News and Announcements

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!!
With a very balanced team effort, our LadyCats have done it - we are headed to the Final 8 at the State Tournament!!  Winning with surprising ease over Jackson Co. 21-6, the LadyCats were led by Brittany Turner with a 220 game, and Brittany Farmer with a 532 series.  After two years of unsuccessful trips to the "Sweet Sixteen," the ladies are now ready for a run at the State Title!!  It won't be easy, and it will take a total team effort - but these girls know how to turn it on when they need a win. 

The State Finals for our ladies will start next Friday, January 25th, at 9:00am at Smyrna Bowling Center.  To all of our fans out there...make plans to join us and cheer us on to more glory at the STATE!!  WAY TO GO, LADYCATS!!!

LADYCATS ARE REGION 5 CHAMPS!!

Posted by Mark Hubbuch at Jan 18, 2007 4:00PM PST ( 0 Comments )

For the 2nd year in a row, the Wilson Central LadyCats are Region 5 Champions!!  In the first round match on Tuesday, Amanda Moore rolled a 235 game to lead the LadyCats to an easy 18-9 victory over Hume-Fogg HS.  All the subs got to bowl game 3, as the starters rolled to a 270-pin lead after two games.  Then came Day 2...
In the semi-final match against Centennial HS, our LadyCats started very slowly.  Losing game one 6-2, things didn't look good.  But the ladies responded with a nice 948 game, and took 7 of 8 points to take a lead they would not relinquish.  Leading the way in this match was Amanda Moore again, with a nice 192-502.  Final score WC 19 - 8.  Now, the finals...
Against the McGavock Girls-undoubtedly our toughest opponent of the year (so far)-the LadyCats needed to have a good match - and proved that they were up to the challenge!  Led by Brittany Farmer & Amanda Moore's dual 202's in game 1, the ladies rolled a great 1,016 game and took 6 of 8 points to start the match.  They never looked back, winning the final 20-7!!  Farmer led with a 546 series, Amanda Moore with a 529, and Traci Baker with a 520, the girls rolled a 2,846 total.  A great performance even with Farmer battling a leg injury, and Jasmine Akers hurting her ankle in the semis, this one is a match these ladies will remember for a long time.   Now it is on to the Sectional event on Saturday, January 20th.
GO LADYCATS!!
