 Welcome to the Seelman Athletic Club Holiday Youth Scholarship Bowling Tournament. We would like to thank WSCS-TV for once again filming our championship matches. We would also like to thank Bill and Paula Hilbert, owners of Lakeshore Aliens, for hosting today's tournament and being a major sponsor. The first match that WSCS-TV will be filming today is the fourth place team in qualifying, bowling against the third place team. That winner will bowl against the second place team in qualifying, and then that game's winner will bowl against the team leading qualifying for the championships. First place winning teams will split the $1,500 prize. Second place is $750. Third place is $450, and fourth place is $300. Our color commentator today is a local bowler who for the past few years has been bowling in the Midwest Regional Pro Tour. He is Scott Hunick. Scott will be commenting on the bowlers during the stepladder finals, and he will be interviewing some of the bowlers during the matches. This should be interesting. Welcome, Scott. At this time, the fourth place qualifiers for Division I come on up, and the third place division qualifiers. All right, they will be bowling the first match along with the Division II on the other pair of lanes. Thank you. Now, Division II, fourth place qualifiers. Come on up. And third place qualifiers. These two teams will be bowling against each other. This is a Baker format where they rotate bowling. It's been fun, and I think we're in for some good excitement here. Thank you, and we'll be right back with today's first match. We just finished dinner, and it was time for homework. He hates homework. I know he's bright. Why is it so hard for me? I'm trying as hard as I can. One in five children struggle with learning and attention issues. Go from misunderstanding to understood.org. All right, welcome back everybody to the Fulman Athletic Club 2018 youth tournament here at Lakeshore Lanes in Sheboygan. We'd like to thank our sponsors Chuck Miesfeld, Lakeshore Lanes, and of course Thielman Athletic Club. Right now we're going to get matches started with fourth place taking on third place in both Division I and Division II. Handicap is based 100% difference of team average, so we will get into that as we get bowling. All right, good luck both teams, and you're good to go. For those of you watching this year who changed the format around, we're doing a Baker format this year. Three person. Starting off with a pair of strikes by Gabby and Chase. Fourth place team in Division I. Division I will be on your left hand side on lanes 21 and 22. Division II is on lanes 23 and 24. So your fourth place team in Division I is team new team. They have a 192 team average. They are bowling against a third place qualifiers of HSA. They have a 171 team average. So the difference of that would be 21 pins. So HSA will be getting 21 pins this game. In Division II, the fourth place team is three musketeers. They have a team average of 132. And the third place team of three spares has a team average of 106. So the difference there is going to be 26 pins. Good looking ball by Logan Weigel. It's a one game match. Spares are critical. Break there on lane 22, breaking up the split. Chase coming back here on lane 21. Let's see if he can put a double together for his team. Which he does. Everett covering his spare on lane 22. Each division had nine teams in each division. So they ended up bowling everybody once. And there was also a line so the team that was not paired up with anybody pulled the line so they actually pulled nine games of qualifying today. Recovers his spare. At the bottom on lane 24. He's a five pin. Logan coming up a little bit high. Seven-count split. A unique format this year. All the teams had to have at least one girl in their team. And there was a couple teams I believe that were all girls. Gets a break, breaks up the split. Leaving the 6-10. Recovers his spare on 23. HSA is off to a great start. 60 pin lead on team new team. That's in division one. Division two game is a little bit tighter. A lot of difference of four pins right now. Goers over here and have a talk with them. 97. That's just a sign of the ball not having the right angle. Right entry angle into the pocket. Technical issues on lane 21 here. We'll get those resolved in here shortly. Going to bounce it out. Didn't quite get there. Dizzy covers one in their split. Let's see the totals here. Actually a frame ahead over there. So it's pretty even right now on 23 and 24 in division two. Right now we're going to have a word with Chase. Chase, you started off pretty high here. You got three strikes out of the three frames you shot. You guys are looking pretty good going into the 10th frame here. Do you think having the lane issue over there is going to place you guys down a little bit and you think it'd be okay? How old are you? 15. 