BBA NORTH EXTENDS WINNING STREAK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the fifth straight year, the BBA North team upended the BBA South squad in the longstanding Karl Marth Cup series pitting bowlers from the former Batavia Bowling Association centers, this time primarily Medina Lanes (North) and Mancuso Bowling Center, Batavia (South).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The North team\u2019s 69-54 victory in Singles, Doubles, Baker Doubles and Baker Team competition at Medina Lanes on Dec. 6 gives the victors a 19-12 lead in the event\u2019s 31-year history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tournament is dedicated to the memory of the late Karl Marth, a Batavia Bowling Association (now Genesee Region USBC) Hall of Famer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sparked by left-hander Brian Cline and righty Hayden Allis, the North squad grabbed the lead after the Doubles event and didn\u2019t relinquish it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cline averaged an event record 254, winning three of his four matches en route to being named recipient of the Scott Wright Memorial Award. His high game was 295 in Doubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allis was recognized with the Joe Trigilio Memorial Award by winning all four of his matches, averaging 247 and leading all bowlers with 9.75 points. He becomes the first person to win the Scott Wright Memorial Award (2018 & 2022) and the Joe Trigilio Memorial Award (2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also for the North, Jim Foss averaged 240 and Garrett Gibson averaged 230 for the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other members of the winning North team were Ricky Mussell, Alex Allis, Jake Rosenbeck, John Ross, Tim Talbot, Andy Ritz, Roger Allis and Scott Gibson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scott Culp (230) and Steve O\u2019Dell (228) had the top averages for the South squad. Other members of that team were Brian Green, James Townsend, Geoff Harloff, Dave Montemarano Jr., Paul Bacon, Rick Underhill, Mike Johnson, Devon Leach, Gregg Wolff and Matt Balduf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next year, the event will likely be contested at Mancuso Bowling Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liz Kuhlkin of Schenectady, a three-time champion on the Professional Women\u2019s Bowling Association Tour and a New York State Queens Tournament champion, captured the national high average award in the women\u2019s division for the second straight season \u2013 averaging a lofty 246.39 over 120 games for 2024-25 in the Towne Mixed Doubles League at her hometown\u2019s Towne Bowling Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kuhlkin set the women\u2019s three-game series record (890) to win the National High Series Award during the 2016-2017 season and also is the owner of three youth awards for top average (2008-2009, 2009-2010 and 2010-2011).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
