CHS Girls and Boys Bowling Take on St. Amant
#5 CENTRAL BOYS BOWLING UPSET BY ST AMANT
In the latest Power Rankings poll, Central Boys Bowling (8-2) came into their match against St Amant (6-5) ranked 5th in the state. After the match this past Monday (3-17-14), Central will probably fall a couple spots. Central rolled their second lowest series of the season and an inspired St Amant team rolled their highest series of the season to pull off the huge upset. St Amant would win by a close 15-12, even though Central won the Total Pin battle 3092-3067. St Amant took control of the match from the beginning by winning Game 1 7-1 and 1049-997. Jacob Garretson (Junior/Captain) kept Total Pins close by rolling a 237 and winning Central’s only point. Central rallied in Game 2 and won 6-2 and 1095-986. Parker Aucoin (Freshman) would lead the way with a 214 and followed by Garretson’s 203. Unfortunately the momentum from Game 2 didn’t carry over and St Amant would win Game 3 6-2 and 1032-1000. Sean Murphy (Senior) was high with a 192. Garretson led the Wildcats with a 607 series, followed by Aucoin’s 577 and Murphy’s 557. Robbie Villenurve led St Amant with a 594 (225).
In the end, the 15-12 loss snaps Central’s 8-game winning streak and leaves Central one final opportunity to get back on track before the State Playoffs next week. On Wednesday (3-19-14) at All Star Lanes (3:15pm), Central takes on Albany (6-3) in a match between District Champions (Albany won the Hammond District). Come support your Wildcats!
