Harper Smith, a senior in her 4th year of bowling, said “her high score in practice is 113 and bowling game is 115.”Ray Wynn says “In 2019 two students asked him to start a bowling team at Carter High School. I told them I can’t just start a team; they would have to ask Mrs. Messer, the principal. Keegan and John went straight to Mrs. Messer and she told them that’s a great idea.”Their first year they played CMA in their very first game with only one practice, boys and girls won 23-4 on October 1, 2019 at Fountain lanes. Ray Wynn says “The inaugural season was a huge success” So far into year 8 the girls are undefeated at 7-0 and the boys 7-2. Timmy Smith, our freshman, is in his first year. He is doing amazing.
