Bowling
Written by Mary Koval & Kaylee Hall
While being on the bowling team for some time, members of the team have some positive feedback about the sport. Mary Koval and Kaylee Hall asked about their experiences on the team. Koval asked Dustin Riva, “How has bowling changed your Highschool experience?” He stated, “It has most definitely changed my Highschool experience in a good way and led me to meeting new people.” Hall asked, “Is bowling any fun?” Dustin stated, “Bowling is a very fun sport.” We asked these same questions to Seth Pawlik, Alexis Wood, and Cody Krason. Alexis Wood had some pretty cool statements about bowling. Wood stated, “It’s really fun to meet new people and make a lot of friends along the way.” She also stated that bowling counts as a varsity sport. Krason says,“Bowling is very fun, and it gives me something to do in the evenings.” Seth Pawlik had a similar experience as Wood as he said, “It’s very fun and I’ve met a lot more people and made new friends.” The bowling teams also are involved in competitions, with Annabel Miller competing at a match in Mount Lebanon on February 20th. From what we hear, bowling is a great place to meet new people and make new friends!
