🎳👑 ON TONIGHT’S EPISODE OF KING OR QUEEN OF THE LANES… 👑🎳
What a night.
First off, THANK YOU. The turnout tonight was incredible, and the atmosphere was exactly what makes this event so special. Great bowling, great people, and a whole lot of fun.
We even had a youth bowler join us tonight. While Beau stayed home this week, Dominik stepped up to the challenge and battled through all four games. We couldn’t be prouder of him. Keep working, keep learning, and keep having fun, Dominik—we’re all rooting for you! 👏🎳
Now for the competition…
After four games of qualifying, our Top 4 were:
🥇 Jeff Stowe
🥈 Todd “Five-Oh” Shively
🥉 Kennie Goad
🏅 Chris Herrera
And here’s where things got interesting…
Jeff and Todd finished qualifying tied at 1002 for four games. A 9th and 10th frame roll-off was needed to determine the #1 and #2 seeds. After sorting through the handicap math (which may have required a committee meeting 🤣), Jeff earned the top spot and Todd settled into second.
The Step Ladder began with Chris Herrera and Kennie Goad. Kennie advanced.
Next up was Todd Shively, and Kennie stayed hot, putting together another fantastic game to earn a shot at the title.
That set the stage for the championship match:
🔥 Jeff Stowe vs. Kennie Goad 🔥
Jeff was giving Kennie 20 pins, but once the lights came on and the title was on the line, Jeff made it look like business as usual. Frame after frame, mark after mark, he showed why he was the top qualifier and rolled his way to the crown.
🏆 This Week’s Final Results
🥇 Jeff Stowe
🥈 Kennie Goad
🥉 Todd Shively
🏅 Chris Herrera
Congratulations to all of our bowlers tonight. Every week the field gets tougher, the competition gets better, and the stories somehow keep getting better too.
Most importantly, thank you all for supporting Riverside Lanes and making Thursday nights feel like a bowling family reunion. We appreciate every single one of you and can’t wait to do it all again next week. ❤️🎳👑
