Saturday happens to be the most important meet of the season. It is called sub-state, and if we win we will advance to state. It's as simple as that. We want to advance to state, but it's not that easy. Last year we were down by over 200 pins going into baker. Baker is when you bowl 2 frames of the game. Since we have six people on the team one person is the sub. They can go into any position, and then the person in that position sits out for that game. Anyways we made up all but two pins. We lost going to state by two pins, and it sucked!
One struggle we are going to have is the fact that we are ranked forth out of the six teams that we are going to compete against. The teams that are coming are, Dubuque Senior, Dubuque Hempstead, Cedar Falls, Waterloo East, and the host, Waterloo West. We will be competing at Maple Lanes in Waterloo, Iowa. All we have to do is beat the four teams that rank higher than us. The other two should be no problem. They don't have an average much higher than ours, and they practically have the same amount as us for wins and loses.
If we pick up our spares and throw some strikes in there we should be fine. I think we have a shot along with the rest of our team. It sucks though that our captain isn't going to be bowling with us. She happens to be the second highest bowler on the team. It's going to suck not having her there, but I want to win this meet for her. Then we can have her back for state. That would be the best miracle I want to happen.
