How did you first become interested in bowling?

Well, I have two older sisters who bowled and as I watched them bowl in high school I thought what it would be like to try it and I fell in love with bowling.

 

How would you describe your season so far?

I could say [this] was the best season I have had over my four years of being here.

 

Do you plan to continue bowling after high school?

Yes, I will be attending Cowley Community College

 

What advice would give to the underclassmen on the bowling team?

I would say to always keep an open mind. Even if you have a bad day you can always work yourself into an easy game and it’s easy.
