After winning the Titan invitational for the second year in a row, senior Avery Schippers is hoping to make it a third in her last season of competitive bowling.
“(The) Titan Invitational is always so much fun. I love the match play after qualifying the most. The feeling when you’ve just won a game and are moving on to the next level of brackets is amazing. Rushing to the banquet room and excitedly handing the scoresheet in, waiting anxiously until all the bowlers have finished before you know who you are up against next, and the competitive game that follows is one of the most amazing experiences,” Schippers said.
Schippers, who has been an anchor for Northwest since her sophomore year, is a key piece to this young Northwest bowling team.
“Avery is a brilliant kid and an incredible bowler. She has an unflappable demeanor. The team knows that when we get to the baker portion of a tournament, she is going to carry us to victory as the anchor bowler,” Head coach Brian Latta said.
Last year Schippers finished with a series high of 638 and an average of 182. She helped lead her team to first at city and second at regionals. This being Schippers’ last season, she is determined to make it a good one.
“I am extremely motivated this year because it is my last year and I truly want to make the most of it. This is the last year that I get to bowl competitively with these amazing girls and I want to make sure we have an amazing season together,” Schippers said.