15? What school do you go to? Plymouth High School. Plymouth High School and that'd be what? Freshman? Freshman. Good. All right. We'll go get him as Chase Hailing. He bowls out at Odyssey Fun Center in Sheboygan Falls. 21 is fixed. Good to go. HSA. We'll pick up a turkey. Now Chase will go up in the 10th to finish that off. And that one's pretty much a done deal. Team New will end up taking fourth place. HSA is going to move on to bowl the number two seed here in just a little bit. So we'll concentrate over here on Division Two. A big split. If Luke can make this, he'll put a lot of pressure. Get over there. Yeah, boy. Luke covers that spare, so that's going to be huge for this team. If Izzy can put a mark together, Team Three Sparice could win this game. She just need to be calm. Looking at the score sheet here. Which she gets on the first ball. So Team Three Sparice is going to move on to Division Two. And they will face the team of Hambo. And in Division One, HSA moves on. And they will face the second seed team of Guess Who. Izzy and Chase will finish up their 10 frames here. Again, we'd like to thank our sponsors, Chuck Miesfeld, Lake Shore Lanes, and Thielman Athletic Club for all of their work with the Thielmans and putting on the youth scholarship tournaments here in Shiboy and Coney. We'd also like to thank Gary Gasper for putting this together and all of his helpers with the Thielman Athletic Club. Izzy misses a spare, but that's okay. The team will move on to face the next round. So that's it for the first round of this. We'll be right back after these words for the second match of today's finals. Ever see elephants hiding in trees? Because they're really good at it. Team HSA won their match. Come on up. And they'll be bowling against our second place qualifying team. Come on up. Guess Who I guess was your name, correct? This will be the next match on 21 and 22. Thank you. Then the team that won the last match, come on up. Congratulations on winning. And they will be bowling the second place qualifying. Come on up. This team's name was Ham Bone. So that will be the match on lanes 23 and 24. We'll be right back with that match starting. Drop the baby. Round two of the Thielman Athletic Club 2018 Youth Tournament here at Lakeshore Lanes in Chicago, Michigan, Wisconsin. We'd like to thank our sponsors again, Chuck Miesfeldt, Lakeshore Lanes, and of course the Thielman Athletic Club. Here we go with match number two. HSA will be taking on Gasu in Division One. That handicap difference is going to be 21 pins going to HSA. Then match two in Division Two. Three spares as a team average of 132 and team Ham Bone coming in as the second seed as an average of 160. So that difference will be 28 pins. Here we go with match number two. Peter Merver is going to lead things off on lane 22. Comes up a little bit high. Team Ham Bone gets a strike on lane 24. Izzy coming through clutch on 23 starting off with a strike. They've got a key spare in that first match. They've pretty much sealed the deal for their team to move on to the next round. So in total, we have a total of 18 teams compete today in a Baker format, three person Baker format. It's a unique format and fun. A lot of the high school bowling clubs will bore the Baker format throughout the year for their high school matches. Here kids are getting a taste of what it's going to be like in high school here in a couple years for them. So 18 teams, 54 bowlers out of those 54 bowlers. 