Catching up

Catching up on results from the end of last week. Don't have the final Baker-playoff results (or individual scores) from the TRN tournament, just the initial 3-game totals.

Woodbridge boys.  Terrifying.  Six bowlers, six 600 series, James Stoveken 726.  Total? 3357, high in the state this year. South Brunswick & East Brunswick both shot the moon, with South (Chan Woo Ang 705) coming up just short of East 3-1 / 3227-3151.  Sam Bortnick put up a massive 300-793 for the winners.

Brick Memorial is consistent(ly great).  3231 in a win on Friday followed by 3233 in the TRN tournament Saturday.  Andrew Lazarchick cracked 7 again, with a 709 on Friday. Brick Township posted a solid 3168 on Friday as well.  How deep is Shore South A?  Central is 0-5 / 3-12, but capable of shooting 3014 (losing to Toms River East, who put up 3154.)

Manasquan came in 2nd in the TRN prelims, posting 3217, and hammered PPB with a 3134 on Thursday.  That Thursday score was not posted for a couple of days, so I missed it on Friday and I missed getting to comment on the fact that in the same match Sarah Smith shot 300 for the 'Squan girls, Kyle Bauter did the same for the boys, finished at 300-689.  That's pretty cool.

Other 700s include:

Joshua Lipko, Cherry Hill West 716
Doug Pombo, Toms River East 732
Zak DuHaime, Wallkill Valley 717
Tom Smith, Pascack Valley 725

The Brick Township girls won the latest round of can-you-top-this in the battle for the top NJ score, non-Brick Memorial division.  With a 2956, the Dragons not only took back #2 in high series, they bested Memorial on the lanes (though Memorial came back to win in the Baker playoff). Manchester wasn't too far behind, carding 2778.

Memorial also defeated TRS 3-0 / 2998-2635 on Friday to move to 18-0 on the season in a division with 3 other top 10 teams.  That's amazing, really.  Victoria Bird (655) and Sarah Pitcher (638) led the way.

Two other 600s in Shore-South-A, Laura Oliver of Central with a 648 & Kamerin Peters of TRN with a 650.  Jamie Golden shot 622 for the Sparta boys' team.
