1
00:00:06,425 --> 00:00:09,045
- Hey everybody, I'm
Connor and that is Doug.

2
00:00:09,185 --> 00:00:11,925
And this is the Bethel School
District Presents podcast,

3
00:00:12,425 --> 00:00:14,365
and we have a humdinger of a show for you

4
00:00:14,365 --> 00:00:15,365
- Today.

5
00:00:15,365 --> 00:00:15,925
Talk to me, goose. Oh,

6
00:00:16,155 --> 00:00:18,205
- Does that make you
Maverick in this scenario?

7
00:00:18,805 --> 00:00:20,005
- <laugh>? I guess it does. It's

8
00:00:20,005 --> 00:00:21,125
not actually a very good role for me.

9
00:00:21,425 --> 00:00:23,645
- No, I'm thinking you're
more like Dave, the dude

10
00:00:23,665 --> 00:00:25,125
who fills up the jets with fuel

11
00:00:25,525 --> 00:00:26,525
- <laugh>.

12
00:00:26,525 --> 00:00:27,205
I think that's pretty accurate.

13
00:00:27,265 --> 00:00:29,405
But Top Gun does have a fantastic,

14
00:00:29,765 --> 00:00:32,845
probably the best on
film ever karaoke scene.

15
00:00:32,985 --> 00:00:34,765
And I wanna celebrate that
today by asking you, Connor,

16
00:00:34,865 --> 00:00:38,365
what's is your Go-to karaoke jam?

17
00:00:39,145 --> 00:00:40,765
- Oh, so many to choose from.

18
00:00:41,005 --> 00:00:43,245
I often get asked to do karaoke

19
00:00:43,245 --> 00:00:46,245
because my voice is
like an angels <laugh>.

20
00:00:46,555 --> 00:00:48,485
When I'm gonna bless the
audience with the song.

21
00:00:48,725 --> 00:00:51,765
I usually go with my
first pick, which is a bit

22
00:00:51,765 --> 00:00:55,565
of a deep cut from the Paul
Simon catalog, Cecilia.

23
00:00:55,825 --> 00:00:58,085
But it's a crowd pleaser
and I'm there to please,

24
00:00:58,405 --> 00:01:00,445
- I, I don't know if
I've ever heard Cecilia

25
00:01:00,505 --> 00:01:02,605
and I don't know if our audience
is ready for that blessing.

26
00:01:02,605 --> 00:01:04,605
So let's, let's keep it in
your back pocket for now.

27
00:01:04,605 --> 00:01:05,925
Maybe we will do it at
the end of the show.

28
00:01:06,105 --> 00:01:08,325
That's what they call a
tease, ladies and gentlemen.

29
00:01:08,545 --> 00:01:10,045
But this is a fun question, Connie.

30
00:01:10,045 --> 00:01:12,045
You wanna know my go-to karaoke jam?

31
00:01:12,445 --> 00:01:14,885
- I actually already know
your Go-to karaoke jam

32
00:01:14,885 --> 00:01:15,885
because I've heard it.

33
00:01:16,065 --> 00:01:17,485
Oh boy. And it's glorious

34
00:01:18,005 --> 00:01:21,125
- <laugh>
- And it is Kenny Loggins Highway

35
00:01:21,305 --> 00:01:22,325
to the Danger Zone.

36
00:01:22,865 --> 00:01:24,765
And trust me, people, when I tell you,

37
00:01:25,185 --> 00:01:27,205
if you ever get the
chance to see Doug Belt

38
00:01:27,205 --> 00:01:28,885
that one out, do not miss it.

39
00:01:29,205 --> 00:01:32,365
- <laugh>. And trust me,
people, you should miss it.

40
00:01:32,475 --> 00:01:33,605
It's not as advertised,

41
00:01:33,985 --> 00:01:35,805
but it is a fun question to think about.

42
00:01:35,805 --> 00:01:37,325
And Connor, you took this question

43
00:01:37,325 --> 00:01:40,165
to our very own Spanaway Lake
High School bowling team,

44
00:01:41,225 --> 00:01:44,685
- And we are joined today
by Coach Sebastian Foreman

45
00:01:44,825 --> 00:01:47,405
and some of his Spanaway Lake
High School bowling team.