24 bowlers will receive scholarship money from today's tournament. Award $1,500 for the first place team. It will be $500 for each bowler on that team that gets first place. The fourth place teams in the last match who finished in fourth place will receive $300. $100 for each person. So a lot of scholarship money for the kids to use when they go to college. Luke trying to cover his spare on lane 23. The light gets three. He hurts that with no problem. Chase Hilling started off with a strike. Now looking for his second strike on lane 21. He comes up a little bit high. 24, 7 count. So the lanes are drying up a little bit. Kids are going to have to make some adjustments. Move in a little deeper or pick up the speed. Chase getting two out of four over there on 21. Hunter going for his spare and gets two out of the three. Spares are huge in Baker format. Here covers his spare on lane 22. Let's see if we can get four spares here out of this. Sadie's trying to convert hers on 23. Looks good. Three out of the four. Not bad. Up on lane 22. Nice smooth delivery. Four pin. It's a good ball by Luke there. Good form. Probably just needs to hang on the ball just a little bit longer to get more reaction out of that ball. I think it was just about halfway down when it came back. Veronica up on 22 to cover her spare. Right on line. The team that loses here will be finishing in third place. And that team will get $450 of scholarship money for that team. Each bowler receiving $150 each in scholarship money. Melanie up on lane 22. We're going to bring Melanie back here and talk to her in a bit. Ten pin coming in a little behind the head pin. See what that ball did. It's capable of making that spare. Chase throwing another strike on 21 after leaving the split. Good try by Hunter on 24. So let's take a look at her towards here. Team three spares has a commanding lead over team hand bone on 23 and 24. And our match on 21 and 22 is pretty tight right now. Team HSA is actually a frame ahead of them. So let's see how that turns out here in the next frame. HSA has a double up working and team guess who has nine spare. Right now we're going to talk to Melanie real quick. So Mel, you guys came in here as the second seed. Bold pretty good in qualifying. How does it compare to junior gold? You've bowled really well at junior gold. Congratulations with that. And I heard you qualified again for next year in Detroit. Are you looking forward to that? What's the difference between now and then? The big difference is it's a lot more stressful because you're on your way. It's a little bit bigger scale and you're on your own. So it's a little bit more pressure on yourself. But I'm only going a baker format versus going by yourself. You think there's more pressure in a baker format versus individual? I think there's a lot more pressure not to let your teammates down. Good luck. We'll get one here. So that was Melanie. She did well at junior gold last year. You may have seen her on ESPN. She ended up finishing, I believe, third or fourth in her division. She bowled really, really well. First she bowled again. She's just got some really good breaks against her. Hopefully she'll keep that up this year. So let's take a look at our scores here. And it looks like Team Three Spares is going to move on, beating Team Hamelons. Team Hamelons are going to finish in third place. And they will win $450 in scholarship money. We're looking over here at 21 and 22. Team HSA has a bit of a lead. Melanie just pulled it a little bit, but carried a trip to fourth in. It's a huge, huge shot right there. Must make spare on 21. Covers it. It's the strike here. That's going to seal the match, I believe. Yup. That does seal the match. Team HSA is going to move on to the championship finals. And they will face Team Don't Squeeze the Charmin. And then Division Two, Team Three Spares is going to move on and face Team A2K. That was a great shot by Peter. Unfortunately, it's going to be just a little bit short on the totals. Great, great shot. So our championship match is going to be Team Three Spares against A2K in Division Two. And then our championship match in Division One is going to be Team HSA against Don't Squeeze the Charmin for the title for $1,500 in scholarship money. The championship match is going to be a little bit different. So we'll have that right after this and we'll get to the details. All right. Welcome back to the 2018 Sheboygan's Fieldman Athletic Club Youth Tournament here at Lakeshore Leans in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. We are here with the championship match. It's a unique format today. It's going to be Baker format, three-person teams. Division One, we have Team HSA with a Team Average of 171 facing off against Don't Squeeze the Charmin or No. 1 seed with a Team Average of 178. It's a difference of seven pins per game. It will be a two-game total pinfall. So Team HSA is going to get 14 pins in Division One. In Division Two, we have three spares facing off against the No. 1 seed of A2K. Three spares is a 132 average, A2K a 157 average, a difference of 25 pins per game, a total of 50 pins total for the two-game total pinfall Baker format. All right. Let's get rolling with our final match of the day for the championship and $1,500. Again, we'd like to thank our sponsors, Chuck Miesfeldt, Lakeshore Lanes, and the Thielman Athletic Club, putting on such a fabulous tournament today. 