That is, if he can build on the south-west Ontario titie he secured in Brantford Ibis past spring at Thursday's Canadian 5-Pin Bowling Charnpionships in Calgary. With the nationals just recently picked up by TSN, Milton's 35- year-old bowling ace was given jusî three weeks notice for the event - certainly not much lead tirne for sorneone traveling halfway across the country. "I'm kind of jittery," admits Agozzino. Nerves aside, the local bowler has been playing fairly well as of late in bis surrmer league in nearby Brampton. And he doesn't head into this week's competition as a national- level rookie, having taken fourth- place honours four years ago at a skins-format charnpionship in That's a rather talI order, given that he's only seeded seventh in the 16-player men's open stepladder showcase - and wilI have to take on the top ranked defending champ Lonny Akers of Saskatchewan in thse second round if he wins an ini- tial challenge over northern Ontario's Pete Chenier. "lt's single elimination, s0 the pressure's on right frorn the stan," he explained. But Agozzmno's nu stranger to coming through in the clutch. At the provincials he eked out a narrow 13-point decision over hometown favourite Justin Kosvac to take top honours. He's shone in tean play recentîy as well, having helped a six-player contingent from I-lton and Peel regions to Ontario bronze in the spring. Agozzino's bowling success shouldn't corne as rnuch of a sur- "1've had sorne good coaches and pretty rnuch took to it night away, alshough as a kid I only won a few zone charnpionships and things like that," he said. "My real success only came later." While not exactly favoured to medal on Calgary Thursday, Agozzino bas been known to enjoy some red-hoî streaks that make hirn awfully difficult to upstage. "When I was 18 at the Four Steps to Sîardom in Hamilton a coach told me to stop horsing around and 1 proceeded to reel off Il strikes in a row," he recalled. Thursday's nationals isn't sched- uled to air until January, and that means no summuer clothing for Agozzino antd bis fellow competi- tors. "We've been told nos to, wear shorts," he quipped.
