The location of the 33rd Queen's Tournament will be at
Linn Lanes in Lebanon in April. The new tournament manager will be
Gary Davis of Bend.
5 April 2008 Twenty
three ladies traveled over the mountain, in snow, and joined three ladies
from the Bend area to bowl the 32nd Oregon State Queens on April 5th at Lava
Lanes. The format was changed for the smaller number
of entrants to an 8 game qualifying and then we went right into the head to
head matches, so the tournament was over on Saturday.
Kathy Tribbey, Dundee, was the high qualifier with a 1670 for the 8 games,
followed by Bonnie Cox, La Pine, with 1538. To make
the cut to the final 16 a 169 average was needed. In
the first head to head match, Kathy Tribbey bowled Natalie Cardoza and won
with a 213 to 190. Kathy's next opponent was Kelly DeLisle, Grants
Pass, which Kelly won with a 213-202. This put Kathy in the losing
bracket with one loss. In the third match Kathy bowled Penny Fentiman,
Lebanon, and won 244-219, giving Penny her 2nd loss.
Lyn Randall, Roseburg, was Kathy's 4th match and she won 237-215, which was
Lyn's 2nd loss. The 5th match against Yolanda Hagues, Springfield, was
again won by Kathy 189-172. All was quiet as Pattie
Cochran and Kathy bowled to see who would be in the roll off for Queen
against Kelly DeLisle, Grant's Pass, but again Kathy had the higher score
224 to Pattie's 219. As Kathy was coming thru the head
to head matches, Kelly DeLisle who had qualified 7th and averaged 186 was
undefeated and ready to roll the final match. Kelly
had bowled against Lela Larkin, Medford, in her 3rd game and came on strong
with a 268-194. In the 4th match in the winning bracket she was up
against Debbie Baerman, Merlin, in which Kelly was rolling them smooth with
a 254-177 win. This brought her to wait in the wings with 2 byes.
Everyone was anxious for the final match with Kelly and Kathy and as
always all was quiet for the final match. Kathy rolled a 258-223,
giving Kelly her first loss, so that meant another game, until one of them
had 2 losses. Kelly came out striking as did Kathy,
with the ending score 269 for Kelly to 259 for Kathy.
This was Kelly's 4th time bowling in the Queens.
Bonnie Cox, last year's Queen crowned Kelly. A Big
Thank You to all who bowled the tournament and to Lava Lanes for inviting
us. Thanks also to the Bend USBC for providing the 3 hours of free

tournament. Thank you to Sandi Davis of Bend for putting together the
bag with waters, apples, granola bars and other goodies for the entrants.
Another big Thank You goes to the Spouses, Boyfriends, Parents and Family
