The Bishop Manogue bowling team’s season is starting up with its first official match next week.
The bowling team has been hard at work warming up for its first match on November. 10. They will be competing against North Valleys High School at High Sierra lanes. Fortunately, Manogue uses High Sierra Lanes for its practices, potentially giving them home-field advantage. After that, they will be competing against Debbie Smith Career and Technical Education Academy on Saturday at Carson Lanes. The bowling team is feeling fairly confident, as they have had practices every Monday since Oct. 12. I reached out to bowler Peyton Cannon and asked how confident he is feeling for the upcoming matches. He said, “Here’s the deal, we’re the best there is plain and simple, I mean we wake up in the morning and piss excellence.” In addition to this, they have had three scrimmages in preparation, including one at the National Bowling Stadium.
Looking ahead, the bowling team has a very demanding schedule coming up, as they will travel to Fernley on Dec 12, as well as Gardnerville on Jan 16. They will also have matches at Coconut Bowl and the Grand Sierra Resort before the playoffs begin. The playoffs begin on Feb 1 and will run through Mar 3. All playoff matches will be held at the National Bowling Stadium. But, the Miners have a long road ahead of them before the playoffs come. They will need to keep their eyes on the prize for the playoff berth they desire. From now until the playoffs, they will be inching their way there, one strike at a time.
