Pepsi Tournament will reside at the local and state levels according to USBC but there will no longer be a National Tournament. This makes Laura's trip to National's this year that much sweeter. One of the last bowlers from Oregon attending the Pepsi National Tournament will be from Albany, Oregon. WOW!!!!!!!!!!
UPDATES FROM DETROIT: Laura meets the coolest people at this events. Here is Laura with PBA member Brad Angelo. Been receiving text messages from our website reporter at the PEPSI Tournament. 2008 PEPSI USBC YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIPS

7.14.08 5:30pm EDT - Laura feeling a little better after the Official Practice Session still has some butterflies. Competition begins tomorrow morning. 7.14.08 12:30pm EDT - Laura is a little overwhelmed by the number of bowlers at the tournament and is a little stressed. The PEPSI scratch bowlers compete in the USBC Jr Gold Championships held at another center in the area so Laura is there with only one other bowler from Oregon.
GOOD LUCK LAURA AT THE NATIONAL TOURNAMENT
Laura Clair won the Oregon 2008 Pepsi USBC Youth Championships Girls 12 and Over Handicap Division. We are raising money to offset her expenses to travel to Detroit, MI in July to compete in the National Tournament. UPCOMING FUNDRAISING EVENTS THANK YOU Chris Breshears donated $100 for the cause. |
