GIRLS
Coaches Alex Snowberger and Nick Arleqeeuw have led the Girls Bowling team through a very strong 2023-24 season. With a record of 13-2 the team has succeeded in almost all of their matches.
“It just so happens Perry was having super lucky carry with their lines and we were leaving splits left and right” Elena Hughes ‘24 said.
While a strong opposing performance can get into a player’s head and mess with their mindset, Hughes added the team loves the competition and continues to do perform their best through the whole match.
“I am close friends with several girls on that team and their coach, and I know they love playing us and feeling the same competition we do, no matter the end score,” Hughes said.
Last Sunday, the girls varsity team competed at sectionals where they ended up taking home first place, along with having junior Madison Perrine placing first overall. The Bulldogs never dropped out of first place after game two, and were the only team to bowl over 900 in their team games. The team travels to Lorain for the district tournament on Feb. 26th.
BOYS
The Boys Bowling team’s regular season officially ended with a record of 7-8 for varsity, and the inverse (8-7) for junior varsity. The last official match for the boys was Feb. 14 against Glenoak. There were some rough spots during the match, with not only physical but mental struggles affecting the team’s performance.
“It really doesn’t seem like it when you’re learning about it but mentality plays a big part in bowling” Noah Grissom ‘24 said.
One match that was especially difficult for the boys was Perry, which not only has a good Varsity but also JV team.
“I went to a varsity tournament this season and Perry brought their JV and Varsity team and their JV team placed 3rd in the whole tournament,” Grissom 24’ said.
Postseason matches started last Saturday with sectionals where the team placed 6th overall which put them two places aways from advancing to Districts. Grissom said players were sad to see the season come to the end with some hoping to continue their bowling career into college.