46
00:01:47,625 --> 00:01:49,205
And we're gonna start out with what Doug

47
00:01:49,205 --> 00:01:51,605
and I were just talking
about, karaoke songs.

48
00:01:51,705 --> 00:01:52,765
I'm gonna go around the horn.

49
00:01:52,765 --> 00:01:53,925
Could you introduce yourself,

50
00:01:54,115 --> 00:01:57,605
tell me your bowling high score
and your Go-to karaoke song.

51
00:01:58,025 --> 00:01:59,205
- So my name's Serenity,

52
00:01:59,265 --> 00:02:03,525
my Go-to karaoke song is Party
in the USA by Miley Cyrus.

53
00:02:03,585 --> 00:02:05,805
And my all time high is two 14.

54
00:02:06,385 --> 00:02:10,925
- Um, I'm Alina and my high score is 2 79.

55
00:02:11,305 --> 00:02:15,245
And my favorite karaoke song
is Super Bass by Nicki Minaj.

56
00:02:15,585 --> 00:02:17,805
- I'm Tamia, my high score is 2 99

57
00:02:18,025 --> 00:02:20,245
and my all time favorite karaoke song is,

58
00:02:20,245 --> 00:02:22,285
it's All Coming Back To
Me Now by Celine Dion.

59
00:02:22,785 --> 00:02:25,925
- And I'm Coach Foreman.
And my Go-to karaoke song is

60
00:02:25,925 --> 00:02:27,885
Friends and Low Places by Garth Brooks.

61
00:02:28,385 --> 00:02:30,885
And my all time high score is 2 99.

62
00:02:31,225 --> 00:02:35,485
- So first off, before we
get going, coach Tamia 2 99,

63
00:02:35,745 --> 00:02:38,245
if I'm not mistaken,
300 is a perfect game.

64
00:02:38,425 --> 00:02:41,445
So there must be a small
piece of your heart

65
00:02:41,445 --> 00:02:45,525
that's just broken that you've
got so close to perfection.

66
00:02:45,525 --> 00:02:48,245
Tamia, I'm gonna start with
you. Describe your 2 99

67
00:02:48,315 --> 00:02:49,485
game. How long ago is this?

68
00:02:49,545 --> 00:02:50,805
- Um, it was a couple weeks ago.

69
00:02:50,825 --> 00:02:52,285
It was at my Saturday Night League

70
00:02:52,285 --> 00:02:53,485
or Saturday Morning League.

71
00:02:53,945 --> 00:02:55,205
And it was pretty good.

72
00:02:55,365 --> 00:02:57,365
I, I threw the last shot to make it at 300

73
00:02:57,865 --> 00:03:00,365
and for bowlers out
there I left a five pin.

74
00:03:00,865 --> 00:03:02,445
So that was kind of funny, honestly.

75
00:03:02,705 --> 00:03:05,245
Um, that's the pin right in
the middle. But it was awesome.

76
00:03:05,345 --> 00:03:08,325
It was really cool. And I feel
the 300 coming really soon.

77
00:03:08,765 --> 00:03:10,765
- I bet. I mean, you,
you're, you're very young.

78
00:03:10,825 --> 00:03:12,525
I'm sure that's in your future foreman.

79
00:03:12,745 --> 00:03:14,205
Oh, you're not as young. I'm not.

80
00:03:14,505 --> 00:03:15,645
Is you, you, you think that three

81
00:03:15,645 --> 00:03:17,045
hundred's in your future still? No,

82
00:03:17,125 --> 00:03:18,125
- I don't.

83
00:03:18,125 --> 00:03:19,365
And it's not something
I'm trying to strive for.

84
00:03:19,905 --> 00:03:24,445
Um, I did mine back in 2006, bowling

85
00:03:24,445 --> 00:03:25,725
with my dad at Paradise.

