Coach Quotes:
The Salamanca bowlers recognized their senior bowlers and team captains Monday at Central Lanes. Maeghan Collins has been a six year starter, league champion, team MVP, League All-Star, and is leading the Lady Warriors in average this season. Eric Murphy, also a 6 year bowler and a 3 year starter, and has been the most improved bowlers the past two seasons. Riley Groff is a three-year bowler. He works hard every practice and cheers on the Warriors every match.
Coach Jankowski reflects on his Senior Captains
“Riley is a great kid. When he has bowled in a match he always does his best bowling. If he is not in a match, he will cheer on the teams, clapping for them and telling them great job. It is refreshing to have a bowler like Riley. He makes an impact for us and we will miss that next year.”
“Eric has been bowling with us for 6 years. I have taught him in class and also coached him in golf. He is quick to grasp any adjustments, and that is a big reason for his improvement the past two seasons.”
“Maeghan has been a key member to the girls team for six years. She has done it all for us over that time frame, and she continues to do it this year, bowling her best this season. She is currently fifth in league in average. She works hard and tries her best with school and sports. And she does a great job with both of them!”
“I also want to thank the parents. They give up a lot of their time and money to help in their kids success. It makes a difference, and as we say good-bye to our seniors, we are also saying good-bye to the parents. I greatly appreciate all their contributions to our team’s success.”
BOYS:
Quinton Jones led the boys with a 597 series. “Q (Quinton) has shown tremendous improvement from last year. He is leading the league with a 209 average and he is real close to breaking out with a huge series. He understands the game so much better and makes more quality shots, and it shows with each match,” states Coach Jankowski.
GIRLS:
Senior captain Maeghan Collins shined on senior night, leading the Lady Warriors with games of 155, 165 and a 457 series. Coach Jankowski adds “Maeghan continues to get the job done for us. It has been tough with us not being able to practice. Maeghan gets a few girls to join her for some open bowling though. She is not a vocal leader, but she is certainly a “lead by example” captain for us.
