TEAM SELECTED FOR 2019 PABCON MEN'S CHAMPIONSHIPS
ARLINGTON, Texas - When the
Team USA men head to Peru for the
2019 Pan American Bowling
Confederation Men's Championships
next month, their mission will be two-
fold.
The first order of business will be to
earn as many medals as possible in six
disciplines - singles, doubles, trios,
team, all-events and Masters competi-
tion.
Their trip to Lima, Peru's capital,
also will give them a chance to collect
intel on the newly opened Bowling
Center at Villa Deportiva Nacional
VIDENA, which will play host to the
bowling portion of the Pan American
Games in late July.
Team USA's roster for the PAB-
CON Men's Championships will
include a mix of youth and experi-
ence. The event is scheduled for April
22-28.
Nine-time Team USA member and
2019 United States Bowling Congress
Team USA Trials winner John
Janawicz of Winter Haven, Florida,
will lead the group south and be joined
by 2017 world champion AJ Johnson
of Oswego, Illinois; Darren Tang of
San Francisco; Nick Pate of Inver
Grove Heights, Minnesota; and a pair
of Team USA rookies, Perry Crowell
IV of Chesterfield, Michigan, and
Sean Wilcox of Altamonte Springs,
Florida.
"It's always great to be back on the
team, and I'm definitely looking for-
ward to another PABCON, which will
be my fourth one," said Janawicz,
who earned 11 medals in trips to the
PABCON Men's Championships in
2007, 2012 and 2015. "I'm also look-
ing forward to helping guide the team
through it, especially the younger
guys who haven't been to a zone
championship before, and I hope we
can bring home some more gold
medals."
Janawicz knows how talented the
players are and how prepared they'll
be for the 41-foot Rome oil pattern
they'll face for the week, so his advice
for the novice travelers is more about
enjoying the experience and the cul-
ture in Peru.
His first international bowling expe-
rience came after countless trips out of
the country for work-related reasons,
so he was familiar with the travel
aspects, and he was fortunate to find
quick success on the lanes, too.
"The bowling is the bowling, and
solving lane conditions is the same if
you're in Peru or the United States or
anywhere else in the world," Janawicz
said. "Yes, we're there to win medals,
and I'm excited about working with
these guys and learning each other's
games a little better, but it's also
important to make the most of the
opportunity, take in the culture, enjoy
the food and make new friends."
At the bowling center, Team USA
head coach Rod Ross and the team
members definitely will be taking
notes about the facility, the lanes and
their tendencies, and any other intrica-
cies that may help Team USA find
success at the summer's Pan American
Games.
The Team USA men and women
are in the midst of a two-part perform-
ance-based process that will deter-
mine the two men and two women
who will represent the team at the Pan
Am Games in July.
Anything they can learn during their
time on the lanes, good or bad, will be
valuable.
"Not only is the upcoming PAB-
CON event a chance for some of the
younger players to gain valuable inter-
national experience, it also can help us
begin preparing for the Pan Am
Games, which is a very prestigious
event that only happens once every
four years," Ross said. "Especially
since the bowling center is brand new,
the more we can learn in April, the
more confident we'll be in July."
The PABCON Men's
Championships will include teams
from North, Central and South
America and the Caribbean and fea-
ture six games in singles, doubles,
trios and team, and the top performers
overall will advance to Masters match
play.
Success at PABCON events in 2018
and 2019 allowed countries to qualify
for the Pan Am Games.
At the Pan Am Games, bowlers will
compete in singles and doubles.
This year's Pan Am Games will
bring together approximately 6,700
athletes and feature 39 sports and 62
disciplines.
The Pan Am Games are the second-
largest multi-sport event, gathering the
41 National Olympic Committees that
make up PanamSports, and they are
held every fourth year. The Games last
were contested in Toronto in July
2015. Bowling made its debut at the
event as a demonstration sport in
1983.

QUEENS
Continued from Page 1
Naccarato, a 10-time champion on the PWBA Tour, had several close
calls at the USBC Queens, including four trips to the stepladder finals
and a runner-up finish at the 1991 event.
Her win at the 2019 Senior Queens gave her the opportunity to real-
ize one of her dreams.
“This means the world to me,” Naccarato said. “I was never able to
win the Queens. I finished second, third, fourth, you name it. To be
able to win it this week with so many great competitors really means
everything.”
Naccarato went undefeated in match play to earn the top seed and
clinched her spot in the stepladder by defeating Booth, 640-599. With
the tournament’s true double-elimination format, Booth would have
needed to defeat Naccarato twice to claim the title.
Booth bested Laura Hardeman of Chula Vista, California, to move
onto the championship round, 201-171. Hardeman was the top qualifi-
er at the 2019 event, averaging more than 206 through the qualifying
rounds.
Hardeman advanced to the semifinals by defeating Johnson, 197-
169. Johnson was looking to join fellow hall of famer and three-time
Senior Queens champion Robin Romeo of Newhall, California, as the
only player to successfully defend a title at the event.
Since 2012, Johnson has advanced to the stepladder finals seven
times at the Senior Queens. In addition to her win in 2018, she had
four consecutive runner-up finishes from 2013-2016 and a fourth-
place finish in 2012.
Hardeman survived a 10th-frame open to win the opening match
against Debbie Ayers of La Mesa, California, 182-174. Ayers needed
to deliver a double in her final frame to advance but left a 6-10 com-
bination on her first attempt.
A four-player shootout round determined the No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5
seeds for the stepladder. Johnson paced the group with a 638 series to
earn the No. 3 seed. Hardeman was next with 596, while Ayers
grabbed the final spot with a 586 total. Linda Walbaum of Brighton,
Colorado, was eliminated in sixth place with a 562 series.
The 2019 Senior Queens welcomed 84 of the top female players age
50 and older to Gold Coast this week. All competitors bowled 15
games of qualifying over two days to determine the 31 players joining
Johnson in match play.
Bracket play consisted of three-game matches leading up to the
stepladder finals, with total pinfall determining who advanced.

