Junior Gold Day 3 Recap: Bella Love’s Focused Rise

Junior Gold Day 3 Recap: Bella Love’s Focused Rise

Day 3 at BuzzSocial was about control—not of the lanes or the pins, but of the things that matter most:

Attitude. Preparation. Effort. Gratitude.

Bella walked in focused, calm, and present. She didn’t chase scores or let distractions get to her. She stayed in her process—and it showed.

Day 1 Total: –21

Day 2 Total: –14 (gained +7)

Starting Day 3 at –14 overall

Game 1 – 196 (–4 for the game | –4 for the day | –18 total)

Bella opened with a strong-looking shot that checked up and left a 4–9 split. She picked up the four, stayed composed, and found a rhythm. She finished with a solid 9-spare-strike in the 10th to keep things steady. A good start in a tough field.

Game 2 – 179 (–21 for the game | –25 for the day | –39 total)

This game had highs and heartbreak. After a clean start and a textbook conversion of the 3–4–7–10 split, a washout in the 10th brought her to a 179. It dropped her to –25 for the day and –39 overall, but she didn’t flinch. She stayed present.

Game 3 – 233 (+33 for the game | +8 for the day | –6 total)

Bella bounced back in a big way. After a strong open and another stone-9, she went on a five-bagger. A 4–9 split in the 8th could’ve derailed her, but she came back strong with a strike in the 9th and clean execution in the 10th. That 233 moved her to +8 for the day, –6 overall.

Game 4 – 246 (+46 for the game | +54 for the day | +40 total)

This was Bella at her best. After sparing the 2–8 early, she threw five straight strikes, then stayed clean. In the 10th, she struck on the first ball, then left a 9-pin as a dramatic messenger spun around and just missed it. No problem—she spared it like a pro for a 246.

Day 3 Summary

• Game-by-game progression: –4 → –21 → +33 → +46

• Daily total: +54

• Event total: +40 (currently 6th place)

Bella didn’t just rise in the standings—she rose in presence. She didn’t flinch after early splits. She didn’t react to low scores or high noise. She focused on her lane. Her breath. Her game.

This wasn’t just a comeback. It was growth in action.
