JBT (Junior Bowlers Tour) California Baker Open
Local bowlers Jimmy Hefley and Andrew Svoren made their way to Canoga Park Bowl this past weekend to participate in the annual JBT California Baker Open along with 24 total 5-man teams.
The lane conditions were absolutely brutal with many of the teams not shooting a 200 game at all in the 12-game qualifier. Neither Andrew nor Jimmy’s team made the top 12 team cut, although Hefley did win the halftime nine pin or better strikeout contest which leaves the last man standing, good for $50!
