So tough night tonight. Won 2 lost 8.
We played one of the best teams in the state Richmond. We were down 2 bowlers one to being sick and another being out of state. So with 3 bowlers in an alley we always struggle with, we went in there strong and played our game. The first meet is always tough finding footing.
I am so proud of these kids, I can't say that enough.
all 5 are Juniors 4 have been there since freshman. They are not just good bowlers but becoming good people and will be good adults. Respectful, supportive and good listeners. They work hard and take good direction and pick each other. I have seen such improvement in their game.
David has never bowled before this season in 3 weeks of practice I've seen him go from 40-50 to 115-140. Tonight I think there were a little bit of nerves. He's never bowled on wood lanes and it is a different atmosphere. I'm excited to see his growth this season.
My son Memphis mental game has been so much better this year. His spare game is stronger and he's bringing in some leadership. I'm seeing that with Drake too. He has been more consistent in his throws and his knowledge of the game is more advanced than last season.
Follow the rest of the season here. Tomorrow we're going in with only 3 again but can't wait until all 5 are there and seeing this journey of these guys.
Matt Laurie coming in to help coach for his first game has been helpful and my wife Samantha Grimm first year coaching. She helped coach middle school for the last 2 years. Love the three of us together who have been friends since high school coming together. We've got a great team.
