Warren Mott Girls Varsity and Junior Varsity Dominate Divisional Singles Competition

This past Thursday, February 26th, 2004, the Warren Mott varsity and junior varsity boy's and girls teams competed in their divisional singles competition at Pampa Lanes in Warren. All the teams came in with very high individual hopes for the event and some really came through. The ladies seemed to be better adjusted to the lane conditions however as they took five of the eight medals available in the competition while the boys came close but came up empty.

The varsity girls competition saw varsity team captain Jessica Tyler roll a 210 game in route to a 556 series and a share of the top singles championship with Brandi Spanos of Warren Woods Tower. This makes the second year in a row that Jessica has on the singles competition, winning last season at Rosebowl Lanes in Roseville. The varsity girls did not stop there as Veronica Wineski rolled a nice 527 to take home third place this year.

The girl's junior varsity had an even better day than the girls' varsity team as they took three of the four medals in the competition. Courtney Sitko, who was willing to have her complete style and mechanics to bowling changed ten days previous to this competition by coach Tarabek, had it pay off as she rolled a 448 series to capture the ladies junior varsity title for 2004. Nicole Bowmer was not to be slighted as she rolled a nice 408 series to finish in second place and finishing in fourth position, and probably the most surprised of the winners, was junior varsity team captain Erika Wagner who shot 396 for her three game series.

The boys did not fair as well as the ladies but Damon Betterton did come in with a fifth place finish, just out of the medals, on the junior varsity side. Jeff Beyer of Chippewa Valley had the hot hand for the boys' varsity side as he shot a spectacular 290 game and finished with a 758 series to take the top spot. Ryan Cathey of Warren Cousino finished second with his first ever 700 series, shooting 716. Andrew Brunner of Sterling Heights took the boys junior varsity title rolling 638 while Chad Prytula of Warren Woods Tower finished second with a 624 series.

Congratulations to all the winners and best of luck in the upcoming varsity state championship competition.