86
00:03:26,065 --> 00:03:29,965
Um, and it was, it was an experience that

87
00:03:31,625 --> 00:03:34,525
is something I talk about
with the kids all, you know,

88
00:03:34,525 --> 00:03:37,485
when we, when we get close
to it, it's just, it was,

89
00:03:37,705 --> 00:03:41,485
it was different from what the
normal bowling experience was

90
00:03:41,585 --> 00:03:43,725
and I just didn't handle
the pressure. Well,

91
00:03:43,785 --> 00:03:45,365
- And I'm, I promise we're gonna move on,

92
00:03:45,365 --> 00:03:47,525
but I'm just astounded by the 2 99.

93
00:03:47,705 --> 00:03:49,485
So tell me first, what was it like

94
00:03:49,485 --> 00:03:50,525
trying to go to sleep that night?

95
00:03:50,625 --> 00:03:52,765
Did you just see that
pin kind of wobbling back

96
00:03:52,765 --> 00:03:53,765
and forth in your dreams

97
00:03:53,785 --> 00:03:55,885
or were you just pretty
stoked that you got a 2 99?

98
00:03:55,955 --> 00:03:57,805
- I've gotten pretty
close before in the past

99
00:03:58,145 --> 00:04:00,445
and it wasn't, it was more fun

100
00:04:00,445 --> 00:04:02,925
because it was a fun thing
and I was just pretty happy.

101
00:04:03,045 --> 00:04:04,445
I was like, wow, I've never gotten this

102
00:04:04,445 --> 00:04:05,485
many in a row before.

103
00:04:05,825 --> 00:04:08,205
And you know, my reaction,
I just started laughing.

104
00:04:08,245 --> 00:04:09,605
I was clapping for myself, I was happy

105
00:04:09,765 --> 00:04:11,685
I was, you know, 2 99.
That's cool. That is

106
00:04:11,715 --> 00:04:12,715
- Certainly cool.

107
00:04:12,945 --> 00:04:15,045
So Serenity, what got you into bowling

108
00:04:15,045 --> 00:04:16,445
to begin with? How long
have you been bowling?

109
00:04:16,705 --> 00:04:18,365
- So it's my third year bowling.

110
00:04:18,605 --> 00:04:19,765
I originally started

111
00:04:19,765 --> 00:04:23,125
because I knew a lot of girls
on my swim team did bowling

112
00:04:23,125 --> 00:04:24,485
and I was just so attached to them.

113
00:04:25,145 --> 00:04:28,325
But then getting into it, I
realized like how fun it was

114
00:04:28,385 --> 00:04:30,925
and I decided to come back
for a couple more years.

115
00:04:31,435 --> 00:04:34,965
- Nice. And Elena, what is
it about bowling that kind

116
00:04:34,965 --> 00:04:36,725
of drew you to the sport?
What keeps you going?

117
00:04:37,065 --> 00:04:38,085
- The family part of it.

118
00:04:38,275 --> 00:04:40,645
Just everybody's, it's
a very inclusive sport.

119
00:04:41,125 --> 00:04:42,565
- I, I think if you ask most people

120
00:04:42,625 --> 00:04:44,125
to say like Bethel school district

121
00:04:44,125 --> 00:04:45,285
sports, what pops into your head?

122
00:04:45,325 --> 00:04:46,925
I bet you most people are
gonna say GK football,

123
00:04:47,025 --> 00:04:50,525
but I would argue that this
program's even more successful,

124
00:04:50,705 --> 00:04:51,805
at least in recent years.

125
00:04:52,655 --> 00:04:55,285
Every time I look it's,
you know, a district title,

126
00:04:55,445 --> 00:04:57,525
a league title, a state championship.

127
00:04:58,115 --> 00:05:01,525
What is it about this
program, maybe Coach Foreman,

128
00:05:02,195 --> 00:05:05,125
that has allowed you
guys to succeed so much?

129
00:05:05,845 --> 00:05:08,405
- Honestly, um, along with Foreman,

130
00:05:08,505 --> 00:05:11,365
but also all of our girls
are just so supportive.

131
00:05:11,505 --> 00:05:14,165
It really makes you want to come out

132
00:05:14,345 --> 00:05:16,325
and want to have fun and do better.

133
00:05:16,675 --> 00:05:18,005
- What about you, Elena?
What do you think,

134
00:05:18,005 --> 00:05:19,485
what is it about this program that's

135
00:05:19,845 --> 00:05:21,205
enabling so much success?

