by Leave a Comment

2018 Champions & Runner-Ups. L to R: Scratch Division Runner-Up & Champion, Harris Mirza and Francis Vitelli, Handicap Division Champion & Runner-Up, Mariano Mitchell and Joseph LaBarbera

Rab’s Junior Masters Tournament returned in 2018 for its 17th Installment.  Top youth bowlers from the area competed for the elusive titles and $4,800 in scholarship awards.

Francis Vitelli captured the Scratch Division Title for his second Junior Masters Title.  His first came in 2012 in the Handicap Division.

Francis made his way through the Winners Bracket, where he met Harris Mirza in the Finale.   As the winner of the Non-Winners Bracket, Harris needed to defeat Francis twice in the final match to claim the title.

In a nail-biter, down to the 10th frame match, Mirza defeated Vitelli 280 to 269, forcing one more match.  After another amazing show, Vitelli came out victorious defeating Mirza 247 to 231.

In the Handicap Division, a first time experience for both Joseph LaBarbera and Mariano Mitchell, Mitchell defeated LaBarbera 215 to 203 in the final game.  As the winner of the Non-Winners Bracket, LaBarbera forced  a second game after he won the first game 201 to 185.
