Fantasy Island! WHS bowling coach Bill Holbrook is college athlete

Coach Bill Holbrook

Wayland High School bowling coach Bill Holbrook isn’t just dreaming about doing something, he’s actually doing it.

Holbrook, whohas guided the Lady Wildcats to a league co-championship and is mentor of the state Division 2 runner-up (Sydney Urben), now is listed on the roster of the Cornerstone University bowling squad. At 46 years of age, he very easily is the oldest member of the eight-member Golden Eagles’ team.

“I am getting the opportunity of a lifetime to fulfill one of my long time dreams that I just assumed would never happen now,” Holbrook posted on Facebook “I had my first practice as a college athlete! Yes at 46 years old! I am on Cornerstone University’s men’s bowling team and it’s a varsity sport, not a club sport. Today was my first practice. All of my kids are older than ALL of the kids on this team. I am very excited for this chance and was even a little nervous today! I even have a profile on their athletic website.”
