Swanson, who first earned recognition as a sophomore, leads a group of 10 high school bowlers selected to the team for the 2012-2013 school year. Five of this year’s recipients have finished or are finishing their senior years, while five members are juniors.

“These student-athletes are being recognized not only for their accomplishments as bowlers, but also for their roles as leaders in the classroom and community,” said Bud Clapsaddle, vice president of Dexter Bowling. “We had a very strong applicant field again this season and Dexter Bowling is proud to honor these 10 youth bowlers.”

The student-athletes selected to the Dexter/USBC High School All-American Team were nominated by their coach or athletic director. The student-athletes had a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade-point average (based on a 4.0 scale), and had to provide a letter of recommendation and a 500-word essay. Each student-athlete will receive a $1,000 scholarship for being named to the team.

The 2012-2013 school year marks the eighth consecutive year Dexter and USBC have selected five boys and five girls to their All-American team.

“Selection to the Dexter/USBC All-American Team is one of the most prestigious honors a high school bowler can receive,” International Bowling Campus Managing Director of Youth Development Chad Murphy said. “We value the tremendous support of high school bowling Dexter Bowling has provided for so many years.”

The five female athletes selected to this year’s team:

Shelly Goodwin (Palm City, Fla.) - A standout at Martin County High School, she led her team to a state title in 2011 while setting the Florida state record for highest qualifying score.

Weber, who entered the opening round of Milwaukee Open match play in fifth place, steadily moved up to finish the day with a 43-game total of 9,792 pins, including 210 match play bonus pins. His only loss came in his final match against fellow 37-time PBA Tour titlist Norm Duke of Clermont, Fla., 213-201. Barnes, a 14-time PBA Tour winner, held the lead early in the round and finished with 9,769 pins.

Canada’s Dan MacLelland, who is trying for his first PBA Tour title and the first ever by a Canadian, was in third place with 9,615 pins followed by Duke with a 9,603 total and three-time Tour winner Eugene McCune of Munster, Ind., with 9,588 pins.

The first round of Milwaukee Open match play was contested on the challenging 40-foot Bear lane conditioning pattern, a scoring environment similar to the U.S Open lane condition which is considered the most difficult in bowling. Weber has won the U.S. Open a record five times, so he embraced the challenge.

“I don’t mind this pattern at all,” he grinned.

“The lanes were a little different today than they were yesterday (for the Bear Open),” he added. “I started the day with a 160 game, so I changed to a ball I figured wouldn’t work, and I shot 240, 230, 230, 230 in the last four games of qualifying.

“Tonight I tried another ball I didn’t think would work, used it for three games on the left lane along with a different ball on the right lane, and I felt good about it.

“I got to move inside to the fourth and fifth arrow, and I like playing in there. My arm swing was loose and when your arm swing is loose, good things happen.”

Wednesday, the Milwaukee Open match play finals conclude with an eight-game round on the 32-foot Wolf Open pattern at 11 a.m. and eight games on the 52-foot Badger lane condition at 5:30 p.m. The top five players after 59 games will advance to the Milwaukee Open stepladder finals Sunday at noon.

The Milwaukee Open is the fourth and final event in the GEICO PBA Summer Swing presented by Lucas Oil. Finalists in the Milwaukee Open qualified during the Badger, Wolf and Bear Open tournament, conducted on three different lane conditions over the past eight days at AMF Waukesha, AMF West and AMF Bowlero, respectively.

The Milwaukee Open match play rounds are being covered live, exclusively on PBA’s online bowling channel, Xtra Frame.

The stepladder finals for the Badger, Wolf, Bear and Milwaukee Opens will be contested Saturday at 11 a.m., 2:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. respectively. The GEICO Summer King of the Swing special event will follow the Milwaukee Open finals Sunday at 3:30 p.m. The Summer Swing finals will air on five consecutive Tuesdays at 7 p.m. ET beginning June 11.

The 28 players who competed in today’s Milwaukee Open cashers round were the top scorers from the combined qualifying rounds of the GEICO Summer Swing Badger, Wolf and Bear Opens. Mika Koivuniemi, Osku Palermaa, Sean Rash and Andrew Graff failed to advance to match play.

O’Neill had games of 224, 181, 167, 220 and 231 in today’s round to bring his 35-game pinfall total to 7,896 (225.6 average). He maintains a 19-pin lead over Mike Fagan in second with 7,877.

“I’ve been able to play wherever I’ve wanted to play throughout the whole tournament,” O’Neill said of competing in three different tournaments on three different lane conditions. “In this situation where you’re bowling multiple events on multiple conditions, it’s a matter of finding the part of the lane where you feel the most comfortable.

