Morris County USBC Youth Bowling Association Annual Awards and Scholarship Dinner
Including 16 Hall of Fame Inductions
By Joan Taylor
MONTAIN LAKES, NJ - Zeris Inn was the site of the 2017
Morris County USBC Youth Bowling Association annual
awards and scholarship dinner, as well as 16 Hall of Fame
inductions.
The three county bowling associations (BA, WBA and
Youth) have to merge in 2018 (as ordered by the United States
Bowling Congress), so this was our last opportunity to cele-
brate a youth-only banquet, said banquet chairperson, Vicky
Dodd. Also, we havent inducted anyone in our Hall of Fame
for three years, so it was time. This was a great opportunity for
us to honor former youth bowlers, association officers, and
others who have served young bowlers in some way.
Past Youth for Superior Performance inducted into this
years Youth Association Hall of Fame were: Liesl (DiRocco)
Apgar, Karen S. Dodd, Liz (Christensen Huff), and Peter
Madden.
Four Industry Partners were then inducted. David G.
Kinney, Sr., created the New York New Jersey Junior Gold
Traveling League. In turn, the league has had several mem-
bers go on to the national Junior Gold tournaments. Richard
Mark is the proprietor of Rockaway Lanes, having served the
industry in many capacities over the years. The center, in
addition to providing youth bowling leagues, hosts the annu-

youth achieve their maximum potential, some of whom have
become successful collegiate bowlers. Anthony Parisi has
been coaching young bowlers since 1993. In 2013, he was
inducted into the Morris County USBC BA Hall of Fame for
his own bowling achievement. However, his passion is
exemplified through his work with the area youth programs,
currently at Hanover Lanes. Sports Reporter Contributing
Writer Joan Taylor (Schliewenz) was inducted into her third
county hall for her excellence in journalism for our sport
and support to the youth of Morris County.
In the Superior Performance category for Current Youth,
inductees were Jack Cook, Jenna Henderson, Sarah Rhodes
and Zachary Vitelli.
In the final category, Meritorious Service inductees were:
Richard Cron (current Sargeant-at-Arms), Vicky J. Dodd
(certified coach and served on the youth board, continually
volunteers and chairs the annual banquet), the late Norman
Buddy Cutler (coached youth bowlers at Sparta Lanes and
gave private and group bowling lessons) and Elaine R.
Wilson (youth association manager).
Another highlight of the evening was the awarding of the
2017 Emma P. Hendrickson Scholarships. First winner was
Jenna Henderson, a senior at Warren Hills Regional High
5
School. Among her academic honors, she has a GPA of 3.85
and has been on the honor roll all 4 years of high school. She
is also a Peer Leader and member of the Student Council. In
her sport, she has been bowling for 12 years and finished the
current season with a 215 average. She has won All Events in
the annual Edith A. Kinney Championship tournament for
four consecutive years, starting in 2014. Jenna continues to
give back to bowling, working with juniors at Oakwood
Lanes. She will attend Fairleigh Dickinson University in the
fall and plans to bowl as a collegian.
The second scholarship winner was Shaelyn Shadwell. She
is a junior at Sussex County Technical School with a GPA of
4.10. She has been on the High Honor Roll for 3 consecutive
years, along with membership in the National Society of
High School Scholars and has won the WLTI Statesman
Award. She is captain of her schools Girls Varsity bowling
team and served as co-captain of the Girls Tech Tournament
Team.
Additionally, 128 trophies, plaques or certificates were
given to the youth bowlers who won tournaments or achieved
other honors including high game, series or average in their
age division.
Approximately 180 people attended the annual event,
including honorees, coaches, friends and families.
