Tennessee boy, 12, earns $400 in bowling event

[Auggie]

ESPN.com / May 11, 2010

A 12-year-old boy has become the youngest bowler to earn money at a Professional Bowlers Association event -- but he can't spend that cash right away.

Kamron Doyle of Brentwood, Tenn., finished 30th in the PBA's Canton (Ga.) Open Regional tournament Sunday, receiving $400 that will be deposited into a scholarship account.

Bowling as a non-PBA member, he had a 2,797 13-game pinfall total for a 215.1 average. The sixth-grader was competing against a 94-player field that included some of the top regional and national tour professional players from the organization's South region.

He was already the youngest bowler to roll a United States Bowling Congress-certified 800 series. He became interested in the sport when he attended a friend's bowling birthday party at the age of 7.

Because it's a slow :boring: day here

Still, a 215.1 average for a 12-year old is damn good

1. Yeah, it is a slow day.

No threads about Cougars beating Beavers.

:evilgrin:

2. Wasn't that "pounding"?

Todays' slow day is about to speed up -- for me anyhow. Celtics versus Cavs starts now. Giants versus Padres later.

Mrs. Auggie has promised to be a good sport about it too.

3. Everytime I type that it vaporizes...

BTW, Upton is going to be a good sport about it??

I thought he hated both the C's and Cavs.

:D

4. I can't understand how anyone could hate a team from Cleveland...

unless they were from Cleveland.

5. I lived my first 22 years in NW Ohio, and Cleveland was hated

in my part of the state. Of course they were all Pete Rose fans! :rofl:
