Girls Bowling, and all bowling for that matter, typically flies under the radar in terms of popular sports. Although it may not entail much physicality such as sacking a quarterback on fourth down, or dunking on someone for an “and one”, it requires just as much skill and precision as any other sport.\

One program in particular that deserves some much-needed recognition is the GCHS Girls Bowling teams. They’ve been on a roll this season (no pun intended). Varsity ended the season with an 8-2 overall record, first place in the NLCC at 6-2, and have taken first place at 4 out of 6 tournaments they’ve competed in so far this year. The JV team has excelled this season as well, standing both undefeated in conference and overall, not dropping a single match the entire year.

As sweet as it as to be winning like they are, this kind of success is a bit of an abnormality for the girls and Head Coach Beth Miller, in comparison to what this program is used to seeing.

The female bowldogs just took home their second NLCC conference title in three seasons, but prior to those two years, it was the first conference championship they had won in 38 years.

To put that in perspective, most of our own parents weren’t even in high school yet, let alone us being introduced to the world. It’s been a long time coming for the program to say the least.

Mrs. Miller talks briefly on the turnaround of the program, “It’s a huge accomplishment ending the drought, but also to repeat it again that soon after, especially with the hard work the girls put in.”

Moving forward into regionals, the girls are looking to excel and advance to sectionals.
