So as Ariel’s season is winding down, here’s where things stand:
Her high school team finished first in their division. This Saturday the county-wide playoffs will be held at Sayville Lanes in Long Island. That will determine who goes to the State championships.
Ariel herself, along with one of her teammates, Kat, finished second in a two-game county-wide Doubles tournament. Her first game was an anemic 135, but she shook it off and came roaring back, firing off six strikes in a row on her way to a 232 that helped her and her partner clinch second place.
Tragically, I’ll be at WonderCon this weekend and will miss the counties. I agreed to the convention eight months ago before we even knew whether Ariel would make the team, much less when counties were. But Ariel and Kath will be calling me with updates, so don’t be surprised if my cell phone rings during one of my Saturday talks and I take the call.
