CHS Brings Home Hardware From Coca Cola Invitational

By Coach Godley

    Central High Bowling was represented well this past Saturday (2-1-14) at the 14th Annual Coca Cola LHSAA Invitational.  For the first time since the 2009 CHS Girls brought home a 3rd Place trophy (which is also the only time either the Boys or Girls finished in the Top 3), Central brought home two trophies to add to Central’s hallway of trophies.  The Girls duplicated the 2009 Girls by finishing 3rd behind Albany (718 series) and Holden (714 series).  The Girls rolled games of 129, 151, 133, 144 and 129 for a 686 series (137 average).  Not to be out done, the Boys in convincing fashion took home the 1st Place prize! The Boys had games of 212, 202, 162, 174 and 233 for a fantastic 983 series (196 average) and finished ahead of Barbe (968 series) and Vandebilt Catholic (964 series).  
    The Coca Cola LHSAA Invitational is a complete team event (structured after Collegiate Bowling) in which 5 bowlers combine to bowl each game.  One bowler bowls the 1st and 6th frames, another bowls the 2nd and 7th frames, then 3rd/8th, 4th/9th, and 5th/10th frames.  Saturday marked another step in the right direction for the future of Central Bowling.  Central’s coaches would like to thank all the parents, CHS students and CHS faculty that came out Saturday to cheer on the Wildcats!