18 teams, 54 bowlers, and $6,000 in prize money. Kaden leaving the 8-pin on lane 23. And in Chase fashion, starting off with a strike. I believe he started off his team with a strike in every game in the matches today and so far. Kaden covering his spare on 23. Parker putting up a double for his Team HSA. Justin carrying the light shot on 22. Again, this will be a two-game total pinfall. Team HSA is going to get 14 pins of handicap. We'll try and keep you informed on the totals as we go along. Team 3 spares in Division 2 on the right on 23 and 24 is going to get 50 pins. Kelly covering her 10-pin on lane 23. Fauscher getting a strike on 23. Throwing on 24 leaves the big four split before 6, 7, 10. Kaden coming up a little light, leaving the 4-pin on 23. Chase on 21. Getting 9 pins there, leaving the 10-pin. Kaden covers his spare on 23. Chase looking to cover his spare on lane 21 with no problem. Two pulled balls from Morgan here. Maybe a little bit of pressure for her feeling a little uncomfortable being on TV. Justin up on lane 22. A son of Kevin. Pulls it a little bit. 7-count. Parker up on lane 21. Nice smooth delivery. Oh, it's a good break there. Almost a 7-10. 7 falls late. Izzy covers her spare on lane 24. Justin trying to cover his 7-count here. And gets 1. Pulled it again a little bit. Says to Kelly, pick me up. That's a joy about team bowling. One comes down and you have two more people to pick you up. Valsha calling for the crossover on release and gets it. Kelly ripping through the ball on 22 and does pick up Mr. Gamal. It's again awarding over $6,000 in scholarship prizes. The second place team today is going to go home with $750 for the team. $250 each bowler. The winning team is going to go home with $1,500 for the team and $500 each for each bowler. Again, we'd like to thank the Thielman Athletic Club for their continued support and running of this tournament. And Lakeshore Leans for hosting the tournament as well as Chuck Miesveld for sponsoring the tournament as well. Izzy throws her next ball. We're going to have her come over and talk to her and how she's handling the pressure of bowling and what she thinks about today. Justin frustrated with himself again, pulling the ball and he's just got to make that adjustment on his next ball and come back. He's actually got a real positive attitude, which is really good and you don't find that very often with youth bowlers, so hopefully he can overcome this and make some good shots here coming up. Let's see if Kelly can pick him up again. All right, we're going to say hi to Izzy. Izzy, how old are you? 13 currently? Okay. So where'd you go to school? I went to the Bryce Charlotte Academy. So what have you learned so far today in bowling a Baker format versus just bowling by yourself? I learned that you take turns with your teammates and it's just one game. It is a lot of fun. It's more fun bowling with others in a team format and you get to cheer each other up when you're down. All right, good luck. Keep bowling good. You get a strike on lane 21 for team HSA. They're sitting at 151 with a strike up in the ninth. Team DSC, or Don't Squeeze the Sherman, is 117 pending the spare conversion here on 22. So they're going to be sitting at 145 with an open and team HSA 151 with a strike up. In Division 2 on 23 and 24, as Caden just picked up a spare, they're sitting at 135 in the ninth with a spare up in the tenth with a fill ball to remain. Luke is up on lane 24 trying to convert seven pins. Got a good shot at it. Crossed over too much, so Justin continuing to struggle a little bit. Caden didn't like that shot, gets eight on the fill for a 153. Cap is included in these scores. Is he getting a strike in the tenth? Converts to the spare on 22 with a fill ball remaining with a possible 165. Chase carries a strike for a score of 191 on lane 21. Justin fills here, they have 165. Team A2K at 153, and three spares had 165. So that's a 12-pin difference. Teams are switching sides now. We'll be back right after this commercial break. There's one thing you can never have sex without. It's consent. Because sex without it isn't sex. It's rape. It's on us to stop sexual assault. Learn how and take the pledge at it'sonus.org. All right, we're back for the final game of Division 1 and Division 2 in the step-letter finals. Again, I'd like to thank our sponsors Chuck Miesfeldt, Lakeshore Lanes, and Thielman Athletic Club. So we're going to do the final game here. First game, HSA beat. Don't squeeze the Charmin by 23. 