SMYRNA ??” Until this week, bowler Kimberly Hensley hadn??™t competed this season against another girl in a high school match.

 

That was until the start of the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association??™s individual state bowling tournament. On Friday, Hensley, a McGavock senior, showed she was the top girl bowler in Division I.

 

Hensley won the second annual individual tournament at the Smyrna Bowling Center, coming back from fifth place to win with 2,679 pins ??” 74 more than runner-up Hilary Bell of Soddy-Daisy.

 

???I had bowled against (girls in our region) from my freshman to my junior year. It was pretty much if you get 160, you beat her,??? said Hensley, who was forced to join her school??™s boys team this year because there weren??™t enough girl bowlers to field a girls team. ???Bowling with the guys, you??™ve got to have every pin.???

 

Middle Tennessee dominates

Hensley was one of three Middle Tennessee bowlers to win individual titles Friday.

 

Columbia??™s Michael Poirier won the Division I tournament with 3,027 pins to defeat defending champion Gary Faulkner of Germantown by 128 pins.

 

Poirier entered the final game with a 47-pin lead over teammate Travis Howell. Poirier then rolled a 209 and picked up 30 bonus pins for defeating Howell.

Faulkner won his game to overtake Howell for second.

 

???I wanted to win, but if Travis would??™ve have beaten me, I wouldn??™t have been upset,??? Poirier said. ???If a person from another team was up there, I probably would have been more aggressive.???

 

Pope John Paul II??™s Christina Calvo won the Division II girls title with 1,899 total pins ??” 247 more than teammate Hayley Pionk.

 

???I was pretty determined to get first after last year, when I got second,??? Calvo said.

McCallie??™s Alex Goss was the lone non-Middle Tennessee bowler to win. He defeated defending Division II boys champion Rand Woodson of Montgomery Bell Academy by 157 pins.

 

Six advance to team semifinals

Six teams from Middle Tennessee advanced to today??™s team semifinals set for 9 a.m.

 

Both Hendersonville??™s and JPII??™s boys and girls teams won their quarterfinal matches. Page??™s boys and Columbia??™s boys also advanced.

 

Hendersonville??™s girls came a pin short of tying the state record for most in a match.

 

The Lady Commandos had 3,333 total pins in their 24-3 win over Gatlinburg-Pittman.

 

On the boys side, Page upset White Station 18-9. White Station entered the tournament as one of the tournament favorites. Page faces Columbia today in an all-Middle Tennessee semifinal match.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.

      This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.

      Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.

      It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover.

      That's complete BS.  Nobody at ACHS has access to CHS student records unless a transfer is made from CHS to ACHS.
