*** stewart earns black shirt ***

Michael Stewart earned his "black shirt" by capturing his second Masters title in our 12th Anniversary event at Espo's Entertainment Center. Michael barely made the finals qualifying for the last spot in the top eight match play. He then advanced to the title match by defeating Dean Mueller 312-200 and John Lee 269-171. His opponent for the championship match was Griffin Taylor who qualified 6th, and advanced with victories over Anthony Calarco 213-176 and Bobby Bass 207-195. The title match was decided quickly as Michael struck in six of the first seven frames and cruised to the 234-175 victory.

Champion's Profile: Michael Stewart is 32 years old and single. He has been bowling for 24 years and currently bowls league at Espo's. Michael has a 298 high game and a 773 high series that he rolled in this week's finals. He was using a Columbia Messenger drilled by Joe Bacagaluppi at Back to Basics Pro Shop inside Espo's. Michael said that his dad has helped him with his game. He thanked the ABT and Espo's for having the tournament. Michael said that he is currently unemployed so his winnings will really come in handy to pay some bills.

congratulations michael!

Tournament Notes: I want to thank all the volunteers who have stepped up their efforts to ensure that our tournaments continue to operate smoothly during my absence. I can't begin to tell you how greatly your efforts are appreciated. I also want to thank all of the bowlers who showed up this week to make our 12th Anniversary a memorable one. Walking into a full house of bowlers on Sunday was the best medicine I could possibly have and I am looking forward to getting back to you on a full time basis as soon as possible.