NJSIAA Boys Group Tournament of Champions Winners
By Vince Albrecht
NORTH BRUNSWICK, NJ – The North Jersey schools
fared better in this tournament than in recent years as North
Arlington won its first State Group 1 title, closing with 899
to outgun favorite Hudson Catholic by a hundred pins.
Out of the forty sectional winners/runners-up who
advanced to the State Finals, Sussex Tech, the perennial
powerhouse from the NJAC North, rolled 2793, the day’s
seventh best score, but their stranglehold on Group 2 was
snapped by upstart Jackson Liberty, sister school to
Jackson Memorial in the talent-rich Shore Conference.
The Lions won posting 2902, with only Group 4’s South
Brunswick finishing better in its win over arguably North
Jersey’s best squad, Passaic County’s Clifton Mustangs.
Group 3 came down to a nail-biter between defending
Tournament of Champions’ title-holder Woodbridge of the
Greater Middlesex Conference [GMC] and West Milford,
another highly touted Passaic County opponent from the
Big North Conference [BNC]; leading after two games,
the Barrons saw their margin virtually disappear as the
March 27 - April 2, 2019
Highlanders fired a 1000; needing a strong 957 to stay on
top, Woodbridge put it together in the last three frames,
finishing with 1001.
Other than North Arlington’s win and the four second-
place finishes of Hudson Catholic, Sussex Tech, West
Milford and Clifton respectively, the other North Jersey
entries finished as follows: Group 1 – Leonia 8th, Midland
Park 9th; Group 2 – Fort Lee 4th, Mahway 7th; Group 3 –
Indian Hills 3rd, Morris Knolls 4th and Group 4 – Wayne
Hills 6th, Wayne Valley 8th and St Peter’s Prep 9th.
The Tournament of Champions, thanks to the Baker for-
mat leveling the field [best three of five games], was a
tossup at best. Red-hot Jackson Liberty had its work cut
out for them in their semi-final encounter but pulled off the
upset of defending champion Woodbridge in the decisive
game finale to advance, 3-2.
Tournament’s Best Individual Games: Clifton’s Jeremy
Ramirez 279, Egg Harbor Twp’s Peter Tran 259, South
Brunswick’s Matt Marich and St Peter’s Prep Jack
Rudolph 257.

Conference, six from the Big North Conference [NBC], three each from
the Burlington County Scholastic League [BCSL] and the Greater
Middlesex Conference [GMC] plus independent Warren County Tech.
Despite all the talent present, the only school to break “2700” was
Group 4’s Toms River North [2858] and the Mariners went on to defend
their Tournament of Champions crown. Group 4 averaged 158.07/play-
er, Group 3 -154.24, Group 2 - 151.56 and Group 1 - 137.02. Several of
the teams at one time or another during the season broke the “3000”
mark, among them North Jersey entrants’ Warren Hills and Teaneck.
Warren Hills, whose two-year Group 3 title was snapped this go-around,
did manage second best threesome of the tournament [2508], an average
of 167.2/bowler.
Bottom line is that the majority of the participants had difficulty fig-
uring out the oil pattern.
Returnees from 2018 were: Matawan, last year’s Group 1 champ,
although moved up to Group 2 now; Carteret, Maple Shade, Dumont,
Colts Neck, Manchester Twp and AHA [Holy Angels]; among the larg-
er schools: Warren Hills, Toms River South, Freehold Twp and Teaneck
[placed in Group 2 this year], Toms River North, Brick Memorial [went
from Group 4 to Group 3], Bergen Tech and Ridgewood.
Predictably, powerhouse Toms River North, led by junior Kamerin
Peters 717 [245-237-235] and younger sister Paige with 236: 633, ran
away with Group 4. In a mild upset, Freehold Twp beat out two-time
winner Warren Hills in Group 3; the Shore Conference Cougars from
Colts Neck won their first state title, upsetting favorite Teaneck in Group
2; The Lady Lancers from St John Vianney also earned their first title,
holding off Warren Tech in Group 1, but then fell to top-seeded Toms
River North in the Baker Tournament of Champions, 3.5 - .5; second
seed Freehold Twp had their hands full with third seed Colts Neck, but
the Patriots, after falling behind two games to one, came back to win
games four and five and beat the Cougars, 3-2.
In the championship game, Toms River North’s Mariners swept three
games from Freehold Twp to successfully defend its T of C title. The
day’s high game award went to Warren Hills’ Sam Irwin who posted a
246.
North Jersey Schools Finish: Group 1 – Warren Tech 2nd, Dumont 4th;
Group 2 – Teaneck 3rd, AHA [Holy Angels] 5th; Group 3 – Warren Hills
2nd, Wayne Hills 6th; Group 4 – Bergen Tech 5th, Ridgewood 6th.
