CHS Bowling Hangs Tough against Catholic

By  | 

Submitted by Coach Godley

In the final scrimmage before the high bowling season kicks off with jamborees all around Baton Rouge on Wednesday and Thursday, Catholic defeated Central 17-10.  One major reason for the defeat was the fact that Central bowled out numbered due to a minor injury to last year’s anchor, Jacob Garretson (Sophomore). 

                Game 1 was dominated by the Bears as they swept all the points to take an 8-0 lead (938-706 Total Pins).  Last year’s 5A MVP, Curtis Westmoland of Catholic, led all bowlers with a 199.  Central’s lone bright spot was from Jonathan Ryder (Freshman) with a 164.  Game 2 went a little better for Central but the defending District-5A Champions proved to be too much without a complete lineup.  Catholic would take Game 2 5-3 (889-712 Total Pins) and was once again led by Westmoland with a 257.

                With the scrimmage all but over and the Bears up 13-3, Catholic would remove Westmoland from their lineup and that’s when Central showed what they could do.  Central would sweep all possible points from Catholic and win Game 3 7-1 (853-735 Total Pins).  The last game’s high game was from Sean Murphy (Junior) with a 202, followed by Bryan Waites (Senior & Captain) with a 201 and a 194 from Kevin Kennedy (Junior).

                Central overall was led by both Waites and Murphy with a 496 series and followed closely behind by Kennedy’s 494.  With about one week left until the bowling season officially begins, Central will have one last tune-up and try to build some important momentum for the regular season, and participate in a Jamboree on Wednesday (1-16-13) at All Star Lanes (3:15PM) against Holden, Tara and Denham High.
