DARCY MONROE BEATS THE KAMPF FAMILY!

Posted On: June 10, 2019

Meadow, NY: Darcy Monroe, E. Meadow, NY won his second LIGBT title by defeating 3 Kampf family members in the final shootout. Darcy shot a 248 to win the $1,000 top prize. Finishing in second was Justin Kampf with a 240 worth $500, 3rd went to his father Jack with a 235 worth $350, and 4th was taken by the youngest of the 3 Kampfs, Scott with a 225 worth $300. It was certainly an historic shootout.

The final shootout was 3 against 1 and to everyone’s surprise the loner won the match. All 3 Kampfs are accomplished bowlers and shot well all day. But Darcy wasn’t intimidated and started with 7 strikes out of his first 9 frames. Jack stayed close with a triple in the middle of the game and Justin was also close with 6 strikes in his first 9 frames. In fact if Justin or Jack doubled in the 10th they would have won. Justin threw the first one but left a 6 count on his second shot and Jack opened in the final frame to miss his title chance. Darcy was shocked holding the check and trophy.

The AMF E. Meadow event drew a great crowd of 117 entries, advanced 15 bowlers to the finals and cashed another 15 bowlers for $75 (better than 1 in 3.) The total prize fund paid out was $5,325. The cut scores on the Boardwalk pattern were; 632 & 648. High series of the tournament was shot by Justin Kampf, with a 795 in the 1pm squad. The wildcard winner was Darryl McDuffie, Floral Park, NY with a six game series of 1283. Two women also made the finals; Lisa Giglia, Howard Beach, NY and Emily Collazo, E. Meadow, NY.
