Seabreeze sweeps bowling districts
By ROY PARRY
Staff Writer
DELAND — As the Seabreeze coaches and players gathered for post-tournament celebration photos, you had to wonder if everybody’s face would show up in the frame.
After all, when both of your teams win a district title, it means a lot of squeezing together just to get in the picture. And that seemed just fine with the Sandcrabs.
The Seabreeze boys battled through the consolation bracket and grabbed their second straight title, while the girls squad had an easier time, winning in three games in the finals during Tuesday’s District 3 bowling championship at Sunshine Lanes.
The top two teams — and the top three individuals not on a qualifying team — advance to next week’s state finals.
While the Sandcrabs defended their title, they took the bumpy road to get there. They were one game away from beating DeLand in the semifinals before losing. Then, they were one game from elimination in the finals before rallying behind a flurry of strikes and spares to win 3-2 and force a winner-take-all match.
“The one thing about these kids is they have a lot of heart,” Sandcrabs boys coach Bob Guidotti said. “I just asked them, ‘How bad do you want it?’ And they responded.”
In the finale, the teams split the first two games before Seabreeze held on for a 14-pin victory in Game 3, then opened Game 4 with six straight strikes to put the Bulldogs away.
On the girls side, Seabreeze kept its perfect season intact after beating Atlantic in the semifinals and DeLand in the finals to win its first district title.
“They did exactly what I expected them to do,” girls assistant coach Brent Begnoche said. “All along we told them that we were going to have the targets on our backs and they would have to step up their game. And the girls certainly responded.”

Tour Ultra Bowling Shoes
The shoes that I am wearing on the lanes are Dynothane Tour Ultras. I got them about 5 years ago although they look about 6 months old. Since then Dynathane line of shoes are known under the 3G label and are available through 900 Global. They are the lightest pair of bowling shoes I have ever owned and they as comfortable as any pair of shoes available today. Also, they have interchangeable heel and soles. If you are in the market for a new pair of shoes, you should check these out.
Roto Grip Cell Pearl Bowling Ball
An awesome compliment to the Cell for those lanes with a lighter oil condition!
The time of reckoning has arrived and the Roto Grip Kingdom welcomes the addition of the newest legend of the land. Bred from the original and designed to compliment its predecessor, the Cellâ„¢ Pearl will reign supreme.
The technologically advanced and performance proven Nucleusâ„¢ core delivers continuous predictable motion for all types of bowlers. The Cytoplasmic Xâ„¢ pearl reactive coverstock is a first in the industry with the optimum amount of porosity and enhanced surface friction.
The synergy of core and coverstock on the Cell Pearlâ„¢ generates a strong angular move off the spot on those medium to lighter volume patterns with unprecedented predictability. This ball is the ultimate compliment to the original and will surely dominate the entire bowling kingdom.
Storm Gravity
I am left handed with a lower rev rate. My PAP is 4-3/4 left & 5/8″ up.
The layout I used was:
Pin to axis 2-3/4
MB 2″ left of center line
CG on center line
No weight hole
For me, out of the box the Storm Gravity with this layout needs oil. When I first used this ball, the house pattern didn’t have enough oil for the ball to skid. Inside, outside the roll on the ball look the same from front to back. It didn’t roll out, it just didn’t carry the corners. I was just about to use some polishes on it, when the house pattern started to have more oil in the middle. So I gave it another try, now the ball has a distinctive skid upfront picks up in the midlane and makes a turn and hits the pins hard.
I haven’t used the ball in league yet on a fresh shot, but will be the first out of my bag this week. I’m not sure how this ball will do on the house patterns for me, since I like using weaker coverstocks. But, this ball will definately be in my bag for Nationals since I always see more out there.
Over all if you can’t tell I like the ball but I probably would have chosen a different layout for house patterns. Atleast the ones I come accross.

Weber wins 1st European Title with Dimension
Storm staffer Pete Weber won two matches en route to his first career European Bowling Tour title in the 30th Trofeu Internacional Ciutat de Barcelona at Bowling Pedralbes in Barcelona, Spain, July 22-27.
The PBA Hall of Famer, who had back-to-back 300 games in qualifying topped No. 3 seeded Nicole Sanders, Netherlands, 236-211 in the semifinal and went on to defeat No. 1 seeded Paul Moor 214-211 in the championship match.
Weber qualified second behind fellow PBA star Sean Rash to make the top 48 before eventually making the top 24 cut, Weber in 7th and Sean in 12th. The field then bowled four more games of qualifying to determine the top three for T.V. Weber qualified second behind Moor and ahead of Sanders.
PETE’S JOURNAL
“Well, it’s not often that I get to participate on the European Tour, but my experience was a pleasurable one,†Weber said. “One thing I learned is not to under-estimate the European bowlers. They are better bowlers than we seem to give them credit for. I was thoroughly impressed with the way they performed. It was a great honor to add my fourth country to my titles list. I look forward to returning and bowling more tournaments in Europe.â€
“Whether it was San Marino or Barcelona, I used three different Storm Dimension, said Weber. “First, in San Marino, I used two different ones. The first day when I arrived in San Marino, I bowled with a pin up, extra hole 6″ from middle of span, which is my favorite layout, and bowled 1575 for 6 games of qualifying.”
“I noticed during the qualifying rounds the lanes becoming more tighter. I then asked Peter Somoff to drill a new Dimension with the pin in the middle of span and the extra hole down 1/4″ from axis point. First squad of match play I shot 258 and 279. Next match I barely made it through by 5 pins. Then I lost in the round of four to Thomas Gross, who was also using a Dimension or Rapid Fire.”
“All in all, the Dimension is one of the best balls I have ever used. It is very easy to see the ball roll/react down the lane with the layouts I used giving me the reactions I want to see. I saw a lot of the foreigners using the Dimension or some sort of Storm equipment.”
“Now onto Barcelona. My first squad I didn’t bowl so well. I used a pin up Dimension. Each pair was reacting differently. I couldn’t quite read the ball going down the lane. Second squad, I used pin down, just under my fingers, with extra hole 6″ from middle of span. First game 164. Then I decided to change hand positions because I knew there was a way to get this ball to react. All of sudden I’m reading the ball down lane. After 4 games I was 200 over with back-to-back 300s. After the six game block I was 220 over.”
“On Sunday, more qualifying games. First 4 games, 855, qualified 7th. The next four games I had 935, qualified 2nd for the t.v. show. Only two practices balls on t.v. then the games starts. I moved right to play between the first and second arrows and threw the Dimension as hard as I could keeping the ball in play. It just proves that you can make the Dimension hit going straight or hooking the lane. And then on to a VICTORY!”
“I had a wonderful experience with our Staff and Mr. and Mrs. Chrisman and everyone involved with the European Bowlers Tour. It was a honor and a pleasure to represent Storm.”
Weber earned 12.000 Euro or approximately $18,850 for first place and moved up into a 16th place tie in the 2008 European Bowling Tour (EBT) rankings.
