CLAREMONT, NH – Junior Kosmos Gletsos led the way for the Craftsbury Academy (CA) bowling team last weekend with a career-high across the border at Maple Lanes.
Gletsos bowled a personal best 169 in his final game after a slow start, taking his average for the season up over 121. Senior teammate Tucker Holcomb was the most consistent, finishing his day with a 141 after a solid 133 to open. Senior Soren Stelma-Leonard continued to improve in his first season, posting games of 130 and 137.
To start the new year, the Chargers lost a heartbreaker in Bakers to White River Valley at Sparetime in Colchester. The Wildcats scratched out a 140-139 in the opening game in the first round before pulling away for a 22 pin win to seal the match. Senior Parker Holcomb led the way, rolling a personal best 131 and junior Eva Small’s 127 was her best game of the season.
“Our athletes had a hard time getting started but sowed up in the Bakers. We inevitably lost a heartbreaker in the tenth frame, and it just wasn’t our match to win. We continue to improve with personal bests every week and I am so proud of how far this team has come!” said head coach Ashley Gravel.
In other news, St. Johnsbury Academy won their first match of the season over the weekend and Randolph and Fair Haven continued to roll, both claiming their fourth wins of the year to remain at the top of the team standings. Fair Haven sophomore Aiden Goyette bowled the first perfect game (300) of the year in week-three and the second perfect game in Vermont high school bowling history to vault him into the No. 6 spot in the individual standings. Randolph sophomore Nathan Luciano continues to pace the field with a 211 average.
The Chargers will be back in action this Saturday at the Valley Bowl in Randolph.
