WCHS Bowling Teams

Two years ago this week, the LadyCats of WC went into what was then "uncharted waters" as they made it to the State Final Match by way of an extremely close, exciting win over Soddy-Daisy 14-13.  Could they do it again today against the defending State Champion Hendersonville Lady Commandos?  The answer is YES!!  By an identical 14-13 score, our LadyCats fought & clawed their way through the match, winning key points when needed, and even though we lost total pins 3270-3297, had enough points to take the victory!! 

Game 1 was a great one for the ladies.  With a very balanced team effort, they won 1122-1109 and took 4 of 6 individual points for a 6-2 lead in the match.  Fr. Brittany Sisco came thru HUGE with a 195-193 win over Megan Ditterline, and Dani Chaffin also held on to win her point 193-187 over Christina D'Ordine, this year's Girls Div I Individual State Champion!!  Game 2 saw us roll another good game with a 1094, but their 1137 was better and they evened the match at 8-8. Brennan Page soared to a beautiful 255 game, and Kaitlin Page's 202 won our only other point that game.  The 3rd & final game was very close throughout, and with the pressure mounting, no one rolled over a 200 game!  In the 2nd frame, Laurel Everett had a lucky break which would later prove to be huge - she left the "Big 4" split and MADE IT!!  Congrats, Laurel!!  As the game moved on, our ladies took a sizable lead.  But as good teams do, the H'ville girls started striking and our lead slimmed quickly.  This time, our girls finished with a 1054 game and waited for their last two bowlers to finish.  Christy King needed to get 9 pins for a tie, or a strike to win, on her last shot in the 10th frame.  She only hit 8 pins down, giving that point to Brennan Page 180-179!! Then Christina D'Ordine stepped up in the 10th with a chance to win the game for the Lady Commandos.  She picked up her spare, needing a strike on her last ball to win the game at 1055.  Even a 9-count gives their team a tie at 1054 and the final point needed for the win.  She only knocked down 6 pins...WE WIN!!  It is very hard to sit and watch, not being able to control your own fate, but, as fate would have it this time, our girls win and move on to the STATE FINALS MATCH!! 

Here is the recap of the match:
