The first ever Individual State Bowling Tournament started today(Thursday) at Smyrna Lanes, and Wilson Central had 4 bowlers participate.  In the qualifying round for the boys, Sr. Jere McDaniel had the VERY hot hand as he lead all 66 boys with a super 971 series (4 games)!  Jere rolled games of 207-228-268-268 to storm to the lead.  Ryan Cox also qualified for round 2 with an 881 series (189-191-266-235), good for 7th place.  For the girls, Traci Baker qualified for the top 24 in 18th place with a nice 724 series (160-199-169-196), while Jr. Brittany Farmer was close, but fell just 13 pins short of the next round with a 668 series. 
     The next four games were bowled on a "Sport Lane Condition," where the lanes are oiled differently than usual, to put a premium on accuracy and spare shooting.  The scores were a lot lower, as expected, but one WC bowler prevailed and made it to the finals - Jere McDaniel qualified 4th for the Top 6 Finals tomorrow with a 1619 total (8 games) - a 202 average.  Ryan Cox just missed the finals, finishing in 9th place with a 1534.  For the girls, Traci Baker ended up in 22nd place for the tournament.  GOOD LUCK to Jere in the Finals!!
