12/12/2011 Girl's Bowling Results: Plymouth Whitemarsh at Hatboro-Horsham
DUBIOUS 60
Botched 10th frame in third set extends Hatters’ Infamous Drought
By PW Class of 2011 alum Scott Samuel David Weiss
WARMINSTER- The 2011-2012 girl’s bowling season for Plymouth Whitemarsh will be without Lauren Enslin (Bloomsberg), Brittany Clemens, Dani Rosenberg, Jessie Hockman, Deanna Form (Temple), and Bridget Fireman due to graduation. Head coach Jeff Blizzard added newcomers Ali and Clla along with senior Meghan DeSante to spark the Lady Colonials.
In the 20110-2012 Suburban One American and regular season openers for Plymouth Whitemarsh and Hatboro Horsham, the Lady Colonials’ downed the Hatters, 4-0 (571-402,623-516, 611-571; 1,805-1489). While PW started the 2011-2012 season 4-0 for the first time in their eight-year program, the Hatters(0-4) dropped their 56th through 60th overall consecutive games.In their last match between the two schools on February 2, 2011, PW thumped the Hatters, 4-0, in which Hatboro-Horsham had an individual high of 107.
In the opening set, Hatboro-Horsham recorded only two strikes, in which Tara had the Hatters’ only 100+ score of 107. Meghan DeSante in her PW bowling debut rolled a game-high 147, properly filling-in the anchor shoes of 2011 graduate Enslin. Jamie Pugielli’s first roll in the 10th had been a strike, but it did not register in the system, which had her score five plus open (the recorded 93 became 106, and PW’s 558 became 571).
Infamy continue for the host Hatters as they dropped eight first-roll gutterballs, in which anchor Katie McLendon twice recorded gutter-spare (on the second and sixth frames).Gabbi Gioia pulled three pins plus open on her first frame for PW, while the Hatters’ Dani and Linzy tallied spares. Riley and Linzy had back-to-back strikes on frame three for H-H. PW’s Clla rolled a double from the fourth and fifth, but McLendon recorded first-roll gutterballs on frames five and six. DeSante recorded her personal/game/match best 165 in this second set. PW, which took the second frame 623-516, had once trailed the Hatters’ by 35 in the set.
Hatboro-Horsham displayed the talents that possibly could have expunged their record 58-game drought. McLendon (two and three), Linzy (five and six), and Dani (four and five) each displayed doubles. PW at one point trailed the Hatters by 41 total pins. Tara had the Hatters’ first first-roll gutterball of the set on the fifth frame. The Lady Colonials stormed back from 41 down to pull even after PW’s Ali rolled eight plus one in the eighth. By the end of the eighth, the Hatters reclaimed a nine-pin advantage. However, Dani double-guttered on the ninth (and guttered her first roll in the tenth), but her teammates each had at least nine pins, except PW had their front four not mark (DeSante recorded nine-spare).When the decisive tenthand possibly drought-ending frame occurred, the Hatters failed to mark. Pugielli found some mojo on her final frame by striking her first two plus nine for a PW game three best of 134. McLendon felt the dagger after having made four strikes throughout the third set.