136
00:05:21,465 --> 00:05:23,165
- Um, I'm gonna go back
to the family part.

137
00:05:23,285 --> 00:05:26,245
I think everybody's just so,
you know, everybody's nice

138
00:05:26,245 --> 00:05:28,645
to each other and we're
just like one big family.

139
00:05:29,135 --> 00:05:31,205
- Tamia, what was that like?
Winning state championship?

140
00:05:31,325 --> 00:05:32,405
I mean, that's amazing,

141
00:05:32,465 --> 00:05:34,125
that's a once in a lifetime type of thing.

142
00:05:34,275 --> 00:05:35,965
Walk us through what that was like. So

143
00:05:35,965 --> 00:05:38,445
- Me and Elena were actually
freshmen we're juniors right

144
00:05:38,445 --> 00:05:40,565
now and first year bowling.

145
00:05:40,605 --> 00:05:42,605
I honestly didn't wanna
do the bowling, but me

146
00:05:42,605 --> 00:05:45,645
and Elena were friends and
so we went into it, you know,

147
00:05:45,805 --> 00:05:48,605
we're these two freshmen
we auto, we get on varsity

148
00:05:49,185 --> 00:05:52,005
and we won league then we won districts

149
00:05:52,465 --> 00:05:54,965
and then we won state and I Do you think

150
00:05:54,965 --> 00:05:56,885
that we went into it expecting to win?

151
00:05:57,585 --> 00:06:01,285
Um, no, definitely not. It was
definitely, we just had fun.

152
00:06:01,625 --> 00:06:03,365
We were definitely
underdogs, like you said

153
00:06:03,365 --> 00:06:05,005
before, we, you know, no one thinks

154
00:06:05,005 --> 00:06:06,125
of Spanaway like bowling.

155
00:06:06,425 --> 00:06:09,005
And I think that was, we
were fiery, we were ready

156
00:06:09,185 --> 00:06:12,725
and it, it drove us to do the
best we've ever done. Coach

157
00:06:12,725 --> 00:06:17,325
- Foreman, what are these
young ladies learning as they

158
00:06:18,075 --> 00:06:21,205
bowl, as they practice, as
they work with each other

159
00:06:21,395 --> 00:06:22,765
that they might be able to take

160
00:06:22,835 --> 00:06:24,685
with them throughout their collegiate

161
00:06:24,685 --> 00:06:26,005
careers, their adult lives?

162
00:06:26,505 --> 00:06:29,245
- You know, it's the same
thing with any athlete.

163
00:06:29,245 --> 00:06:31,405
They're all learning how
to be great teammates,

164
00:06:31,745 --> 00:06:33,165
be great members of the community.

165
00:06:33,585 --> 00:06:36,725
Um, they're learning the
individual things that have

166
00:06:36,725 --> 00:06:38,645
to happen within their
personality to be a,

167
00:06:38,665 --> 00:06:39,765
uh, an efficient leader.

168
00:06:40,445 --> 00:06:41,845
'cause every, each of them is different.

169
00:06:42,225 --> 00:06:44,285
Um, each of them leads in a different way

170
00:06:44,705 --> 00:06:49,525
and it's working with them
individually to, you know,

171
00:06:49,525 --> 00:06:52,405
talking to them about the,
the different things related

172
00:06:52,665 --> 00:06:55,645
to being a good leader,
um, being a good teammate.

173
00:06:55,825 --> 00:06:58,525
Um, they take that to heart and,

174
00:06:58,705 --> 00:07:01,485
and each of these young
women here have done that.

175
00:07:01,575 --> 00:07:03,805
There are more women, you
know, young ladies on the team

176
00:07:03,805 --> 00:07:04,805
who have done this as well.

177
00:07:05,305 --> 00:07:07,485
Um, and I think that's one
of those things that's led

178
00:07:07,705 --> 00:07:09,645
to our, our recent success.

179
00:07:10,305 --> 00:07:12,725
You know, we came in here three years ago.

180
00:07:13,045 --> 00:07:14,645
I took the team over four years ago

181
00:07:14,665 --> 00:07:17,965
and I had a group of, um, a couple seniors

182
00:07:17,965 --> 00:07:20,125
who had been bowling on Saturday leagues.