“In the middle of this round I wasn’t able to find that comfortable place but I was fortunate to get in a better position toward the end of the round.”

O’Neill, the 2010 U.S. Open champion, has already qualified for one Summer Swing TV final as the No. 5 qualifier for the Lucas Oil PBA Wolf Open.

Rounding out the top five heading into tonight’s first match play round are Chris Barnes (7,862), Chris Loschetter (7,824 and Pete Weber (7,804).

After this evening’s match play round, match play continues Thursday at 11 a.m. (Wolf pattern) and Thursday at 5:30 p.m. (Badger pattern). The top five after 59 games will advance to the Milwaukee Open finals at 11 a.m. Sunday at Bowlero.

The Milwaukee Open cashers round and match play rounds are being covered live, exclusively on PBA’s online bowling channel, Xtra Frame.

The stepladder finals for the Badger, Wolf, Bear and Milwaukee Opens will be contested Saturday at 11 a.m., 2:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. respectively.

This time, the 30-year-old left-hander moved into the top spot in Scratch All-Events with a 2,150 total at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center on Tuesday night. Elysia Current of Ephrata, Pa., previously held the lead with 2,104.

Some creative scheduling, that also will give Pluhowsky the chance to compete at the nearby USBC Open Championships while in Reno this week, allowed her to bowl all nine games at the USBC Women’s Championships in one day. She shot 751 in team, 729 in singles and 670 in doubles.

“We came in not really seeing a whole lot before we bowled,” said Pluhowsky, who made her 10th Women’s Championships appearance and is third in Scratch Singles and fourth in Diamond All-Events. “Our lane draw worked out, though, and we were on a fresh pair the first time, too. Being left-handed, I was the only one on the pair, so they stayed pretty even. And bowling the six games for doubles and singles on one pair also helped because I knew the transition.”

The 13-time Team USA member used what she saw earlier in the day to set up her game plan for her final event. A small move left on the approach and a different ball in her hand had her on the verge of the first 800 series on the Women’s Championships lanes since 2011.

“I just took what I learned from doubles and tried a different strategy tonight,” said Pluhowsky, who started her team event Tuesday night with games of 257 and 278 before finishing with 216. “I played a little further left with a ball I had switched to in the middle of doubles, and that seemed to work pretty well. I was able to throw that all three games. In the last game, I just made a couple bad shots.”

The Diamond Division at the Women’s Championships includes bowlers with averages of 180 and above, and handicap is 100 percent of 220. Pluhowsky did not receive any handicap at this this year’s event. Christine Gill of Lakewood, Colo., leads Diamond All-Events with 2,324.

Pluhowsky’s past success on the lanes at the Women’s Championships includes a Scratch Singles title in 2011, a Classic Team win in 2007 and a victory at the USBC Queens in 2006. She finished second to fellow left-hander USBC Hall of Famer Dede Davidson of Buellton, Calif., in Scratch All-Events in 2011.

Her growing list of accomplishments also includes more than 20 medals in international competition, four USBC Team USA Trials titles, three Professional Bowlers Association Women’s Series victories, three consecutive USBC North Pointe Junior Gold Championships wins, QubicaAMF World Cup titles in 2002 and 2004, two NCAA team national championships and a USBC Intercollegiate Team Championships win with Nebraska.

She’ll now turn her attention to the Open Championships, which is being contested at the nearby National Bowling Stadium. It is the first time both national tournaments are being held in the same host city in the same year, and many women are taking advantage of the opportunity to compete in both events.

Pluhowsky’s goals for the Open Championships are similar and simple.

“My goals are to stay clean, make good shots and know what the lanes are doing,” said Pluhowsky, who was inducted into the World Bowling Writers Hall of Fame in 2012. “I’ve had some success at the Stadium. I like the Stadium. To do well, you have to stay focused, get lined up as fast as you can and repeat shots.”

Presenting sponsors for the 2013 USBC Women’s Championships include Circus Circus Reno, Eldorado Hotel Casino Reno and Silver Legacy Resort Casino Reno.

Belmonte, who is trying for his seventh PBA Tour title, averaged a modest 215.65 for a 26-game total of 5,952 pins, including match play bonus, to complete a move that began when he dropped to 24th place after the first two games of match play Tuesday. Chris Barnes of Double Oak, Texas, finished second with 5,891 pins followed by Chris Loschetter of Avon, Ohio, with a 5,855 total; Canada’s Dan MacLelland with 5,819 pins and Tom Hess of Urbandale, Iowa, with a 5,811 total.

