The tournament honors a local bowler who died in a car accident in 2021.
SCRANTON, Pa. — A memorial bowling tournament is underway today in Lackawanna County.
‘The Friends of Phil’ hosted its 4th annual ‘Phil Joe’s Memorial Youth Scholarship Tournament at Valley Lanes in Carbondale…
The event awards scholarships in honor of 56-year-old Phillip Jones, an avid bowler from Scranton.
Jones lost his life to a car accident back in 2021.
“They’ve competed against 90 other bowlers from the surrounding states, so getting to this point in the competition is truly remarkable for them. There’s a lot of college scholarship money on the line, and there’s a lot of lessons to be learned, but this right here is the future of bowling,” said Tournament Director Cindy Grabowski.
Congratulations to Gregory Masters, Liam Mulea, and Peyton Schley for winning their age divisions and being this year’s Memorial Youth Tournament winners.
