The Wayland High School girls’ bowling team didn’t make the cut at a tournament at Eastland Bowl in Kalamazoo Friday, but didn’t finish last, either.
Freshman Bella Harnish finished 18th out of probably 80 girls.
“We also got some bad news today as we lost our anchor, Amber Beggs, for a minimum of two weeks due to severe and extremely painful muscle spasms in her back (we hope that is all it is!),” said boys’ coach Sherry Miklusicak. “As a coach, it just feels like there is a bad spell on our teams this year.”
Saturday was a rough day as well, “but the shot was much better and the kids seemed happier,” Miklusicak said. “We had a fun day today even with some low scores.”
Highlights for the boys was Dillon Smith’s 237 game and the team Baker game of 211. Sophomore Alan Beggs had a solid day marking in 10 out of 12 Baker frames.
“It should be noted that our anchor had 5 out of 6 strikes in the last two Baker games with that aching chipped bone in his drive foot,” Miklusicak added. “It didn’t help it feel any better when his bad foot was ran over by another player’s bowling bag on wheels.
The Wildcat squads have upcoming matches Monday and Tuesday against Hudsonville Unity Christian and Middleville Thornapple Kellogg.