“I bowled really, really well tonight,” the Aussie two-handed star said. “After sitting in 24th place two games into match play, I was just hoping to maybe break into the top 10. Then I got closer, and I drilled a new ball that gave me a lot better look down the lane. It carried so much better, and that was the difference.”

Belmonte finished seventh in the Badger Open last week at AMF Waukesha, the first of the fourth GEICO PBA Summer Swing tournaments, but then finished 69th in the Wolf Open at AMF West – a performance that knocked him out of the Milwaukee Open field.

“My goal when I came over here was to do well on all of the patterns,” Belmonte said. “I just missed on the first one (Badger). The second one (Wolf) was – what’s a good word – disaster? But I never give up, even in the Wolf.

“It was just like today,” he continued. “I needed to dig a little deeper and I’m a whole lot happier now than I was last week. Hopefully I can cap it off with one more good game on TV and add another “W”.

Barnes will be trying for his 15th title in the Bear Open finals. Loschetter, who led the tournament heading into the final eight games, is trying for his first title after nine years on Tour. He also is top qualifier for the Wolf Open finals. MacLelland, also a non-titlist, hopes to become the first Canadian ever to win a PBA Tour title. Hess, who won his only title in the 2011 United States Bowling Congress Masters, made a huge move when he bowled the tournament’s only 300 game in the sixth game of the final round, and then jumped from eighth to fifth with a 268-210 victory over collegiate star Aaron Lorincz of Belleville, Mich., in the final position round match.

The Bear Open was conducted on a flat 40-foot oiling pattern – similar to the demanding scoring environment used for the U.S. Open. It is the third of four events that compose the GEICO PBA Summer Swing presented by Lucas Oil. The Bear Open stepladder finals will be conducted at 6 p.m. Saturday at AMF Bowlero and will air on CBS Sports Network on June 25 at 7 p.m. ET.

The PBA Summer Swing continues Wednesday when the top 28 qualifiers from the Badger, Wolf and Bear “animal pattern” events compete in the five-game Lucas Oil PBA Milwaukee Open cashers round on the Bear pattern at 11 a.m. at Bowlero. Based on 35-game pinfall totals, the top 24 will advance to three eight-game match play rounds Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. (Bear pattern), Thursday at 11 a.m. (Wolf pattern) and Thursday at 5:30 p.m. (Badger pattern). The top five after 59 games will advance to the Milwaukee Open finals at 11 a.m. Sunday at Bowlero. There will be no competition on Friday.

The Milwaukee Open cashers round and match play rounds Wednesday and Thursday will be covered live, exclusively on PBA’s online bowling channel, Xtra Frame.

The stepladder finals for the Badger, Wolf, Bear and Milwaukee Opens will be contested Saturday at 11 a.m., 2:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. respectively. The GEICO Summer King of the Swing special event will follow the Milwaukee Open finals Sunday at 2:30 p.m. The Summer Swing finals will air on five consecutive Tuesdays at 7 p.m. ET beginning June 11.

Wodka, 42, is trying for his first title since he won the 1999 Greater Detroit Open for his only PBA Tour win. He finished qualifying in front of a packed house at AMF Bowlero with a 10-game total of 2,235 pins on a demanding lane condition, rolling games of 229, 210, 216, 206 and 246 Monday night to take a 27–pin lead over Chris Barnes of Double Oak, Texas.

Qualifying third was PBA Hall of Famer Pete Weber of St. Ann, Mo., with 2,000 pins followed by 2013 Intercollegiate Singles Champion Aaron Lorincz of Belleville, Mich., with a 2,195 total and Mike Fagan of Dallas with 2,184 pins. 

“I really had only one bad game,” Wodka said. “I finished the first round with a 176. After that, I came in with a game plan of doing nothing other than making one good shot at a time. I know you’re always supposed to do that, but I really focused on that, and I only had two opens in the second block. Both of those were in the same game, but I still bailed out a 205 and that’s just as important when scores are like they were as anything.”

Wodka would love to end his 14-year winless drought, but isn’t getting ahead of himself.

“It’s been a lot of years (since I won), but there are a lot of games left,” he said. “It’s going to be a long day (Tuesday) and winning matches is going to be of utmost importance. Getting those 30 bonus pins for winning matches when the scores are as low as they are will be huge.”

