Wildcat Boys grab #1 seed for first time ever! LadyCats finish undefeated for 4th year in-a-row!

Posted by Mark Hubbuch on Jan 07 2009 at 04:00PM PST

Facing some of the toughest lane conditions we've ever had, and on a day when so many points were needed to reach our goal, the Wildcats came through with exactly what they had to - 23 points and a #1 seed in the District 10 Tourney next week!!!  With both Mt Juliet & the Wildcats finishing with identical 15-1 records, the next tie-breaker was total points won for the season.  And with our 23-4 win over Glencliff, WC & MJ finished tied in points with 338.5!! And so the next tie-breaker being total pinfall for the season, our boys win that by a few hundred pins!!!  Think about it for just a moment...16 matches, 27 points possible each match, and if we would have lost just one more point ANYWHERE in the season, this #1 seed would not be ours!!  INCREDIBLE!!  A very big CONGRATULATIONS to this Wildcat Boys team for completing the best regular season record yet at WC, and our first-ever #1 seeding!!  Fittingly, our scoring leader today was our only Senior - Krishna Patel with a 198 game & 530 series, and tying for high game was Geremy Roseti.  Again, I can't stress enough how TOUGH Cumberland Lanes played today - everyone struggled to find a shot AND to make their spares.  And yet we prevailed...this team truly has HEART!!  Way to go, Wildcats - now take it as far as you can in the post-season!!!!

Also, a huge WAY TO GO to our LadyCats for their FOURTH-STRAIGHT undefeated regular season, and for stretching "The Streak" to an incredible 64 straight regular season matches!!!  For those of you just tuning in, "The Streak" started in the 2004-05 season, when we were in District 7 instead of 10, and had to bowl at different centers against different teams!!  These LadyCats keep building and getting stronger every year, and after three trips to STATE in the past four years, maybe this year we can bring home THE BIG PRIZE!!  A lot of work to be done in the post-season, though.  Work hard, LadyCats....let's show everyone you can do it!!
