Squads, Standings and Match play information will be added soon. A day of confusion and low scores, but when the dust settled it was John Ferretti who was left standing on 11 and 12 to conclude the 32nd New Year Scratch Classic. John had to beat 5 of the best during match play on the cold Sunday afternoon. Some of the favors fell early in the bracket of 24. Adam Philps, Adam Barta and Jeremy Crist we're the first to fall in round one. The biggest shock was when local Mike Shady fell in the 2nd round to Brian Chec. Non-Exempt Billy Oatman qualified in the top 8 which had a first round bye. He fell to Ferretti in the 3rd round. When Ferretti was matched against Brian Chec qualifying leader for the day if was a battle. It came down to the tenth when ferretti needed the first 2 strikes in the tenth to win the match. Wolcott rolled over the field coming through the bracket shooting a blistering 798 for his three games to the final. Wolcott had to beat local Ryan Avione to get to the finals. Once again the finals come down to the tenth with Ferretti who had a chance to shut Wolcott out. Ferretti's first ball in the tenth smashed a solid ten pin, spare and 8 gave ferretti 210. Wolcott needed a double to to take the classic but came up short on his first ball leaving a 2 pin and a 197 game.
For the 10th straight year taking 24 to match play has been easy thanks to some of the greatest bowlers in the tri state area. With only a handful of local who dare to try one of the toughest oil conditioned tournament in town, With the help of New Yorkers and Ohioens taking 24 to match has been a great accomplishment for the 32 year old tournament. Just in the past 3 years, a new tournament director has been able to guarantee the $1000 prize for first place not based on any number of entries. I just want to thank all of the great bowlers who came out and made this year another great year. Thanks |
