State Bowling Tournament…
Well, our involvement in the state bowling tournament is over. Austin came close to qualifying, but fell about 25 pins short. He bowled well today, but this is state and sometimes well isn’t good enough. He started with the fifth game with 4 strikes (which really got us excited) and the opened in 5th frame (he actually did this about 3 times where he would strike in at least the 3rd and 4th frame and then open the 5th.)
The second game was a little rougher. Austin couldn’t find his line after several adjustments and he never really got into a groove. He had one double (9 th & 10th) but that was it and he ended with something around a 177. The third game went very well for him. I believe he had a clean game or something close to it end the morning.
In the afternoon we started on a reall rough pair and again Austin had a hard time finding his line. As we moved to the next pair, Austin moved in to play up the 3rd arrow and get a little hook at the end. This worked pretty well for a while and is how he finished most of the day.
‘So, we ended with a 1206 (which is respectable) but he didn’t make he cut. It has been a fun weekend. We went over to the Cahokia Mounds which was actually more interesting than I would have thought. For dinner tonight we got a bloomin’ onion (which I didn’t realize was made by a bloomologist) and pizza from a local restaurant, Fortels, which is very goof.
We then went swimming and played some Mario Kart. All in all, it was a fun but disappointing day.
Good Thing: Austin bowling consistently all six games. This is what we are going for.