183
00:07:20,125 --> 00:07:22,325
And then I had a couple
juniors who are sophomores

184
00:07:22,325 --> 00:07:23,845
who had bowled on Saturday leagues

185
00:07:24,105 --> 00:07:25,165
and they were getting better.

186
00:07:25,945 --> 00:07:27,005
We lost our seniors.

187
00:07:27,025 --> 00:07:29,365
And then to me and Elena came in

188
00:07:29,365 --> 00:07:31,805
and honestly, right, you know, when you,

189
00:07:31,925 --> 00:07:34,005
I have a parent tell me,
oh, my kid's been bowling,

190
00:07:34,065 --> 00:07:36,365
you know, doing whatever
sport for x number of years,

191
00:07:36,425 --> 00:07:37,885
you take it with a grain of salt.

192
00:07:38,345 --> 00:07:40,765
You know, when Tam Me's
mom, Natasha called me

193
00:07:40,765 --> 00:07:42,765
and said, you know, Tamias been bowling

194
00:07:42,765 --> 00:07:44,285
for a few years, she's pretty good.

195
00:07:44,365 --> 00:07:45,485
I was like, oh, well, well we'll see.

196
00:07:45,985 --> 00:07:47,205
You know, but it's one of those things

197
00:07:47,205 --> 00:07:49,045
where when they got there,

198
00:07:49,315 --> 00:07:52,325
they were already better than
many other kids at that age.

199
00:07:52,345 --> 00:07:54,725
And, and so they separated themselves

200
00:07:55,065 --> 00:07:56,085
and they earned their spots.

201
00:07:56,225 --> 00:07:57,485
You know, it's not as if they were

202
00:07:57,485 --> 00:07:58,605
given their spots on varsity.

203
00:07:58,605 --> 00:07:59,725
They earned their spots on varsity,

204
00:07:59,955 --> 00:08:02,885
they held their spots on varsity,
they helped us win State.

205
00:08:03,125 --> 00:08:05,165
I coached Serenity when I
coached Fast Pitch as well,

206
00:08:05,705 --> 00:08:08,165
you know, and, and the
things, I saw her there.

207
00:08:08,255 --> 00:08:10,365
She's in, she's taken and
used them here on the,

208
00:08:10,365 --> 00:08:11,405
on the bowling team.

209
00:08:11,505 --> 00:08:15,605
And, you know, she's changed
her game this year so much

210
00:08:16,275 --> 00:08:20,165
that she has become our
number three, number four, um,

211
00:08:20,595 --> 00:08:21,725
bowlers on varsity.

212
00:08:21,745 --> 00:08:24,805
So I'm happy to have, you
know, have her and, and,

213
00:08:24,865 --> 00:08:26,725
and have her family a part of this family.

214
00:08:26,865 --> 00:08:28,365
And it's a big family for me.

215
00:08:28,365 --> 00:08:31,205
It's like Helena said,
bowling is a huge family thing

216
00:08:31,265 --> 00:08:34,125
and it's all about being together and,

217
00:08:34,145 --> 00:08:35,205
and supporting each other.

218
00:08:35,305 --> 00:08:37,485
And yes, we're very inclusive and,

219
00:08:37,585 --> 00:08:39,365
and I'm proud of that piece.

220
00:08:39,595 --> 00:08:42,405
Very, very proud as a sped
teacher in this district. So, and

221
00:08:42,405 --> 00:08:43,445
- One of the things about bowling,

222
00:08:43,765 --> 00:08:46,205
I I honestly can't remember
ever meeting someone

223
00:08:46,265 --> 00:08:47,325
who doesn't like bowling.

224
00:08:47,365 --> 00:08:48,845
I mean, it's just a fun thing to do,

225
00:08:49,305 --> 00:08:51,565
but most people aren't very
good at it, myself included.

226
00:08:51,985 --> 00:08:53,885
And I wanted some tips because, you know,

227
00:08:53,905 --> 00:08:56,245
if we're getting 2 99, we're
pretty good <laugh> and,

228
00:08:56,245 --> 00:08:57,725
and your high scores are pretty good too.

