Beat the Champs: Section 2, Suburbanite Bowl

SHARE Beat the Champs: Section 2, Suburbanite Bowl

Malika Manouzi is a quick study.

In her first year bowling, she rolled the women’s top score Saturday at the Section 2 sectional of the 55th Beat the Champions at Suburbanite Bowl in Westmont. The physical education coach at Morton East High School totaled 765 with 191 in handicap.

In BTC, bowlers who average below 210 receive 90 percent of the difference as handicap.

Joseph Kwiecinski topped the men’s side with an 834, which included 180 pins of handicap.

Manouzi, who advanced out Striker Lanes, rolled games of 211, 193 and 170.

“I really practiced the last week, one time came by here,’’ she said. “I was watching and making adjustments. Watching how the ball moved and where they stood. I stayed mainly in the middle. I didn’t adjust fast enough in the last game.’’

This was a bonus trip for Manouzi, who is the assistant girls bowling coach for Morton. She only advanced from the Friday night mixed league as an alternate, actually the third one.

Kwiecinski, a forklift operator from Plainfield, is also bowling for the first time, filling in the Friday Night Invitational at Rolling Lanes.

“I liked the lanes,’’ he said.

Indeed, with games of 246, 197 and 211.

The big numbers that matter in BTC is for charity. In the first 54 years the Sun-Times and the Chicagoland Bowling Proprietors Association cosponsored BTC, more than 5.7 million entries from league bowlers raised more than $2.7 million.

A familiar face reached the finals. Jason Wojnar, the 2007 men’s champion, again reached the finals. In the finals, both the women’s winner (Lan-Oak Lanes, March 6) and men’s (Elk Grove Bowl, March 13) is a Ford Focus from the Chicagoland Ford Dealers.

Other men advancing were Brandon Dudley, Ron Nuccio, Chris Hammock, Daniel Hernandez and Steve Urban.

Other women advancing Shawna Myrick, LeKetha Adams, Deborah Harris, Terri Niersbach, Genevieve Schwabe and Charity Musial.
