Submitted by Coach Godley
Central High finished their preseason with a convincing victory, a 4-Team Jamboree consisting of Central, Holden, Tara and Denham Springs this past Wednesday (1-16-13). In the opening matches (2 games), Central cruised easily by defeating Holden 16-0, while Denham defeated Tara.
Against Holden, Central was led by Jacob Garretson (Sophomore) with games of 235 & 224 for an outstanding 2-game series of 459. Garretson was followed by Sean Murphy (Junior) with a 216 & 210 for a 426 series and Bryan Waits (Senior) with a 180 & 236 for a 416 series. Central also crushed Holden in Total Pins by nearly doubling Holden’s total, 2191-1129. In fact if Wednesday was the regular season, Central’s second game would have set a school record with an 1155 team game.
In the Jamboree Finals, Central cruised to victory by defeating Denham Springs 7-1. Central was once again lead by Garretson with a 211, followed by Murphy with a 203 and Waites with a 188. As a team, Central would defeat Denham Springs in Total Pins 1061 to 978. Central’s three game total of 3252 would have been another school record by over 100 pins for team series.
Last year Central relied heavily on their 1-2 Punch of Garretson and Waites, but this year they welcome a much improved bowler in Murphy. The trio of Garretson, Waites and Murphy are arguably the best trio in this year’s District-5A and without a doubt could be the most talented team Central has ever fielded. Central’s quest for a first ever district title starts on January 28th (Monday) against Woodlawn and then against Baton Rouge High on January 30th (Wednesday). Both matches will be held at All Star Lanes at 3:15PM. Come support your Wildcats!
