You pick up an eight pound ball, and suddenly all eyes are on you. This is the clutch moment that you have waited for. You need a strike to win. The pressure is on, and all the blame will go on you if you lose. You do it! You get the strike, and now your team wins the game. This is one day in the life of a Miami High bowler.

Most of the members of the bowling team are seniors, but the team also includes sophomores and one freshman. The bowling team’s season, which started September 1^st , ended October 20^th. The boys record was 3-2, and the record for the girls was 2-4. The combined teams came in 7^th place out of 16^th at districts.

Bowling doesn’t get as much recognition at Miami High as the other sports. Mr. Emerson Perez, the bowling team’s coach, said, “No one really cares about bowling or even considers it to be a real sport.”

Miami High bowlers beg to differ. “It’s not as easy as it looks,” said senior Omar Chavez.

Senior and girl’s captain Chantell Santana said, “You need to practice and dedicate yourself to be able to bowl as well as some of our competitors.”

Nevertheless, many students do join the team at Miami High. Senior Gema Melendez said, “Coach Emerson and (last year’s captain) Andrea Hernandez convinced me during my sophomore year. I was like, sure I got nothing to lose. We get to bowl and hang out as friends!” Senior Omar Chavez said, “I joined because it’s a cool sport that I get to enjoy with my friends.”

Miami High’s top bowlers, according to Coach Emerson, are boys captain Anthony Porras and senior Sebastian Saavedra for the boys and Chantell Santana for the girls bowling team because they always score the highest and they’re always giving their teammates advice on how to improve their performance.