28, 28 pins. So they have a 28-pin lead going into this last game. In Division 2, three spares have defeated A2K 165 to 153. A difference of 12 pins. So that's a pretty tight match. DSC has their cuddle for them. Justin coming back with a strike to lead off game number two. Here comes up just a little bit behind the headpin leaving the 10-pin. Bear about that one and then turn around. You got it. You're good. Here's your version on lane 22. Sadie up on lane 23. Looks good. Yep, just rubbing down lane 24. Team with a double. Three spares with a double. So the totals are up on the boards if you're here in-house watching. Both games are totaled together. Sporting coverage here, 8-spare. Izzy, 23. Gets another one. Kids are just getting warmed up. Gets a strike for his team. Just trading back and forth right now. Having some conversation on lane 24. They're trying to help each other out, line each other up. Covers a spare on lane 24. Wasn't sure about it when we released it, but no problem. Justin trying to rebound again. Chase covers his 10-pin, no problem. Match up a little bit. Turkey up through the fifth frame. That's going to tighten that match up real good. Pounds back here. Got to shake that off. Got to come back and make a good shot on the second ball. Luke up on lane 23. Looks like we might get 2-1 out of this. It's such a good format for the kids to earn the value of teamwork and working together and picking each other up when someone else is down. Things you can use in life over the spare in 21. Got it. Trying to get at least two here. A big strike by Team HSA on 22 right there. They needed that. Right now it's tight. It's a tight match right now. DSC don't squeeze the charm and has taken a 4-pin lead in Division 1. Remember they were down 28 pins going into this final game. And they now have a 4-pin lead going into the 7-3. Justin has bounced back big time in game number 2. He struggled in game 1. Now he is back. Chase in lane 22. A little bit high, 4-pin. Brugging on 24 goes 7 count. Kelly Whipple on 21 goes a little high and carries. Sadie trying to cover her spare on 20. Chase covers his on 22. And Brugging covers hers on 24. Looking at the matches here. Division 2 that is... We might have to get a ruling on that on 23. We have to get a ruling on this. Yup, yup. Luke. So we had a foul on lane 23. Luke caught his balance. Luke caught his balance but he actually touched past the line which is a foul. He's converted on 21. He gets a 9. Leads a 10-pin on 22. So this match DSC has 350 with a spare up on the 9th. HSA is good if Daytona can cover this on 22. He's going to have 337 with a spare up in the 9th if she can cover on lane 22. Bill, shut out. Team HSA. So Team DSC is going to move on and win. The Thuman Athletic Club tournament this year and win $1,500 for their team. Brugging leaving the 5-pin on lane 24. Izzy up to convert the spare on lane 23. Just a hook a little bit. And gets three out of the four. The team three spares is going to run the table and win Division 2 in $1,500 for their team. It was a great day of bowling here in Sheboygan. Again, we'd like to thank the Thuman Athletic Club. Chuck Miesfeld and Lake Shore Lane's Gary and Paula Hilbert. Such classy people. Thank you, Gary Gasper, for having me up again this year. Really appreciate that. Justin finishing up on lane 10, comes in a little light. That's plenty. He's just got to get one pin out of this and it's over. So team three spares defeats team A2K 370 to 344. Justin trying to convert five. No problem. Chase up to throw his last ball on lane 22. Match is over. Team DSC is going to win and beat team HSA. Chase finishes with a nine count. And team DSC don't squeeze the charm and finishes with 390 and team HSA finishes with 374. That will end today's matches at the Thuman Athletic Club Tournament here in Sheboygan. We'll be right back with the awards presentation right after this. United Way fights for the health, education and financial stability of every person in every community. All right. Welcome back to the Thuman Athletic Club Tournament for 2018.
