Bash #3 - LadyCats storm back to defeat Hardin County; Wildcats fall 7.5-19.5
The LadyCats have been to the State Tournament four times. Twice the Runner-Up. And 3 of the 4 trips have ended in defeat to the Lady Tigers of Hardin County. Revenge wasn't a word even mentioned, but a victory over Hardin Co would certainly make everyone "feel good." And even with a slow start, that is exactly what we got! Down 6-10 in points, but up by 31 pins after two games, the ladies had an "epic" battle in game 3, with the lead going back and forth all game long. And in the end, two of our younger players would be the difference, as we won game 3 1082-1067 and took the match 14-13!! Sophomores Brittany Sisco & Elizabeth Callas led our ladies to this win, with Brittany having high game for the third-straight match with a nice 212 in game 3; and Elizabeth won all 3 of her points on games of 185-202-175 for a great 562 series!! Kirstin Page also tied Brit for high game with a 212, and Brennan Page tied Elizabeth for series as well. Making the win even sweeter was the fact that Hardin Co rolled all six of their starters the entire match, while we played all nine bowlers who attended the Bash! And, winning in THEIR house was nice as well. Way to bounce back from the loss, ladies. Is this the beginning of a new "Streak?"
The Wildcats didn't fare as well against Hardin Co in their house. While they bowled their high team series of the day with a 3389, it was no match for the Tigers as they rolled a 3559 and cruised to a 19.5 - 7.5 victory. JR Clemons certainly did his part, as he finished with a season-high 279 game & a 668 series. Geremy Roseti also did well again with a 224-609 total. Both teams finish the weekend 2-1 at the Bash....a very nice outing indeed!
Wildcat boys come from behind for win; LadyCats roll on over Lebanon
Match #2 for the season quickly became an import match in the District, as a much-improved Lebanon Boys' team was looking for a sweep of Wilson Co rivals after knocking off Mt. Juliet on Tuesday. They won that match easily 25.5-1.5. Coach Mark knew we had a battle, and neither team disappointed! Led by a super 696 series by JR Clemons, the Wildcat boys came back from a 2-6 deficit in game 1 to win by a final 18-9 margin! JR also had high game for the day with a great 256 in game 2, which led us to an 1186 team game & a 6-2 game win. Now even at 8-8 after 2 games, our boys pulled away at the end of game 3 for the decisive game. Total pinfall was 3500-3357. Other good boys scores were: Chris Branner with a super 241 start; Ryan Peplinski with a 197-221 off the bench (nice!); and Spencer Harp with a 215 game. Way to go, 'cats!!
The LadyCats easily rolled in the match at ProBowl West, winning 22-5 over the Lady BlueDevils. Laurel Everett led our ladies today with a consistent 189-537. no 200+ games today, but another win anyway!! "The Streak" now stands at 66 straight regular season wins. Keep it up, LadyCats!!
New season? Same LadyCats - Record-Breaking winners! Wildcats start strong, too
Last year was known as the "Record-breaking" season for the LadyCats, as team records fell with regularity all season long. With all six starters returning, could we expect the same results? Our answer came today - YES! Sr. Brennan Page rolled games of 277-256-234 for a SCHOOL RECORD 767 series!!! This breaks a six-year old record, held previously by Alisa Aldridge with a 760. Rolling a total of 26 strikes in her set, with 12 in-a-row at one point, Brennan was like a machine!! The LadyCats followed Brennan's lead, and soared to their first 1200+ game in game 2 with an awesome 1228!!! Rolling 8 200+ games today, the LadyCats team total of 3344 was more than enough for a 25-2 victory over a very young Friendship Christian team. Other great scores today: Kirstin Page with a 213-591; Dani Chaffin with a 203 & 212; & Brittany Sisco, a nice 201 game. "The Streak" is still intact, now at 65 regular season wins! WAY TO GO, LADYCATS!!
The Wildcats also started very well, with our 6 starters all bowling games 1 & 2, and all 6 set averages of 190+, as they easily defeated Friendship Christian 23-4. High game was Jr. Chris Branner with a 235. Other good scores were: Seth Carey with a 206 & 231; JR Clemons with 228 & 205; Geremy Roseti, a nice 234 game; & Sr. Scotty Probasco with a 211! While the boys did not break records today, it was very nice to see the consistent, good scores they rolled. GO 'CATS!!

Central bowlers kick-off season with the HS Jamboree
Saturday was the "kick-off" to our season in the 7th Annual HS Jamboree, hosted by Mt Juliet High at Hermitage Lanes. It is always a fun way to start the year, and this year WC put two teams of Boys & two teams of Girls in the event! With an unusually small turnout, there were 9 teams of Boys and 7 teams of Girls total.
The Boys led off at 11am, and our guys bowled OK. Our first team was led by Sr. JR Clemons, who bowled a nice 254-697, with the 697 good for 2nd place in individuals. The first team was balanced with games of 983-1022-1024, totaling 3029. Steady, but not enough to win as the guys finished 3rd. Hardin Co. took first again this year with a 3127 series. Other good scores from our boys were Chris Branner with a 620 series; Scotty Probasco with a 226 game for the second team; & Spencer Harp with a 220 game. Hendersonville's Ryan Youngblood took individual honors with a super 278-736. Congrats!
The LadyCats' teams started off pretty strong in game 1, with the first team rolling an 889, and the 2nd team a 793 game. The first team then put together a nice 933 in game 2, but with the lanes REALLY dry by game 3, faltered to a 760 for a 2582 total, good for 3rd place - 31 pins behind Hendersonville's girls who finished 1st. The 933 game did hang on for our FIRST EVER team award in the Jamboree, GIRLS TEAM HIGH GAME!! Also, a huge part of the reason they earned that was Jr. Kirstin Page, who led individually with a great 233 game & 604 series!! Great bowling, Kirstin!! And CONGRATS to the the ladies on the first team for their team award - Dani Chaffin, Brittany Sisco, Katlin Page, & Brennan Page joined Kirstin on this team.
