First day of league yesterday. Third game. Front 10 for 288!

Me and Cade getting in some baker doubles fun after practice today! Bowled 4. No pics for the first two. Went 226-244. Third game almost got the brick. Front 10 287, then finished 248. 757 set and 1005 for 4!

Meant to post this last week. PBA JR Louisville, KY is a wrap! Bowled last weekend on the PBA 45’ Dragon. Bowled 6 games qualifying on Saturday and then cut to top 8 match play where I bowled 8 more games of match play and position round on Sunday. Had a really great look all weekend with my Storm Trend 2! I went 4-4 in match play finishing 5th averaging 186 overall for 14! It was hard fought all day. I moved up and down moving up to as high as second at one point and pushing to make the final 4 stepladder final. It came down to the last game. I had a 20 pin lead over 5th sitting as the 4th seed. I had to bowl the 3 seed in position round and came up just short 201-192. The 5th place bowler bowled the 6 and won also shooting 192 and got the 30 bonus pins which pushed him above me and I missed step ladder by just 10 pins! I gave it my best effort and super proud with how I performed. In my first PBA JR last month in Myrtle I finished 14th and missed match play and this time finished 5th almost making the finals. So glad to see the hard work paying off! Thanks of course to Executive Strike and Spare for hosting a great tournament and Toby, who was a first class tournament director! Now back to retool before heading to PBA JR in Marietta, GA on the 26th. Special thanks to my coach, Chuck Gardner II and Matthew Wilborn and his equipment support out of BowlingSolutions RetailShops Gastonia, both amazing folks I am glad to have connected with!
