2025 - MATT STRIKES BACK

2025 team champions

to represent and support the underlying purpose of the tournament.

 

We're thankful that so many continue to help the Tomsus honor Matt's dad, and now Matt, and the many others who are affected by this horrible disease.

 

We also want to give a big shout-out to Mockingbird Lanes, its amazing staff, and all of the tournament volunteers for ensuring everything ran smoothly. We can’t wait to see everyone again next year when Matt returns to the lanes!

The fight against cancer became even more personal this year.  Tournament host Matt Tomsu received a cancer diagnosis just before his induction into the Nebraska USBC Hall of Fame this summer.  Matt is determined to win this battle, and though he didn't bowl, he was present

The 15th version of the Tomsu team tournament turned out to be a very exciting, high scoring, event.  

Keeping with the theme of the day, the championship match came down to the final frame. PBA touring pro, and 2018 Tomsu Memorial champ, Mitch Hupé, stepped up in the tenth needing to add two more strikes in the tenth to his string.  Mitch delivered and sealed the victory 932 - 924 over Team Mason.

The 2025 Joe Tomsu Memorial has officially wrapped up at Mockingbird Lanes in Omaha, NE, and what an incredible event it was! With several ties during the match play portion of the event, we saw some thrilling extra games that kept everyone on the edge of their seats.

 

Huge congratulations to our champions, Tony Manna Jr., a six-time Team USA member from Omaha, and Zach Wilkins, a Team Canada and PBA touring professional from Kansas City, who took down Chris Martinez and Blake Evans, from Fort Collins and Omaha, respectively, in the final match.  It was Tony's third win the tournament and the first for Zach.