229
00:08:57,825 --> 00:09:01,565
So most bowlers will have
that odd round where you get,

230
00:09:01,625 --> 00:09:04,445
you know, a hundred and
fifty, a hundred seventy five

231
00:09:04,445 --> 00:09:06,405
and you feel like, Hey, I might be

232
00:09:06,405 --> 00:09:07,605
ready for the professionals.

233
00:09:07,605 --> 00:09:09,845
Then you come back the next
time and you're sub 100.

234
00:09:10,385 --> 00:09:12,205
How can someone like myself

235
00:09:12,305 --> 00:09:15,765
or other subpar bowlers
pick up their consistency?

236
00:09:15,785 --> 00:09:16,965
Is there something, are there any

237
00:09:16,965 --> 00:09:18,645
tips you can give us to
me? I'll start with you.

238
00:09:19,045 --> 00:09:22,885
- I think 99% of this game
is mental. It's so mental.

239
00:09:23,205 --> 00:09:25,205
I mean, the reason I didn't shoot 2 99

240
00:09:25,305 --> 00:09:27,405
nor Foreman was probably
'cause we got two in our head.

241
00:09:27,745 --> 00:09:29,485
You know, it's rarely about

242
00:09:30,515 --> 00:09:32,085
what you can actually do to the ball.

243
00:09:32,245 --> 00:09:34,325
I mean, everyone can
swing their arms straight

244
00:09:34,545 --> 00:09:36,045
and let go of the ball consistently,

245
00:09:36,065 --> 00:09:38,125
but it's, if you just let your mind do it.

246
00:09:38,385 --> 00:09:41,525
And I think the key to just
consistently getting better is

247
00:09:41,625 --> 00:09:44,365
having the hunger to get
better, the, the want.

248
00:09:44,825 --> 00:09:47,245
Um, and just having fun with it

249
00:09:47,745 --> 00:09:49,525
and just remembering that it's bowling.

250
00:09:49,525 --> 00:09:51,245
At the end of the day, it's bowling.

251
00:09:51,745 --> 00:09:55,205
- So, uh, Elena, when, when
you have kind of an off day,

252
00:09:55,265 --> 00:09:56,325
how do you correct yourself?

253
00:09:56,345 --> 00:09:58,965
Are there, do you film,
do you see, uh, is it,

254
00:09:58,965 --> 00:10:01,045
is it usually something in the
way you're kind of lining up?

255
00:10:01,385 --> 00:10:03,605
How do you get back on the right track?

256
00:10:03,905 --> 00:10:06,205
- Um, I usually film
and send it to my coach

257
00:10:06,385 --> 00:10:08,925
or something like that and I just try

258
00:10:09,085 --> 00:10:11,245
and make the most of the day with it.

259
00:10:11,585 --> 00:10:13,285
Uh, sometimes I'll get frustrated,

260
00:10:13,425 --> 00:10:15,805
but you just gotta keep going.

261
00:10:15,985 --> 00:10:18,205
- And, and Serenity Coach
talked about this a little bit

262
00:10:18,205 --> 00:10:19,765
about the kind of leadership component

263
00:10:20,065 --> 00:10:21,525
and the comradery component.

264
00:10:21,825 --> 00:10:23,645
Is there anything that you
think you're getting from this

265
00:10:23,645 --> 00:10:26,285
team that you'll take
with you either in college

266
00:10:26,345 --> 00:10:28,085
or your, in your adult life?

267
00:10:28,255 --> 00:10:32,405
- Definitely, like Tamia was
saying, it is a mental thing

268
00:10:32,405 --> 00:10:35,245
and honestly, just hyping
people up is a part

269
00:10:35,245 --> 00:10:36,605
of how we get better.

270
00:10:36,905 --> 00:10:39,485
And so taking that, just
hyping people up in general

271
00:10:40,055 --> 00:10:42,405
makes everyone want to be better.

272
00:10:42,945 --> 00:10:46,685
And not only just in bullying,
but also just their selves.

273
00:10:47,045 --> 00:10:49,645
I know everyone hyping me
up on the team has made me a

274
00:10:49,645 --> 00:10:52,205
better person, not just
in bowling, but in life.

