I've bowled 5-6 regional events, and I've never been reasonably close to cashing. I was in fifth place on my squad through five games once, and I finished a small plus another time. That's it for me. For this kid to be competitive like that at age 12 is awesome. Like a few others have said, it's good to see a kid who would rather be out somewhere doing something active rather then sitting around watching TV or playing Wii bowling. Good job, Kameron!

I must admit, what this kid has done is a feet. I really hope his parents don't try to jump on and ride him downhill and burn his game out because I have seen it done to a few of my friends. I am not trying to bash him or anything but it is a regional competition. When Jake Peters was 18 he finished around 24th at the Masters, and just a few years ago Andrew Koff was leading most of qualifying at the Open. This kid obviously has a great amount of talent, but how could he compare to what those two did at their ages? I really hope this kid keeps his game under his feet and doesn't think with the success he has had that his game will always be the best. I would like to say congratulations and good luck in the future Kamron.

Kudos to his parents for giving him the opportunities to accel.

Not many parents are committed to getting their kid to and from the lanes weekly for a league, let alone enough to get them to a high enough level, as well as taking on the finances of equipment at the highest level, and entry fees.

He's got alot of talent, but he'ld be nowhere if they weren't fostering his growth

i personally don't think anyone can take a thing away from this kid if you try your just a really jealous plain and simple he could obviously beat most of us and must really land a punch to the gut of your house hack's who tried and never even came close to cashing in a regional. i myself tried and saw its alot harder than i thought and to see a 12 year old surpass what i will possibly ever do kudos to him he may very well be the future of bowling.
