PONTOTOC BOWLING IMPROVING EACH SEASON

The men of the Pontotoc bowling team initially entered last years’ regionals in Oxford as the fourth seed, but some late, wild card entries wound up bumping them down, and Coach Tyler Orman hopes to see his whole team get better this season.
“We won most of our matches, and only tied once or twice, so we had a pretty good season,” said Orman.
One big reason was the success of Carson Long, who will be a senior this year.
“Carson racked up a lot of wins last season, and really helped our team’s success,” said Orman. Most of the games were held at Event Zona in Tupelo.
Carson’s younger brother, Caleb, is also expected to make a big contribution this year, according to his coach.
“Caleb has a whole lot of potential,” said Orman.
On the womens’ side, senior Maddie Mooreman should be the leader, based on her past record, said Orman.
“Our girls didn’t perform as well as we hoped last season, but they’re getting better, and Maddie will be the one to really push them to improve,” said Orman. Kadence Griffin is another returning senior who should do well on the lanes.
“We’re looking for a major improvement from our girls,” said Orman. “Our guys are kind of starting from scratch, because we lost several. There are some younger players, on both sides, who should help give the team what we need.”
