Sunday, August 20, 2023 – Central Lanes Bowling Center, Tamuning, Guam
Jeremiah Camacho pinned his second 2023 Budweiser King of the Lanes monthly crown as he led from the onset of the contest and never looked back. Camacho opened with a 279-game striking at will and followed up with games of 212, 233, and 224 to lead the field by 149 pins during the qualifying rounds.
As the top seed, Camacho used the double round bye to prepare for his ascent to the throne. Camacho secured his slot in the monthly finals by ousting 7th seed Evan Duenas 204 to 167 in the semifinals. His final round opponent was 4th seed Ray San Nicolas who bowled a 254 semi-final game against 2nd seed Matthew Cruz.
San Nicolas took an early lead against Camacho in the final match but was short-lived as a missed single pin in the fourth frame leveled the playing field heading to mid-game. Camacho was able to keep the remaining game clean to take advantage of another missed frame by the lower seed and eventually secure his second title of the year.
In the Prince of the Lanes division, Sheila Bangs earned her first title of 2023 defeating 3rd seed Noah Tano by a comfortable margin. She took advantage of Tano’s missed spares and then spared a 3-6-7 split for good measure.
Bangs eliminated top seed Daniel Lee in the semi-final round, Arlene Reyes in the quarter-final round, and Ross Sslas in the opener. Tano secured his finals appearance by edging second seed Isaiah Macias in the semifinal, getting past Jaeceline Espiritu by a pin in extra frames, and using his handicap advantage over Enrique Corcino to start his journey.
The next Budweiser King and Prince of the Lanes will be held on Sunday, September 10, 2023, at 1:15 p.m. at the Central Lanes Bowling Center.
