The San Joaquin Travel League began with its first meet at McHenry Bowl last Sunday. The elite league is made up of some of the highest-average youth bowlers in Northern California and is divided into three divisions.

Team members include Seth Jaggers, Kyle Simi, Erik Haines, Phillip Graham and Travis Blansit. McHenry Red holds a close second with 27 points. Sarah Cowan, David Graham, Anthony Firpo, Donney Marquardt and Nathan Fiske round out the lineup. David Graham rolled the high game for boys with his 288. Kathelynn Goddard of Granada Bowl in Livermore and Julie Scheaffer of Manteca Bowl each shot a 214 game and shared the high girls game.

Granada Bowl controlled the Major Classic Division, finishing first and second. Granada No. 2 earned 24 points to take the lead with Austin Stuber, Shawn Donohue, Brandon Kline-Felton, Michael Bumanlag and Andy Madding. One point out in second is Granada No. 3 with 23 points. Payton Giambrone, Riely Chin, Alex Stuber, Vincent Salinas Piper and Ashton Laine make up the team. Bumanlag scored the boys' high game with a nice 290.
