🚨Junior Gold REMINDER 🚨

If you have qualified for the national Junior Gold Championship in Minneapolis this July, and you are not able to go…..

PLEASE PLEASE ‼️

Send an email to your tournament director from where you/your bowler qualified notifying them you will not be going right away.

This is so critical at this point now in order to provide the opportunity to another bowler, especially on such short notice. If no bowler attends, those entry fees that were paid by the qualifying tournament are GONE & they don’t get a refund.

REMINDER- FJGS has a rule regarding not notifying us of your not being able to attend. If you have read these Rules, which you say you do each time you enter one of our events, you’ll know what that rule states. We will be cracking down on this, if you/your bowler abuses this.

Emergency situations are understandable. But if we aren’t notifying the main tournament staff of your absence, it creates a lot of unnecessary work on that staff’s part, plus it’s downright disrespectful of those who work so hard to put these national events and qualifiers together FOR YOU!

“Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.”

An email should be sent to [email protected] so that the request can be forwarded to the national staff. PLEASE DO NOT send a DM, message on Messenger or text. An email is needed to forward to the national tournament staff.

Thank you.

If you’re in the area of Boardwalk Bowl this weekend, please go out and support our at the U22 Masters & Queens tournament.

Lots of these Florida bowlers helped make our series what it is today. So whether you’re watching on BowlTV or in person, we know they’d be grateful for your support.

Best of luck to all bowlers, especially our 👏🏻👏🏻

Congratulations to Eli! 👏🏻👏🏻

Hall of Fame Silver Lanes in East Hartford, CT was the venue for this weekend’s PBA Jr. EAST Regional Qualifier for the PBA Jr. National Championship. Athletes from 8 states met up in Connecticut with hopes of earning their way to the PBA Jr. Finals in 2027.

In a very tightly contested U18 Boys Division, Eli Anckner (Jacksonville, FL) averaged 216 for the tournament and held off a late surge in the Position Round to capture his first-ever PBA Jr. title. In U15 Boys action, Arryn Odujebe (Manassas, VA) led the event literally from his first game and never looked back, grabbing his second PBA Jr. title in as many months. Since Arryn had already qualified for the PBA Jr. Finals last month, runner-up Ryan Tarsio (Newburgh, NY) earned a spot in the PBA Jr. Finals. Alyssa Randisi (Brooklyn, NY) jumped into the #1 spot in the U15 Girls Division following Qualifying Round #2 and held on for the remainder of the tournament to earn her first PBA Jr. title. PBA Jr. Ambassador Anna Antony (Farmington, CT) went 4-0 in Match Play and finished 347 pins in the lead to win the U18 Girls Division, her 8th PBA Jr. title. Congratulations to our new Champions and all of those who competed this weekend!

We’d also like to thank Jonathan Canterbury-Passoth and the entire staff at Hall of Fame Silver Lanes for hosting our event this weekend.

The next PBA Jr. event will be the PBA Jr. World Series of Bowling II at the iconic Thunderbowl Lanes in Allen Park, MI from June 8 – 12, 2026. This event sold out in 2025 so make sure you register today! You can check out the entire PBA Jr. Regional Qualifier schedule on the PBA Jr. page of PBA.com at the following link:

Our 2026 Scholarship Invitational is in the books! $11,000 in SMART scholarship was awarded after 8 grueling qualifying games and a stepladder of the top 3 bowlers in each division—all on 3 different lane patterns.

It was a busy day but made easy thanks to our helpers, Cindi Beissel & Bob Wisby, the management, staff & snack bar team at Ormond Lanes and the KB Ormond Pro Shop team and mechanics. We are truly grateful for everyone’s contribution to making the day run as smoothly as possible!

Congratulations to our 2026 Scholarship Invitational Champions!
