games for all players and continue through a grueling 51-game contest

to determine the four finalists. In addition to Scroggins, the other U.S.

Open champions at Carolier include Chris Barnes (2005), Tommy

Jones (2006), Pete Weber (2007) and Norm Duke (2008).

The first place prize money has not been disclosed yet, but this is a

Major title and is worth not only substantial prize money, but also a

two-year tour exemption for the winner.

Joan Tay l or ’ sTe n P i n R a p . . . .

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things

that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the

trade winds in your sails.

Explore. Dream. Discover."

-Mark Twain

HY-W AY BO W LROUTE 22, UNION, NJ

908-687-9300DANNY WILLIAMS, PROPRIETOR

AL BRIDGES, MANAGER

WEST HAVERSTRAW — Since

the Rockland County Bowling

Association was founded in the

1950s, it has seen its share of odd

bowling occurrences, both good

and bad.

This summer, the league bowlers

of the Triples Summer Classic at

Hi-Tor Lanes certainly got more

than enough bang for their buck.

Mike Kenney Sr., of Pomona,

broke the county's all-time high

series record when he fired back-

to-back games of 279, then tossed

a 300 in his third game for an 858

series. "This is such a tremendous

feeling," he said, following the set.

"It's the pinnacle of every bowler's

career to have a night like this,

where everything just goes right."

Kenney surpassed Dennis

Johnson's record set in 1999 by

just one pin.

"Anyone who knows me knows

I'm a numbers guy," he said. "I

know I need them all next game,

all you can do is just go out and try

to throw your best shot up there

every time." With 23 perfect

games and a dozen 800 series'

sanctioned by the United States

Bowling Congress, Kenney's no

stranger to honor scores, but even

with a previous high series of 825,Kenney saw Johnson's record as

many other bowlers do, untouch-

able. "That's some serious shoot-

ing," he said. "That's a 10-timer or

more in each game!"

Most of the league was watching

Kenney midway through the third

game, but when the word had

spread that a perfect game would

give him the county record, almost

all of the league flooded lanes 9

and 10.

"I thought it was just another

300," said Rob Varano, a member

of the league and proprietor of Hi-

Tor Lanes. "I was bowling right

next to him the entire night and

never noticed."

Kenney's final strike was greet-

ed with a roaring of cheers,

applause, handshakes and a few

hugs. "I'm very happy for him,"

said Varano. In three games,

Kenney struck 34 of the 36

frames, leaving a 10-pin in the

eighth frame in each of the first

two games.

While the record was incredible

for Kenney, his team's 9-0 sweep

was an added bonus. "I think it's

more important to battle and to

compete," he said. "I'd rather

shoot 170 and win than shoot 270

and lose, and that's the truth."

The night wasn't over for the

Kenney family.

While Kenney was chasing a

county record, a few lanes to the

right, his eldest son, Mike Jr., was

shooting for his first career 300

game. "When I saw that Mike Sr.

had the first nine and that Mike Jr.had the first seven, I said to him,

'What do you think? Father and

son 300?'," said Varano.

As rare as the achievement is, a

father/son duo has shot 300's on

the same night in Rockland

County, but the feat has never

been done in the same game.

Varano and his father, Saverio

Sr., co-owner of Hi-Tor Lanes,

almost accomplished perfectos on

the same night three years ago.

"We each had the first eight or

nine and it just hit me," said the

younger Varano. "Holy cow — we

could shoot 300 together!" At 73-

years young, the elder Varano did

his part, while his son fell two pins

short.

The Kenney men however, did

not fail.

Just nine minutes after his father

made Rockland County history,

Mike Kenney Jr. toppled his first

perfect game. "I'm so happy for

him," said Kenney Sr. "Mike has

always played second fiddle to my

younger son Chrys, this must have

felt great for him."

"All the Kenney men now have

300's, I'm so happy for my boys,"

said Kenney.
