Being a very team oriented and passionate person is exactly who senior bowler Alyssa Brantley is.
“I don’t have many individual goals; I’ve never been the type of person who thought of themselves in a team setting. One goal I want for the Southeast girls team is to make top 10 in an invitational tournament, the closest we’ve ever been is 14th and I know we can get there,” Brantley said.
Brantley is also very excited and prepared for this upcoming season with the rest of the Buffaloes.
“I’m excited for regionals, last year was so fun being able to travel and compete with my team in a whole different city. Going up to Topeka and staying in a hotel was an experience that I’ll never cease to enjoy,” Brantley said.
Over the offseason Brantley bowled in a league which helped her tremendously, but she struggled to find time to bowl with others.
“I haven’t been able to do much in the offseason to get better which pains me, the majority of my friends aren’t available to practice or bowl with me,” Brantley said. and I’ve always had a hard time bowling with people I don’t know.
Brantley has one major area of improvement she worked on to prepare for the season, she wants to get better at letting her ball go.
“For the majority of my life I’ve lofted to the point where I haven’t been able to relax my hand as much as I should. This year my priority is getting to the point where my bowling ball can travel down the lane as well as get better in picking up my spares,” Brantley said.
