Central High (3-0) on Monday (2-4-13) bowled like a team that is ready to make a serious run at the 5A District championship. The Wildcats grinded out a 16-11 victory over Denham Springs (3-1) to stand on top of the 5A District by themselves. Never before has the Central Bowling Team been alone in first at any point of the season.
A record setting Game 1 got Central off to a great. Central’s new school record of 1150 blew out the Yellow Jackets to take a 6-2 lead and almost a 200 pin lead in Total Pins. In fact, Central could have easily swept all the points, but some late strikes helped Denham escape with 2 points. Game 1 was a complete team effort led by Sean Murphy (Junior) with a 226, followed by Jacob Garretson’s (Sophomore) 225, Bryan Waites’ (Senior & Captain) 211, Kevin Kennedy’s (Junior) 177 and Haley Young’s (Sophomore) 176. Denham Springs showed in Game 2 that they weren’t just going to roll over. In Game 2, Denham responded by winning 6-2 and 1048-997 in Total Pins. Once again, Central had their chances to take control of the match but clutch strikes helped the Yellow Jackets even up the score 8-8. Central was again led by Waites with a 210 and Garretson’s 199.
Central closed out Denham Springs in Game 3 winning 5-3 and 965-958 in Total Pins. With the Total Pins bonus (3 points), Central won the match 16-11 (and 3112-2962 Total Pins). That game Garretson led the Wildcats with a 192. Overall, Garretson’s 225 game and 616 series was high for the Wildcats, followed by Waites’ 211/595, Murphy’s 226/566, Young’s 176/488 and Sarah Leduff’s (Freshman) 148/419. Denham Springs was led by Kyler Campbell’s 214/592 and Keaton Atwell’s 191/559. Central bowls Zachary (0-4) on Wednesday (2-6-13) at 3:30pm at All Star Lanes.
