Pepe Becomes First to Win Three Tournament of Champions!

  • Nov 26, 2017

Anthony Pepe became the first bowler in NEBA history to win three Tournament of Champions titles. Going into today, he was part of a group of four with accomplished this feat twice. Those four with years are Dick Millward (inaugural year of '93 & '95), RJ Broege ('08 & '09), Steve Blanchet ('01 & '14) & Anthony Pepe ('12 & '15). In the championship match, Pepe shot an amazing 565 for two games against '05 TofC Champion Chris Monroy.
