Jonah Eck Athlete Spotlight
Jonah Eck Athlete Spotlight
We had the opportunity to sit down with Jonah Eck, a Senior on our bowling team
- How long have you been a bowler? Besides occasional bowling with friends and family, I have never bowled before this season.
- What are practices/matches like? Practices are very fun and casual that I enjoy with my friends, matches are a little stressful especially the first match we had as I had no idea what I was doing, but matches are fun and they can get exciting with teammates and parents cheering and everything.
- How is the team coming together? We are a very new team with a lot of first time bowlers (like me) but we have all been progressing a lot since the start of the season and starting to shape up to be a very good team.
- Where are the bowling matches held? They are held at various different Bowling Lanes around the county like Brunswick and Rebmans.
- What size bowling ball do you use? I think it’s a 15 pound ball, it’s doesn’t say on the ball but it’s heavier than 12 pounds.
- How does it feel to be a Senior bowler? It feels great as I am looked up to by my teammates but I wish I would have bowled more throughout my high school career
- What are the fundamentals to bowling? Don’t use plastic lane balls, get a real ball and get a nice curve on the ball to hit that pocket just right.
- Do you know what the PBA is? Absolutely no idea
- Do you think you will end up on the PBA circuit? Not sure what it is so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- What has been your best bowling score so far this year? My high game this season so far is a 215
- How many strikes have you bowled this year? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I have no idea but I have bowled quite a few I think
- How does God help you while bowling? He gives me the strength to bowl and He has surrounded me with friends and coaches who help me and encourage me as I bowl.
