RED OAK — Creston/Orient-Macksburg bowling coaches Ron Pendegraft and Jerry Hartman had plenty of reason to be pleased with the Panther bowlers after Tuesday’s touranment at Red Oak Lanes.
The Panther girls pulled through for a comeback win, winning by two pins over Shenandoah.
Creston/O-M trailed Red Oak by 153 pins and Shenandoah by 40 after a round.
“It came down to the final frame in the final baker game when Casey (Batten) and Livi (Hartman) put together a double in the 9th and 10th frames, finishing with a final spare coupled with a 10th frame open by Red Oak’s anchor, to give the girls the win,” Pendegraft said.
Kim Orr led then girls with a high-game of 208 and two-game series of 378.
“Once we hit the Baker round... things just flipped,” Pendegraft said. “The strikes and spares started filling up our scoresheet and when it was all over we had averaged over 170 a game for the round and pulled off quite a comeback.”
For the boys, Isaac Jacobson had the high two-game series total of 292 in his first varsity action.
“The bright spot of the day for the boys had to be our rookie freshman Isaac Jacobson,” Pendegraft said. “In his first year of bowling and his first varsity match of the year, all he did was throw the high game of 163 and high series of 292. And then in the Baker round he threw six strikes and two spares to carry us to the finish.”
