MINNEAPOLIS – Taconic’s Luzis Brown made a furious run at qualifying for the second phase of the Junior Gold Championships but fell just less than four pins under the cut.
 
After 16 games in four days, Brown averaged a 199.75 in the event’s 16-and-under division.
 
The top 101 bowlers advanced after qualifying, and the cutline was 203.81.
 
Brown rolled 200 games in his last eight games on Wednesday and Thursday. 
 
On Thursday, he posted a 278 in his second of four games.
 
The next closest qualifier from the dozen Berkshire County athletes who made the trip to Minnesota was Devyn Fillio in the 16U girls.
 
Fillio rolled a 233 on Thursday to help push her average to 164.81. She placed 122nd in a 326-bowler field, but only 47 girls in the 16U division advanced to Friday’s play.
