Bowlers win dual, break records, nearly roll 300 at home
McCOOK, Neb. — McCook High's Kolton Koetter rolled a 277 which was one strike from 300 while senior Leni Henderson bowled her career-best 204 to highlight the historic first varsity bowling dual with Ogallala at TJ's Family Fun Center Tuesday afternoon.
More will appear in Thursday's McCook Gazette.
Coach Jana Sides provides more details details about the Bison teams:
"Girls’ Varsity won. High team game 696. Izzy Clause bowled Double-double (2 sets of 2-strikes in a row)for a 177 game and a 2-game series of 331. Leni Henderson bowled a Turkey (3-in-a-row) and a Double for a PR score of 204 and a 2-game series 321.
Boys’ Varsity won 19.5 - 1.5. Layton Winters and Jalen Collicott both had 4-Baggers. Kolton Koetter had a Turkey, a 6-Bagger, and an 8-Bagger. He bowled 11 strikes in a single game for a new school record high game of 277 and a 2-game series of 525. Team game score was 1005. Coach Jana Sides said “I know I say that we set records every meet– it is our first year and we continue to get better– but THIS record is impressive. It will be incredibly hard to beat!”
Ogallala did not bring a JV team, so McCook split their teams to have an exhibition scrimmage and a chance to show off for the home town crowd. Mark Wolfe bowled a 4-Bagger on his way to a 152 game and a 291 2-game series. Kreighton Barger and Isaiah Powers each bowled a Double. Liam Powers bowled a PR 149 game. Beckett Heskett got a Triple-Double (3 sets of 2-strikes in a row) for a 178 game and a 317 series. Klaire McCorkle picked up an almost-impossible split and bowled another PR. Nathan Barger bowled a Double-double AND a Turkey for a 165 game. Kevin Wolfe posted a game where he picked up 7 spares for an almost-clean game. Coach Sides commented, “This group of athletes is amazing. They have incredible talent, and are dedicated to improving even more. They are young, but they are MIGHTY!”
