2017 World Championships
By Matt Cannizzaro - USBC
ARLINGTON, Texas - When the Team USA women
put their team title on the line at the 2017 World
Bowling World Championships, they'll do so on their
home soil and with five of the six gold medalists
returning.
The event is scheduled for Nov. 24-Dec. 4 at the
South Point Bowling Plaza in Las Vegas.
The United States will be represented by defending
world champions Stefanie Johnson, of McKinney,
Texas, Kelly Kulick of Union, New Jersey, Danielle
McEwan of Stony Point, New York, Shannon
O'Keefe of O'Fallon, Illinois, and Shannon
Pluhowsky of Dayton, Ohio, and the quintet will be
joined by World Championships first-timer Josie
Barnes of Nashville, Tennessee.
Team USA won the world title at the 2015 World
Bowling Women's Championships held in Abu
Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Now, all six team members are coming off a suc-
cessful 2017 campaign on the Professional Women's
Bowling Association Tour, where four earned titles
during the 14-event season.
"Being able to represent our country is something
we always dream of and look forward to, and to be
able to do it on our own turf and as defending cham-
pions makes it even more special," said Pluhowsky, a
17-time Team USA member who will make her sixth
appearance at the adult World Championships.
"Things didn't exactly go as planned last time we
were in this position (2013), so everyone is extra
motivated. I know we're all planning to work very
advance to the semifinals, with the winners moving
on to gold medal match.
Though Barnes will make her first appearance at
the World Championships, she is very familiar with
international competition.
The 29-year-old right-hander is a five-time member
of Team USA, which came after five appearances on
Junior Team USA, and she has earned more than a
dozen medals while representing the United States.
"I've been around the Team USA program for a long
time, and this is something you always hope for but
never expect, and I'm very grateful and excited," said
Barnes, also a Professional Women's Bowling
Association Tour titlist. "I've always had a lot of
goals and things I wanted to achieve, and this defi-
nitely is one of them. I don't really get nervous about
a lot of things, but this feels different. I'm a little
nervous about the overall experience, but not neces-
sarily about the bowling part."
Barnes is a frequent world traveler, but having the
World Championships back in her home country adds
an extra level of comfort for her debut at the event.
"For this being my first time, it might be a good
thing that it's close to home and somewhere familiar
and relatively comfortable," Barnes said. "Of course,
I love to travel, but how cool would it be to win a
gold medal in our own country?"
The selection of the Team USA representatives
came after a recent training camp at the International
Training and Research Center in Arlington. The camp
allowed the Team USA women to shift gears from the
individual environment they experienced on the

hard over the next two months to be as prepared as

By Vince Albrecht
LODI, NJ Defending champion Holiday regained first place in the
Stan Niemiec Youth Travel League by sweeping past Hi-Tor II, 2791-
2618. In rolling 2749 [206+/player], the sessions best scratch set, the
victorious quartet rattled Lodis maples with seemingly reckless aban-
don, led by red-hot 16-year-old Tom Chamberlain [218 average] 227-
213-236: 676 and 17-year-old David Neil [225 average] 236-198-215:
649; 16-year-old newcomer Jack Miller showed off his two-hand deliv-
ery with 217-181-211: 609 and southpaw Jared Duncan contributed
three steady games, closing with 189: 545. Shorthanded Hi-Tor IIs
distaffers fell six pins shy of pulling out game two with creditable out-
ings from Isabella Palamaro 202-196, Mercedes Morel 193-191 and
Akira DeLoatch 190.
Bowler City II took five of seven points from a strong Hi-Tor I quartet,
2911-2834, dropping the finale by two sticks after barely holding off the
New Yorkers by ten pins in game two. The high-scoring match produced
five 600+ sets, led by 15-year-old North Rockland sophomore
Nicholas Varano 199-244-224: 667, Hi-Tor Is talented anchor; also
striking high marks for the latter were Tappan Zee juniors Mark Shapiro

other teammates Michael Bellifemini and Mia Aish chipped in with
213: 550 and 184-177 respectively.
Lodis other quartet from their eight-player roster meshed well in a deci-

