It really is a fun story.  NDA had a bowling team for a number of years, but it disbanded, for whatever reason and was gone for 3 years.

When Dave Hampton started it back up 4 years ago, he had 1 senior, I think 1 sophomore, a couple freshmen, an 8th and 7th grader....Most of whom had never bowled before.   They limped through that first season, usually with not enough girls to fill out a full team.

The following year, he had a freshman and an 8th grader.  It was seriously close to folding due to lack of participation.  With luck, he had a great group of sophomore girls that ended up joining the team (they were all friends and wanted to be involved in something together, so they gave bowling a try.). They improved rapidly and made a little noise in the regional that season.

Last season, he had most of those girls back and added a few more and fielded a really solid team, as they all seemed to pick up the sport quickly.  He had lost his original assistant coach, but was lucky enough to have Darrin step in.

This season, he had that initial 7th and 8th grader (now a sophomore and junior) 2 of the girls from that sophomore group that joined (now seniors), a sophomore that enrolled in the school this year, 2 other seniors that joined last season as juniors, and a great group of freshmen girls that all have a lot of potential.

The bowling PaNDAs should be a force for the foreseeable future.

I heard from (NDA) Coach Rump about this thread and he added:

We are going to the National tournament in June in Columbus and I hope for the best?

Top 20 teams advance to the next round.  Unfortunately the bowling PaNDAs finished 23rd.  Missed the cut by just 51 pins.  The girls team from PRP advanced, finishing the qualifying round in 9th.

No Kentucky boys teams advanced past the qualifier. 

Singles events still to come.

PRP made the cuts into the final 4 but one of the teams from Illinois was the eventual girls champion.
