L: Darren Tang, R: Michael Tang

Pardon last week's absence. I spent the weekend seeing old friends and all of Sunday in San Jose at the Asian American Bowling Association Chinese New Year Tournament in San Jose.

Without further ado, San Francisco's Darren and Michael Tang are the latest young hotshots on the PBA Tour. Darren is with Storm, younger brother Michael is with Roto Grip.

At a recent visit to Storm Nation, PBA and Team USA bowler Chris Via is a little confused at giving PWBA bowler Leanne Hulsenberg at lunch the right kind of Tang.

Be sure to watch them in action on Sunday, March 25 on ESPN at 10 am Pacific Time (1 pm Eastern). Team Tang will bowl as the 5th seed at the Roth Holman PBA Doubles from my birthplace, Columbus, Ohio.

Today is the finals match of the 2013 USBC Queens Tournament. It is being taped today and will air on Sunday, September 8 on ESPN2 at 11:30 am PT/2:30 pm ET. I'll be bowling my very FIRST senior tournament during that time, so this is already programmed into my DVR.

This year's finalists have a great mix of backgrounds. The top 2 seeds are from Europe and Asia. The remaining 3 seeds are from places I call home, San Francisco Bay Area and Central Ohio.

1. Diana Zavjalova, Latvia, currently a bowler at Webber International University.
2. Shayna Ng, Singapore. I blogged about Shayna previously on May 20, 2013, where she won the 48th Annual Qubica AMF World Cup.
3. Leanne Barrette-Hulsenberg, 1999 USBC Queens Champion. San Francisco Bay Area native. I saw her bowl in a junior-adult tournament last year in Dublin, California.
4. Jennifer Petrick Higgins, 3-time member of Team USA and currently resides in Westerville, Ohio.
5. Lynda Barnes, 1998 USBC Queens Champion, San Francisco Bay Area native, bowled at San Jose State and married to PBA great Chris Barnes. 

Here's a video profiles of the finalists. Good luck to all.