275
00:10:52,425 --> 00:10:55,165
So honestly, you just have
to be nicer to people.

276
00:10:56,245 --> 00:10:58,125
- Absolutely. Okay. That,
that's, let's, let's take,

277
00:10:58,125 --> 00:10:59,405
that can be our takeaway for today.

278
00:10:59,535 --> 00:11:00,765
Tamia, you think you might pursue

279
00:11:00,765 --> 00:11:02,005
bowling in the future in college?

280
00:11:02,585 --> 00:11:05,085
- Oh, definitely. Um,
I've been bowling for

281
00:11:05,085 --> 00:11:07,485
around eight years now and it's
more of a competitive thing.

282
00:11:07,515 --> 00:11:08,845
I've gone to nationals.

283
00:11:08,905 --> 00:11:10,445
Um, I was just at team USA trials

284
00:11:10,465 --> 00:11:11,925
and I met with a bunch
of different coaches.

285
00:11:12,505 --> 00:11:14,405
Um, I have scholarship offers

286
00:11:14,545 --> 00:11:17,405
and this is definitely something
I wanna pursue in college.

287
00:11:17,505 --> 00:11:19,125
It is something I'm going
to pursue in college

288
00:11:19,425 --> 00:11:21,085
and I'm really excited to see where I go

289
00:11:21,265 --> 00:11:25,645
and what um, what other team
I can find and make family.

290
00:11:25,825 --> 00:11:28,045
And yeah, I think honestly, being a part

291
00:11:28,045 --> 00:11:30,525
of high school bowling,
it's really prepped me

292
00:11:30,525 --> 00:11:32,485
for college bowling and I'm very excited

293
00:11:32,485 --> 00:11:34,445
because there's similarities,
there's differences.

294
00:11:34,475 --> 00:11:36,125
It's a lot more intense
in college, of course.

295
00:11:36,305 --> 00:11:38,765
But you know, the baseline
is you have a team,

296
00:11:38,865 --> 00:11:43,045
you have a family, and that's
where the magic comes from.

297
00:11:43,045 --> 00:11:44,125
That's where the winning comes from.

298
00:11:44,475 --> 00:11:47,125
- Well, thank you so much. I
appreciate you explaining this

299
00:11:47,125 --> 00:11:48,845
awesome sport to us and our listeners

300
00:11:48,905 --> 00:11:52,085
and good luck with the
rest of, uh, this season

301
00:11:52,225 --> 00:11:53,365
and into the next season.

302
00:11:53,425 --> 00:11:54,645
So appreciate it guys. Thank you.

303
00:11:58,585 --> 00:12:01,085
- That's gonna be our show
today. What a fun interview.

304
00:12:01,085 --> 00:12:02,725
Great group of student athletes there.

305
00:12:02,725 --> 00:12:05,165
And I loved hearing their
karaoke songs as well.

306
00:12:05,225 --> 00:12:06,565
And I love Bowling.

307
00:12:06,725 --> 00:12:08,725
Connor grew up watching
Bowling for Dollars

308
00:12:08,795 --> 00:12:12,485
with my parents on TV and
love going to the alley

309
00:12:12,665 --> 00:12:13,925
and throwing some balls.

310
00:12:14,105 --> 00:12:17,845
My high score 1 79. How
do you do out there?

311
00:12:18,395 --> 00:12:20,685
- Well, you know, strikes
and gutters, ups and downs.

312
00:12:21,085 --> 00:12:22,325
- I recognize, I quote a little big

313
00:12:22,445 --> 00:12:23,725
Lebowski referenced there.

314
00:12:23,745 --> 00:12:25,045
And last question of the pod,

315
00:12:25,275 --> 00:12:26,485
what is a better bowling movie?

316
00:12:26,625 --> 00:12:28,445
Big Lebowski for Kingpin.

317
00:12:28,835 --> 00:12:32,445
- Both fine films, but
gotta go with Big Lebowski.

318
00:12:32,515 --> 00:12:35,525
- Yeah, well, you know,
that's just like, uh,

319
00:12:36,595 --> 00:12:37,845
your opinion, man.

320
00:12:38,595 --> 00:12:40,565
- That'll do it for us, everybody.
We'll see you next week.
