FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Michael Coffey of Melbourne, Fla., and Kelly Skalacki of Coram, N.Y., captured the boys’ and girls’ titles in the Teen Masters Grand Championships at Sawgrass Lanes, earning $7,500 scholarships. Coffey and Skalacki also earned berths in the boy vs. girl Tee n Masters Grand Championship match to be conducted as part of the Professional Bowlers Association’s Champion’s Challenge telecast on ESPN later in the year as part of PBA World Series of Bowling VI at South Point in Las Vegas. Coffey, 19, finished with an 11-6-1 match play record and averaged 220.29 for his 42 games to run away with the boys title. His 9,597 pinfall total, including bonus pins for matches won, was 553 pins better than runner-up John Gallagher of Stuart, Fla., who posted a 12-6 match play record and averaged 206.76 on the demanding PBA-caliber lane condi- tions. Wesley Low Jr. of Palmdale, Calif., finished third with 8,857 pins followed by Kamron Doyle of Brentwood, Tenn., at 8,838 and Brandon Knowles of Westminster, Colo., at 8,800. “My secret was I practiced and prepared a lot,” the recent Eau Gallie High School graduate said. After a disappointing per- formance in the 2013 Teen Masters when he bowled as a member of Junior Team USA, Coffey said he was determined to do better this time around. “I practiced with the two (Teen Masters) balls all year long,” he said. “I worked on my grip, throwing at any speed I needed, different hand positions, different angles on the lane. I knew I could do basically anything I wanted. I just had to stay calm and make good shots. “I only used the urethane ball in the tournament. I couldn’t get the plastic ball to work the way I wanted, but I was very surprised I led by that much because ther e were some pretty goo d bowlers here .” Coffey said he will use his scholarship money to attend Lindenwood University in St. Louis in the fall.

By Bill Vint - PBA SHAWNEE, Okla. – Top qualifier Bill O’Neill of Langhorne, Pa., brought the Professio nal Bowlers Association Tour’s Oklahoma’s Grand Casino Resort PBA Summer Swing to a near-perfect close, cruising past Sean Rash of Montgomery, Ill., to win the King of the Swing finale, 245-181, at the Grand Event Center. The concluding event in Oklahoma’s Grand Casino Resort PBA Summer Swing aired on CBS Sports Network. The Oklahoma’s Grand Casino Resort King of the Swing was contested on the 52- foot Badger lane condition, select- ed by O’Neill as the Summer Swing points leader. O’Neill won the PBA Badger Open earlier in the swing. The final match was decided early. O’Neill struck on eight of his first nine shots and held a 55- pin lead after five frames when Rash failed to convert the 4-7-9- 10 split in his fifth frame. After a second split and open by Rash in the seventh frame, O’Neill had the match locked up. O’Neill’s open in the 10th frame was meaning- less. The King of the Swing was a special event. No PBA Tour title was awarded, but O’Neill took home $10,000 and a lot of restored confidence.
