Ft. Shafter  "Best 3 out of 4" . . . 

Our 9 Tap tournament returned to action at Ft. Shafter Lanes for the tour favorite format “Best 3 out of 4” and again provided our members with excitement and close scoring.   Ft. Shafter produced 83 entries; 17 cashers; paid out $6,035.00; and another 1st time Champion in Mike Naehu, earning Mike  $1,429.00 and a Tour Shirt.  It didn't come easy for Mike because there were many members still in the mix.  After the second squadMike led with a 810 and a narrow 32 pin lead over Reggie Caneda and a 34 pin lead over Randy Kaea-Cook. Randy and Reggie both  reentered the third squad and could not get any closer.  Jason Fujimoto put on a scoring spree to start the tourney firing a no tap 300 and a first squad lead of 769, short lived with Mike Naehu following.  Mike could not stay for the third squad because he was committed to the UH football game at Aloha Stadium.  Terrence Fukuda made a run at the title firing a no tap 300 in the last game of the 3rd squad but fell short, finishing with a 790 and second place.  Reggie Caneda came in 3rd place and Randy Kaea-Cook 4th place.  After quite a number of top finishes, Mike's perseverance paid off and wins his first title.  Mike says, "Thanks to Grace Toguchi for bringing so much energy and enthusiasm to bowling, that  I fed off of it".  He thanks Keith Odette of WLE (Waipahu Lawn and Equipment) for drilling his bowling equipment and his bowling buddies (Clint, Cheryl, Jason and Dennis) for their support and cheering.  Mike also says, "owning a ball spinner has improved his bowling considerably".