The Bear Open is being contested on a flat 40-foot oiling pattern which is similar to the U.S. Open lane condition, considered the most challenging scoring environment on the PBA Tour schedule. The Bear Open is the third of four events that compose the GEICO PBA Summer Swing presented by Lucas Oil, and it was the final qualifying event for the Milwaukee Open which begins Wednesday at AMF Bowlero.

The top 28 qualifiers based on total pinfall after 30 qualifying games from the Badger, Wolf and Bear “animal pattern” events advance to the five-game Milwaukee Open cashers which will be contested on the Bear pattern at 11 a.m. Wednesday. Based on 35 games, the top 24 will then advance to three eight-game match play rounds at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday (Bear pattern), and 11 a.m. (Wolf pattern) and 5:30 p.m. (Badger pattern) on Thursday. There will be no competition on Friday.

Leading the Milwaukee Open qualifiers was Bill O’Neill of Langhorne, Pa., who averaged 229.1 for a 30-game total of 6,873 pins. Surviving the cut in 28th place was reigning PBA Player of the Year Sean Rash of Montgomery, Ill., who qualified 27th. The 28th and final berth in the Milwaukee Open went to Andrew Graff of Las Vegas by seven pins over Brett Cunningham of Clay, N.Y.

Five-player stepladder finals for the Badger, Wolf, Bear and Milwaukee Opens, plus the GEICO Summer King of the Swing special event, will be taped over two days by the CBS Sports Network Saturday and Sunday at AMF Bowlero for airing on five consecutive Tuesdays at 7 p.m. ET beginning June 11.

The GEICO Summer King of the Swing will include the four Summer Swing event champions plus the next highest points leader who hasn’t won a title. Those five will compete in a $25,000 stepladder final for a $10,000 first prize, concluding the summer series on June 2.

TNBA “A Hard Road to Glory”

The National Bowling Association, Inc. is a non-profit corporation organized in August 1939, in Detroit, Michigan, for the express purpose of encouraging Blacks to develop their skills in the game of Ten Pins. It was originally known as the “National Negro Bowling Association”; because at the time of its birth, Blacks and other Non-Caucasians were not permitted to belong to ABC or WIBC; due to certain restrictive clauses in their constitutions. Since our membership included a large number of Asians, Hispanics, Native Americans and people of color other than Black; in 1944 our organization was renamed, “The National Bowling Association, Inc.” We actively participated in the fight for “Equality in Bowling”; and in 1950, both ABC and WIBC removed the Non-Caucasian clauses from their constitutions. Since 1951,TNBA members have enjoyed the privilege of competing in all open sanctioned leagues and tournaments.

Our “Ongoing” Mission

TNBA’s constitution purpose has always been to foster and promote the game of Ten Pins amongst both men and women. Membership is open to all bowlers, without regard to race, creed or color. Although approximately 80% of our present membership is Black, TNBA has no racial restrictions whatsoever as to membership or participation. TNBA proudly stands behind its motto as a “Promoter of Sportsmanship, Fellowship and Friendship” - Ideals which are accomplished through organized competition. We also serve as a recruiting agency and point-of-entry for young bowlers; who otherwise would not receive the encouragement, tutelage and guidance needed to learn the game and develop the skills that are essential to full enjoyment and successful competition. Such encouragement and training prepares TNBA bowlers to compete on equal terms in the tournament and competitions of their choice.
TNBA has been and continues to be a major factor in the integration of blacks into the “bowling world” and plays a part in the national movement toward implementation of American democracy, ideals and principles. The acquaintance that comes with contact and the respect that is engendered by superior skill helps break down unfavorable attitudes and racial barriers.

See How Far We’ve Come!!

The National Bowling Association is more than an organization. “WE ARE A FAMILY”. For the Black bowler especially, TNBA membership should be as automatic as USBC membership is to all bowlers; mainly due to the fact that The National Bowling Association is one of the largest Black-founded, Black-operated and Black-directed organizations in the country. The National Bowling Association was instrumental in opening the doors of open competition throughout our country for people of color. Even after full membership status was available in the ABC, TNBA continued its existence because the premise of its birth mandated its perpetuation.

