Lets Bowl: Bullpup Bowlers Start 2020 Season On Tuesday

By Sports Editor Peter Holland Jr.

It’s bowling season for McPherson High School. The McPherson bowlers open the season at The Alley in Wichita on Tuesday at 3:30 p.m.

Herb Halinski enters his 12th season with the Bullpups, being the only bowling head coach in school history. For the boys, there are four seniors on the roster, but three of them have qualified for state.

“Taylor Miller has the most state experience and I plan on leaning on him to assist with the others,” Halisnki said.  “JC Becker and Jared Armstrong are also returning seniors with state experience. “

Other members on the bowling squad include Dakota Brown, Cooper Bruce, Hunter Trezise, Blade Einfeldt, Tytin Goebel, Wyatt Eisenbarth, Dylan Krehbiel and Clayton Everhart.

Halinski is excited to have most of his bowlers on the girls’ side. The Lady Pups are filled with underclassmen but will be led by last year’s state qualifier Haley Busch. Alexis French is only senior on the roster.

Other members include Kylee Busch, Emilee Fincher, Madison French, Bridget Menke, Naomy Aguilar, Heidi Allen and Birkley Schwartz.

“We are returning most of the girls from last year with Haley Busch being the only one who qualified for state last year,” Halinski said.  “I am looking forward to an exciting season. We have begun practice and doing a lot of new drills so hopefully, it will improve our sparring. ”
