My youngest daughter bowled in the state championships this weekend and won the scratch U12 division championships. The first three games they bowled were on Saturday on the Wall Street pattern. She averaged 154 for those games to qualify in first place over 24 other bowlers.
The field was then cut to the top 12 and they bowled on Sunday for the championship. They bowled three games on the Beaten Path pattern where she averaged 156 and qualified first. They cut the field to 8 shifted two lanes right and bowled 2 more games. My daughter qualified first again throwing 146-162 after shifting right again. The field was cut to 4 and she threw 187-133 but qualified second. They shifted lanes again and the championship roll off my daughter took the first game 167-129 and the second game she also won 169-128 for the championship.
I was extremely proud of her especially of the scores she shot bowing on a challenge pattern. The initial Wall Street pattern was known before hand and she had the opportunity to practice on but the Beaten Path pattern wasn't announced until the morning of the championships. She won a $250 scholarship, a new ball from Storm of her choosing, paid entry in the Jr. Gold Championships in Indiana $150 value, and she will receive expense reimbursement for the trip up to $500 for her first place finish.
