WCHS Bowling Teams

What an incredible, exciting afternoon of High School Bowling was had today at Hermitage Lanes!!  The Wildcat Bowlers "scratched and clawed" through their matches today and at the end came out WINNERS!! 

The Wildcats won their most dramatic victory yet with a roller-coaster, nail-biting, wild finish in game three - slipping past the Mt Juliet Bears by only 3 pins, winning 3709 - 3706 and match points 14 - 13!!  For 12 bowlers to roll 3 games and it come down to the final bowler, well...it simply can't get much more exciting!!  Seth Carey stepped up in the 10th frame needing two strikes & 7 pins for us to take the win, and he did it!!  With two beautifully rolled strikes, and a 9-count on the final shot, Seth sealed our victory!!  Equally as important that game, Fr. Spencer Harp needed to get a double & nine to win his point, or Seth's chance would have never come...and Mr. Harp did just that, winning his point 248-247!  The guys started off in game 1 like they were going to run away with the match, winning 6-2 with a 1292 - 1187 start.  But game 2 we had a small letdown, with JR Clemons' 254 game as our only 200+ game, we lost that one by 47 pins.  Still up 9-7 in points, and by 58 pins total, we should have been in control.  But Mt Juliet did what they ALWAYS do - they kept on striking!  After 7 or 8 frames, it really looked like our guys were done.  But they kept clawing, got a little help from the other side, and finished with a win!!  Heroes were all around today - team leader JR Clemons again led the way with a super 254-723; Seth Carey rolled 237-652; Spencer Harp had 248-629; Geremy Roseti shot 230-607; Krishna Patel 200; and super sub Fr. Eric Lane, who came in during that important third game and shot 44 pins over his average with a great 199 game!  What can we say, Wildcats...you guys were AWESOME!!

Not to be out-done, the LadyCats continued their record-setting, winning ways.  With a school record 1181 in game 1, the ladies also got off to a great 6-2 start.  But they too had a little "letdown" in game 2, losing it 990-977.  Still, up by a 9-7 score and +69 pins in total, we were in control of our destiny.  And our 61st consecutive regular-season win was the result, as the ladies won game 3 by 80 pins!  Their 17-10 win was a great victory over a very improved Lady Bears team, who rolled their own high series of the season with a 3051.  Our 3200 series was the third time in the past four matches the LadyCats have bettered 3200 total pins.  Individual stars today were:  Brennan Page with a 230-624; Kirstin Page with her high game & series of the season, 221-611; Fr. Brittany Sisco with her new high game of 208!; and, Dani Chaffin with a 202.  WAY TO GO, LadyCats!!
