He won the George Young High Average Award, scoring at a 228.81 pace over 422 games, and the Harry Smith Point Leader Award

with 238,903 points.

Ive taken a lot of criticism but Im a firm believer in pinning your ears back and going for your dreams. Belmonte, who owns seven career titles, captured Harry Golden Rookie of the Year honors after winning his first title during the 2008-09 season. This is an honor every player wants to win but something you can never plan for, Belmonte added. Theres no deadline to achieve it, only a massive bonus for your career if you do.

Ryan Shafer Wins Second PBA Steve Nagy Sportsmanship Award

By Bill Vint - PBA

SEATTLE Ryan Shafer of Horseheads, N.Y., has been selected by his fellow Professional Bowlers Association members as winner of the 201213 Steve Nagy Sportsmanship Award. Shafer, a 47-year-old who has won four titles in a 27-year PBA Tour career, has been a champion for underdogs on the PBA Tour for years, encouraging non-winners to continue their quests for a title, because he understands how difficult it is to win against the greatest players in the world. Shafers personal challenges have been complicated because he has bowled his entire career while combating diabetes. Recently he has served as a spokesman for Animas Corp., a company that makes the insulin pump that has made it easier for him to live a normal life. Winning the Steve Nagy Award has always been important to me because it shows the respect of your peers as a sportsman and someone who cares about them, Shafer said via e-mail. I have been through a lot this past week, so its hard for me to be happy today about winning. I know the other candidates

were very deserving. In time, I hope I can reflect and enjoy the fact my fellow players think so highly of me. Its just tough to do that at this moment. Eugene McCune of Munster, Ind., Shafers closest friend and a fellow PBA Tour competitor, accepted the award on Shafers behalf during ceremonies Friday at Thunderbowl Lanes in Allen Park, Mich., where the Barbasol PBA Tournament of Champions gets underway Saturday. I want to thank my roommate and one of my best friends in the world, Eugene McCune, for accepting on my behalf, Shafer said. My wife Michelle and Eugene were good friends. Its only right he accept for me because she loved him as a friend as much as I do. Others who received votes in the Nagy balloting were: Patrick Allen, Dom Barrett, Kenneth Bland Jr., Parker Bohn III, Nathan Bohr, Ryan Ciminelli, Mike Edwards, Andres Gomez, Steve Jaros and Kelly Kulick. Established in 1966, the Steve Nagy Sportsmanship Award is named after the late PBA Hall of Famer and founding members of the PBA. A colorful and talented

performer, Nagy made such an impact on his fellow pros that the award was established shortly after his death. Hall of Famer Johnny Guenther won the first Nagy.
