By Coach Godley
Central High (9-0) on Monday (3-11-13) steamrolled Denham Springs (6-4) to maintain their two game lead on Scotlandville in the District 5A standings and extended their the school record winning streak (regular season) to 9 matches. But that wouldn’t be the only new school records that the Wildcats would roll on Monday.
Central would come out striking in Game 1 and demolish Denham Springs. In fact, earlier this season Central set a new school game record of 1150 against the Yellow Jackets and on Monday the Wildcats upped that record to a 1202! The new Central high game would lead to a 7-1 advantage and almost a 200 pin lead in Total Pins (1202-1013). Game 1 was a complete team effort and had contributions from every member in the line-up. Led by Jacob Garretson’s (Sophomore) 258, Sean Murphy (Junior) with a 224 (which included the front 6), Bryan Waites (Senior & Captain) with a 206, Haley Young’s (Sophomore) 202 and Sarah Leduff (Freshman) with a 190, Central would cruise to the school record. Denham Springs would try to get back into the match with a strong Game 2, but they ultimately fell again to Central, 1027-1010. Central would win Game 2 by a 5-3 margin in what turned out to be a very close game. The Wildcats would need some late strikes to seal the second game. Trailing by a few pins in the 10th Frame, both Garretson and Young would strike-out to help the Wildcats take a 12-4 lead. Murphy would lead all Wildcats in scoring with a 188.
Central closed out Denham Springs in Game 3 by winning 5-3 and 985-939 in Total Pins. The 985 also put the finishing touches on a new school series record with a 3214 (against Denham’s 2962).