Nick Greco, Lodis capable anchor, shelled the pin decks with 190-236-
215: 641 and teammate Hassan Izzard set the table with a sterling 232-
184-205: 621; Krista Eskow closed with 180 and Tyler Nappi added
178-179. BC Is Victoria Vucak had trouble figuring lane conditions
early on, but caught fire late in game one and finished with 229-213:
607; High Tech freshman John Behr put together a flurry of strikes in his
opening game to finish with 254, the afternoons top single; Arielle
Wallace finished with a commendable 201 and River Dell freshman Jake

T-Bowl exploded with a 972 finish to earn two points against third place
Montvale behind Tommy Luchetta 214, Chris Rysz 213 and Moustafa

Six Team USA Men Selected for
2017 World Championships
By Matt Cannizzaro - USBC
ARLINGTON, Texas - Chris Barnes recently was elected to the Professional Bowlers Association Hall of
Fame, but he'll soon turn his attention to a couple of opportunities that got away.
Barnes, a 47-year-old right-hander from Double Oak, Texas, will lead a group of six Team USA men into the
2017 World Bowling World Championships, set for Nov. 24-Dec. 4 at the South Point Bowling Plaza in Las
Vegas.
Joining Barnes is Tommy Jones of Simpsonville, South Carolina, Marshall Kent of Yakima, Washington,
and a trio of World Championships first-timers - left-hander Jakob Butturff of Tempe, Arizona, AJ Johnson of
Oswego, Illinois, and two-hander Chris Via of Springfield, Ohio.
The Team USA men will be focused on redemption after falling short in the coveted five-player team event
in 2013 and 2014. Barnes hopes a combination of experience, versatility and depth will help them back to the
top of the medal stand.
"I think what happened the last two times will keep us more focused and motivated for better results this
year," said Barnes, a 15-time Team USA member. "We won three in a row then came up short, so we've
worked even harder to be ready. Working together and communicating will help a lot during qualifying, and
I think our depth will play into our favor with the Baker format, if we can advance to the semifinals."
The Team USA men claimed the team gold medal in 2006, ending a 35-year drought, and they repeated in
2008 and 2010 with help from Barnes and Jones, once professionals were allowed to compete.
There also will be medals up for grabs in singles, doubles, trios, all-events and Masters, with each event giv-
ing competitors a chance to gather more information and get more comfortable on the oil pattern.
Qualifying in singles, doubles, trios and team traditionally consists of six games. The top four then advance
to the semifinals, with the winners moving on to gold-medal match.
At the 2014 World Bowling Men's Championships in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, the Team USA men
failed to earn any gold medals, fueling the desire for redemption on their home turf this time. They took home
four silver medals (trios, team, all-events, Masters) and a bronze medal (singles) in 2014.
Barnes, who finally feels fully recovered from a 2015 back surgery, doesn't know how many more chances
he'll have to represent the United States on the world stage, if any, so he wants to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity.
The makeup of this year's team is much different than when he made his own World Championships debut
in 1995. Now, he is the veteran of a group that ranges in age from 47 to 23.
"The biggest difference is that the first time I went to the World Championships, we had a talented, but
young, group that was inexperienced and had limited veteran leadership," Barnes said. "Now, we have a
diverse and versatile group with great chemistry, a high bowling IQ and more defined roles within the group."
More than two decades after his debut, Barnes says his preparation for the event now is much more in-depth.
Having competed at multiple World Championships, he hopes to pass on advice about what to expect and how
to go about it.
Along with being the veterans of the group, the roles are further-defined for Barnes and Jones. Barnes has
more of an eye for the technical aspects of things, while he considers Jones the glue of the group, keeping the
team loose and energized.
The Team USA men recently spent a week together at the International Training and Research Center, where
they worked together on and off the lanes to get ready for the World Championships.
They focused on team building and the mental part of the sport, and their World Championships-specific
preparation included getting comfortable with the event's format, pace of play, potential oil pattern and how
it might break down based on what kind of equipment is used and how they can gather information as the tour-
nament progresses, so they can get stronger each day.
The 2017 World Championships will be a combined men's and women's event, which happens every four
years.
The 2013 World Championships at Sunset Station in Henderson, Nevada, also was a combined event. Korea
won the team gold medal on the women's side, and Finland downed Team USA for the men's title.
This year's event will feature one of the oil patterns from the bank of World Bowling lane conditions. The
actual pattern will be announced on-site in Las Vegas.
The Team USA coaches for the 2017 World Championships will be head coach Rod Ross, Junior Team USA
head coach Bryan O'Keefe and assistant coach Mark Baker.
"We were able to put together an extremely talented and diverse group this year, and their strengths defi-
nitely will complement each other on the lanes," Ross said. "During training camp, we worked on the physi-
cal, mental and strategic aspects of the game and event, and we feel very prepared. We're also looking forward
to competing in front of our hometown fans, so to speak."

