With a new season on the horizon, Cheney’s Andrew Phelps knows there will be many challenges and obstacles, but he has a new weapon he will be using.
“I am excited about getting back into the swing of the season and competing each week,” Phelps said. “I am getting a new ball and can’t wait to try it out.”
There has been a steady increase in his production since his freshman year. Phelps’ average was a 141, his average pins was 5101, his high game was 256, high series 649.
He placed ninth at regionals and fifth at state, individually. He was also on the second place team at state as a Freshman.
Phelps closed last season bowling his best since he’s been at Cheney and it concluded with an impressive performance at the Class 4-1A Tournament. He is hoping that momentum carries over to this season – individually and as a team.
“I’ve been hitting the weight room for off season,” Phelps said. “I’ve also been trying out different balls to improve my game. I’m hoping to improve on my consistency and confidence. Finishing last year strong will help carry that into this year. As a team , I hope we can win state.”
