Mabel Cummins selected as 2019 Alberta E. Crowe Star of Tomorrow

ARLINGTON, Texas – Mabel
Cummins of Elburn, Illinois, a
senior at Kaneland High School,
has been selected as the 2019
Alberta E. Crowe Star of
Tomorrow by the International
Bowling Campus Youth
Committee.
The prestigious award recog-
nizes the star qualities of a female
high school senior or college stu-
dent, including accomplishments
on the lanes, academic achieve-
ment and community service. The
award winner receives a $6,000
scholarship.
Past recipients include, among
others, USBC Hall of Fame mem-
bers Betty Kuczynski, the award’s
first winner in 1961, Joy Abel,
Judy Soutar, Mildred Ignizio,
Donna Adamek, Tish Johnson and
Lynda (Norry) Barnes.
“It's an incredible honor,”
Cummins said. “I am genuinely
humbled to be associated with the
remarkable women who have
received this award in the past.
Some truly outstanding individu-
als have previously been selected
for this title including Josie
Barnes, Diandra Asbaty and Missy
Parkin, just to name a few, and I
am proud to say they were my
heroes as a child and my role mod-
els as a young adult. They are
incredibly talented athletes and
respected leaders and they have
impacted the sport in such a posi-
tive and profound way that I feel
totally overwhelmed at the
thought of living up to their
accomplishments.”
Cummins recently competed for
Junior Team USA at the inaugural
World Bowling Junior
Championships in France. She
teamed with Kamerin Peters to
take the gold medal in doubles and
won three matches in the Masters
competition of the event to earn
bronze.

BUTTURFF
Continued from Page 1
Holliman was unable to strike again until his fill
ball, allowing Butturff to coast in the final frame,
needing just four pins for the victory. He struck on his
first shot of the 10th to secure the win.
Butturff admitted the left lane had gotten tougher
for him through practice prior to the title match, but
he was able to rely on what he had learned through-
out the week at Gold Coast to quickly make the
adjustment.
“During practice, the left lane ended up getting
pretty tricky,” Butturff said. “I felt more comfortable
on the right lane, and the first shot I threw on the left
lane hooked almost immediately. My move this week
when I got it a little slow and saw that much hook
was to move right, and I was able to make the shots I
needed to towards the end of the match.”
Holliman, 26, made his USBC Masters debut at
Gold Coast and advanced to his first championship
round after nearly making the finals at the PBA
Cheetah Championship in March.
The left lane ended up transitioning quite a bit for
Holliman against Butturff, but he’s happy with his
performance in his television debut.
“I was nervous and the adrenaline kicked in a lot,”
Holliman said. “No matter how much you prepare,
it’s different when the lights come on. The first few
shots on the left lane hooked, so I moved three boards
with my feet, one with my eyes and lofted it farther
down the lane to trip the 6 pin in the sixth frame. I
moved another board off that in the eighth and left
that brutal 9 pin, which kind of sealed it from my
point. It was the best shot I threw, but I have nothing
to be disappointed about. This was my second major
and first TV show, and I finished second. I have noth-
ing to be ashamed of.”
Holliman made his way to the title match by defeat-
ing Jake Peters of Henderson, Nevada, 217-199.
Peters started with strikes in four of his first five
frames but gave Holliman the chance to take the lead
after missing the 3-6-9-10 combination in the sixth
frame. Holliman took advantage, rolling three con-
secutive strikes, to outdistance Peters.
Peters advanced to the semifinals by defeating
Ireland’s Christopher Sloan, 254-226. Needing a
strike to have the opportunity to shut out Sloan,
Peters first shot of the 10th frame rolled high into the
pocket but was able to trip out the 4-9 split at the last
moment.
The opening match came down to a roll-off as
Sloan and Canada’s Mitch Hupé tied at 214. Hupé
had the opportunity to win the match by knocking
down at least nine pins on his first delivery in the
10th frame but left the 3-6 combination. After con-
verting the spare, he struck to force the tie.
Hupé, the No. 4 seed, elected to start the roll-off
and left a 4 pin. Sloan struck to advance, 10-9.
The 2019 Masters welcomed 450 competitors to
Gold Coast this week. All bowlers participated in 15
qualifying games over three days to determine the 63
competitors joining defending champion Andrew
Anderson of Holly, Michigan, in the tournament’s
double-elimination bracket.
Anderson finished tied for 17th place in his title
defense.