Boston Red Sox Star Mookie Betts to Return to PBAs World Series of Bowling
Rising star in baseball world hopes to do a little better in second WSOB appearance
By Bill Vint - PBA
RENO, Nev. Boston Red Sox star Mookie Betts began
thinking about competing in the World Series very early in
the year, but as much as he wanted to return to bowlings
version of the classic event in Reno, he would have pre-
ferred playing in the Major League Baseball fall classic.
When the Houston Astros ended Bostons bid for
another World Series title, winning their American
League Division Series, 3-1, the 25-year-old Betts was
free to begin full-scale preparations for his alternative
plan, competing in the GEICO PBA World Series of
Bowling IX, presented by Eldorado Reno Properties,
Nov. 7-19 at Renos National Bowling Stadium. WSOB
IX kicks off the 2017-18 Go Bowling! PBA Tour.
I hope I can do a little better than I did last time, Betts
said Tuesday. I think I understand the mental side of
what I need to do a little more, but its not like I have it
down pat. But I can use my experience from last time.
Well see.
Betts, who made his debut in Professional Bowlers
Association competition during the 2015 WSOB VII in
Reno, has been eagerly awaiting the chance to try it again.
Bowling has been a part of my life forever, so it isnt
going away, he said. I like to compete, but I also know
I need to get better.
Since the baseball season ended, Betts said hes been PBA photo
practicing regularly, in part to get his right hand tough- Mokie Betts
ened up a bit for the daily grind of two five-game qualifying blocks. His goal is to finish among
the top 150 against the field of 195 on any given day. In his WSOB debut in 2015, Betts averaged
190 for his 36 qualifying games nine each on four different animal patterns.
His life as a professional athlete has evolved during the past two years. In 2016, when he played
a starring role in helping the Red Sox to the American League playoffs, Betts hit for a .318 aver- elimination match play
age with 31 home runs and 113 RBIs., winding up runner-up in the American League MPV vot-
ing. He was named MLBs Defensive Player of the Year, won Silver Slugger and Gold Glove hon-
ors, and earned the first of two straight berths in the MLB All-Star Game.
His star continued to rise 2017, when he again played a pivotal role in helping the Red Sox win match play
the American League East Division title and earned another trip to the All-Star game.
As brilliantly as he has played in the Major League Baseball arena, Betts remains grounded to play
his bowling roots, started by his mother (Diana Benedict) in his Nashville, Tenn., hometown. And
he has proven to be a sponge in soaking up knowledge in whatever sport he plays.
Is there any relationship between bowling and baseball?
I think the short bursts of focus are a key, Betts said. Ive played baseball in front of thou-
sands of people, so Ive learned to get over those little moments pretty quickly. Its the same in
bowling. If things arent going well, you get your focus back and get back on track.
Betts will join a sold-out field of world-class bowlers from 27 different countries for five-game
qualifying rounds at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. (Pacific time) in the PBA Chameleon Championship pre- elimination match play
sented by Reno Tahoe on Wednesday, Nov. 8; the PBA Shark Championship presented by Xtra ination match play
Frame on Thursday, Nov. 9; the PBA Cheetah Championship presented by PBA Bowling
Challenge Mobile Game on Saturday, Nov. 11 and the Pepsi PBA Scorpion Championship pre-
sented by GoBowling.com on Sunday, Nov. 12.
If Betts finishes among the top 25 percent of the field after 40 combined games on the four ani-
mal patterns, hell advance to PBA World Championship cashers round on Nov. 13 and 14. If he
finishes among the top 16 in any of the four individual animal pattern events, hell advance to sin-
gle-elimination match competition on Nov. 15 and 16.
All of the preliminary rounds will be live streamed on PBAs Xtra Frame online bowling chan-
nel. For subscription information, visit xtraframe.tv.
WSOB IX concludes Nov. 17-19 with finals live streamed on ESPN3 (and also recorded for
