10 clean white 4.5-inch pins stand proudly, the tail of the lane standing before the pit. Across 60 feet of synthetic planks is a fine coat of oil, and at the approach stands a bowler. With ball in hand and goal in mind, he is ready to win it all. And so, with the first game of the season played, Jesuit’s Bowling team start to fulfill the goal of being the best. But with the first game passed, the season started rough with a 10-5 loss for the bowl team’s varsity against Lewisville.