TNBA is proud to “boast” some significant milestones below:

HISTORICAL HIGHLIGHTS

1939 - First Annual Tournament held in Cleveland, Ohio
1941 - Incorporated under state laws of Ohio
1944 - Name changed to National Bowling Association, Inc.
1945 - Joe Blue Award for Outstanding Achievement - deemed by Cleveland Alliance in memory of the deceased “organizer”
1950 - Racial restrictions removed from constitutions of American Bowling Congress and Women’s International Bowling Congress
1978 - J. Elmer Reed, Cleveland, Ohio, first black to he inducted into American Bowling Congress Hall of Fame
1980 - Mr. Aubrey Harrison bowled the first 300 game in TNBA in Los Angeles. Joan I. McDuffie of Chicago, Illinois was elected the first female President of TNBA.
2000 - Cornell M. Jackson of Lanham, Maryland and Alesia A. Bryant of St. Louis, Missouri, first two females elected President and Vice President, respectively, along with Margaret S. Lee of Brooklyn, New York as Executive Secretary-Treasurer became the first all female Executive Cabinet of TNBA.

Over the years TNBA has continued its growth pattern and its growth paralleled the movement of Blacks from the rural areas of our country to the major metropolitan centers of the nation. Diversified programming, geared to the needs of a given area, became the keynote of TNBA’s format; as the organization’s membership ranks swelled and its geographic scope widened. TNBA, in its 72nd year of existence, has over 23,000 members contained in over 100 local chapters throughout the country, plus Bermuda.

The motivation to join the National Bowling Association is simple and direct.

Moving Forward & Upward!!!!

TNBA membership signifies unity and strength through organization and the sense of belonging to a dedicated, purposed and progressive group; and helping to achieve unity, strength and solidarity. TNBA membership is a small price to pay when we consider the heritage aspect of TNBA’s tradition and what our status is today; as a result of foresight and dedication on the part of our founding fathers. Today, TNBA is a successful operation that has weathered the growing pains that plague most organizations; and is in a position to become one of the most viable Black organizations in the world. TNBA pays its way - as does its membership. TNBA only wants what TNBA is entitled to, in terms of today’s social and economic climate. TNBA must become more involved in the mainstream of American society. The accomplishment of this goal requires extensive programming and increased membership. TNBA IS the program…but YOU are the members. As TNBA membership increases, our programming will reflect growth in proportion to that increase.

To those who are “not yet onboard”; we say, STAND UP AND BE COUNTED. Become one who reacts through involvement in the shaping, forming and extension of a program geared to the needs of amateur bowlers across the United States. Remember…. It is not necessary to be a bowler to belong to TNBA.

Why not add your name to our membership rolls to help us grow bigger, stronger and even more effective in promoting an opportunity for and protecting the interests of our bowlers? Get yourself and your children involved in one of our many programs. After; it will be our YOUTH who will continue our legacy!

YOU NEED TNBA and TNBA NEEDS YOU.

WAUKESHA, Wis. - Four-time PBA Tour winner Bill O’Neill averaged 252 and opened with a 300 game to take the first round lead in the GEICO PBA Summer Swing Badger Open at Waukesha Lanes today.

Competing on PBA’s new 52-foot Badger lane conditioning pattern on a wood surface, O’Neill had a 1,262 five-game pinfall total with games of 300, 279, 223, 212 and 248.

“Bowling on a wood surface, which is something we never do, it makes you think and I like that,” O’Neill said. “I grew up bowling on wood surfaces so I know what to expect.

“For me bowling on wood lanes means you have to make your adjustments faster than on a wood surface. Every game I was having to move three or four boards to the left but I was still able to throw hard which is what I like to do.”

O’Neill is trying for his second win of the season having won the Alka Seltzer Plus Cold Cheetah Championship at the World Series of Bowling.

“I’ve had my ups and downs this season but overall I’m bowing well,” said the 2010 U.S. Open winner. “I felt like I really had only one bad event in the (USBC) Masters but other than that it’s been pretty good this year.”

Rounding out the top five are reigning PBA Player of the Year Sean Rash, 1,228; four-time titlist Mike Fagan, 1,185; Ryan Ciminelli, 1,172 and Jake Peters, 1,170.

Qualifying for the Badger Open continues this afternoon with the second round at 5 p.m. After Monday’s qualifying the field will be cut to the top 24 for match play on Tuesday.

Following the Badger Open will be the Wolf Open May 22-24 at AMF West Lanes, the Bear Open May 26-28 at AMF Bowlero and the Milwaukee Open May 29-30 also at AMF Bowlero. The top 28 qualifiers based upon 30 games, total pinfall from the three animal pattern events, will advance to the Milwaukee Open. Stepladder finals will be taped over two days by the CBS Sports Network June 1-2 at Bowlero for airing on five consecutive Tuesdays at 7 p.m. ET beginning June 11.

The GEICO Summer King of the Swing special event featuring the four Summer Swing event champions plus the next highest points leader will compete in a five-player, $25,000 stepladder final for a $10,000 first prize to conclude the summer series on June 2.
