Congratulations to Marty Sanders and Norman Smith on winning our inaugural Match-Up Doubles held at Lodge Lanes. Sanders and Smith defeated Mike Kereluk and Larry Walker 414-406 to take home the title. This was Sanders second SSO win, while Smith earned his first SSO title. The title match looked like a runaway until both Sanders and Smith opened in the 10th frame. Walker struck out in the 10th giving Kereluk a chance to win with a double. Mike got the first strike but left a 4 pin on his second shot ending the come back.
We had 74 bowlers for this event. Qualifying was led by Gerald Johnson with 1423 followed by Brad Gray with 1418. This meant these two teamed up the doubles portion of the elimination rounds. Johnson and Gray received a bye in the first round, but were eliminated in the second round.
The field averaged 206 during qualifying. Pat Bentley was the last man in for the Senior (S) group with a score of 1329, while the Super Senior (SS), Super Super Senior (SSS) and Ladies cut score was 1296 by Larry Salvati. Chris Dunson had the high score of the tournament with a 299 in game 2 of qualifying.

Hop on the Brian Newcomb train everyone! Brian captured his 1st SSO title last month at Astro Lanes, and continued his hot bowling at Woodland Lanes in Plymouth. In a tight final match, Newcomb defeated Jerry Sikora 268-257 to take home his second title and a check for $1,000. Sikora, looking for his 3rd SSO title, managed to find his way to the elimination round via the Super Seniors added outside of the cut and made the most of it with his 2nd place and received $500 for his efforts.
During qualifying, Dale Hofmeister started the day with 300 and never looked back posting an impressive 1530 to lead all qualifiers. Teri White was right behind Hofmeister with 1465, and Newcomb rounded out the top three with 1449. The cut score was Mike Kereluk with a 6-game qualifying score of 1329.
Other high games included Ravone Bentley 300, Mike Snow 300, Steve Kenyon 299 and Teri White with 290. SSO averaged 211 for the 6-game qualifying rounds.

As many as 7 but no fewer than 5 bowlers below the cut line could advance!
The top 2 Seniors, and the top 3 Super Seniors will always advance to the Elimination Rounds.
The top Super Super Senior and the top Female bowler below the cut line can also advance to the Elimination Rounds providing there are 4 or more in attendance. See Rule 7 for details.
