Vol. 74 No. 47 By Bill Vint - PBA LAS VEGAS After two years and more than 400,000 miles of global competition, reigning Professional Bowlers Association Player of the Year Sean Rash of Montgomery, Ill., along with PBA Tour titlist Kelly Kulick of Union, N.J., have won the World Bowling Tour Finals. Rash, a seven-time PBA Tour title winner, defeated Mike Fagan of Fort Worth, Texas, 255-231, to win the WBT Mens Finals presented by the PBA during the PBA World Series of Bowling V, hosted by South Point Hotel, Casino and Spa, while Kulick, the 2010 PBA Tournament of Champions winner, raced away from defending champion Missy Parkin of Laguna Hills, Calif., 267-194, to win the WBT Womens Finals. Both events aired on ESPN. Rash, who entered the WBT event as the leader in a two-year rolling points competition involving a series of WTBA/PBA International Tour tournaments held around the world, started his match against Fagan with seven strikes and was never challenged. Fagan had been nearly perfect himself in eliminating Finlands Mika Koivuniemi, 279-223, in the first match. Koivuniemi, who won the 2011 WBT Mens Finals and finished second in 2012, is the only player to make the series finals in all three years the competition has been held. Anytime you have a chance to compete, whether its in the U.S. or around the world, its fun, Rash said. Thats why youre an athlete. You love to compete. I came into this event with a different mindset, he added. The World Series wasnt as great as I would have liked, but it wasnt terrible. I feel great. Ive been bowling well for the past few months. My life has changed since the arrival of our new baby. Im in January 22 - 28, 2014 50 cents

Sean Rash and Kelly Kulick a happy place. You have to take advantage of opportunities, Rash continued. Mike got a little lost on the left lane and thats why I had him finish there. I kinda figured the first mistake would come on that lane and thats what happened. Its always good to win. It doesnt matter; it could be league. I like to win. In the all-U.S. womens preliminary match, Parkin held off Liz Johnson of Cheektowaga, N.Y., 198-195, but was no match for Kulick, who struck on every shot except for leaving a 10 pin (which she missed) in the eighth frame. The question Ive been asking myself is Am I still good enough to be out here? Should I keep doing this? Kulick said. The WBT event was just reassurance of my confidence level and my ability as a player. I came out to prove something to nobody except myself today. It was just sheer determination to beat whomever I had to face. Its almost a relief knowing I won again.

Karl Kattermann Blasts 719 in Youth Travel Action

By Vince Albrecht FAIR LAWN, NJ - In an anchor player faceoff against reigning North Jersey High School Bowler of the Year Jake Rollins, Montville junior Karl Kattermann remained in a hot zone firing a blazing 254-206-259-719 to Jakes 204258-225-687. Karls huge effort helped Boonton storm to a three game triumph over Fair Lawn with a 3011 handicap score, third best to date in the Stan Niemiec Youth Travel League. Montville freshman Erik Kattermann, buoyed by his siblings thunder, blasted 257-613 to go with Sean McGuires 212 and Randy Devitts 182 in Boontons win. First place Holiday burst from the gate with a blistering 814 net to take game one from Montvale and scored well throughout the match, led by former Ramapo H.S. star Kevin Macchios 236-234-651, Ana DeLeon 197-192, Lilly Sigona 191-193 and Frank Magyar 190. Undaunted, Montvale charged back with a pinfall battering of their own, riddling the maples with handicap games of 10221097 to come away with five points. After barely missing the 4-7 to start game two, Montvales anchor Matt Russell strung together ten strikes, closing with a nine-count for 278, tying the afternoons best single. Sandwiching the whopper with 192-190, Matt finished with 660, the sessions third best threesome. Park Ridge senior Kyle Ladewig enjoyed one of his finest outings, spilling the pins with 215: 566. Dan Sproviero closed with 178 and elevenyear-old Michaella Raab posted a remarkable 81 pins over average 193, beating her anchor by three pins, you can be sure he caught an earful about that from Michaella. In other play, Passaic Tech sophomore Anthony Rizzo smashed a 227-225-645, JonMikal Sepero 221, Welmer Paguay 204-197 and Kristen Kane 192 as Bowler City I grabbed a closely contested match from Bowler City III, 2931-2877. The latter captured the high-scoring opener 1055-1007, largely due to Nick Reyes 278, but dropped games two and three despite fine scores from Greg Khan posting 204-226, Alijah Jackson 200-211 and Tiffany Sucero 174. They say turnabout is fair, and Bowler City II took it to heart, reversing last weeks sweep and beating Lodi 28402653. Lodi, short one bowler, remained competitive, dropping the finale by a scant two pins. Their highs were: Nick Ferrante 201, Chris Navarro 181 and Mariah McKelvey 155. Pacing BC II were Joseph Biondi 226, Ryan Sweeney 214, Kelley Grippo 191 and George Held 190.
