    Lefty Anthony Neuer of Lewisburg captured the tournament title in 2019 at just 17 years old. He was the youngest bowler in the field of 108. He defeated Pepe in the championship match.

    Thomas Coco of Beacon, NY, won his first PBA East Region title in 2016. The left-handed boxer defeated PBA veteran Brad Angelo in the championship match.

    Two years later, Darren Andretta of Wantagh, NY, defeated Angelo to capture his second PBA East Region title.

    Rick Graham, a local favorite from Elizabethtown, won the tournament for his family in 2015, defeating Rusty Thomsen.
