“On the Bubble, In the Fight”

“On the Bubble, In the Fight”

Today was one of those days we’ll never forget—a mix of nerves, hope, and heart.

Bella Love stepped onto the lanes for her first ever Advancers round in the U18 division at Junior Gold, knowing that every single pin mattered. And she showed up with poise, grit, and grace.

In the morning block, she averaged 187, finishing the round at -61. After a short break and reset, she came back for Round 2 with a stronger rhythm and averaged 191, ending the afternoon at -41.

Her final score: -116.

Her final result: 15th seed.

Only 16 girls advanced. She made it.

Bella Love is officially in Match Play.

There’s no other way to say it—we are grateful. Grateful for the chance to keep bowling. Grateful for the joy this sport brings her. Grateful for the opportunity to watch her face pressure, find her breath, and trust the work she’s done.

She’ll now face the #2 seed in tonight’s Match Play round. But no matter what happens tonight, this moment already feels like a win.

Because Bella showed up.

Because she stayed grounded.

Because she let her love of the game lead.

This isn’t just about rankings or averages. It’s about rising, trusting, and giving your best with joy. It’s about counting blessings—not just pins.

We’ll be back at the lanes at 6:45 PM for the players meeting. The match starts at 7:30.

And we’ll be there—proud, present, and cheering with full hearts.

Let’s go, Bella Love. 🎳❤️
