We want to thank the 28 AWBA members who particpated in the 51st Florida State Tournament, and we missed Don Porpora who was hospitalized just prior to the Event.
Things kicked off friday as Harold Bowman and Paul Cook took the doubles title beating out Andy Bernt and Mike Destasio. The singles qualifying was done by 4/3 game blocks contested on Saturday and Sunday on some difficult scoring lanes. Wayne Webber seemed to enjoy them more than most as he fought his way into the scratch roll offs. Holding off Roger Templar by just 2 pins. The high qualifiers by division were Al Uttecht/scr, Mike destasio/A and Keith Green/B. The roll off results are attached to this report.
We want to thank the members of the AWBA auxiliary for raising over $400 the tournament. We also want to acknowledge the staff of University Lanes for the great treatment and courteous service while we were competing. Special thanks must be paid to the National PVA, Florida Wheelchair Bowling Assoc., FGCPVA and the fall classic fund for their financial support which benefited all attending.
We want to thank Mary Ann Templar and Nancy Roberts for doing a great job tabulating the scores for all the events. We really appreiciate the support they provide. Last but not least, thanks to Bob Robortella and Lee Regan for their assistance to the bowlers as well. Ed Linde committed to be the TMNT director for our next state tournament tentatively scheduled for the last weekend in April 2014 to be held at AMF Lanes Brandon, FL We hope to have an even bigger turnout there.
Respectfully, Wayne Webber
