The Hackett Hornets took to the alley to face the Van Buren Pointers in last nights bowling match. The Hornets are having a pretty good season thanks in part to their awesome leader. Head Coach for the Hackett Bowling team, Matt Whitsett, has been coaching the Hornets in bowling for the last 5 years. Coach Whitsett has always enjoyed bowling and even took it in college. Coaching the Lady Hornets softball team, Coach Whitsett was asked if he was willing to switch to coaching bowling and he jumped at the chance.
Although the Hornets didn’t take home a win last night, they did bowl some good games. Pacey McBride bowled a high game of 208 and Tanner Wright bowled a 200. Rachel Widmer bowled a 144 for the Lady Hornets. The girls’ team bowled a 145 in a great baker game. In bowling, a baker is when 6 players bowl 2 games against 6 opponents. From that, the top 5 players then bowl 2 bakers with each individual bowling 2 frames each. The final score is as a team total.
The game for tonight against Mt.Pine has been rescheduled for January 25th. The Hornets will bowl again next week on Tuesday, December 18th against Ozark at 4 pm.
