Controversy Hurts Team Although Bonanza lost three key play- ers at the beginning of the season, the Boy's Varsity team finished second place in their division, only ten games behind first. There were various reasons as to why the players left, however, it was mainly a controversy concerning the AJBC. Earlier in the year, the school board ruled that the AJBC was no longer sanctioned. Petitions were started by both parents and students but to no avail. Students were angered that they would no longer be acknowledged by the AJBC for their bowling achievements. Throughout the season, Senior Tim Schwerdtfeger led the team to victory. Averaging an astounding 209, Tim's name often appeared in the local news- papers. His high game was a 269 and his high series 712. ln total, Tim had both the highest average and highest single game in the district, as well as being one of only two boys to surpass a 700 series. He finished the season with twenty-four 200 games and nine 600 series. The three JV bowlers who were forced to move up to Varsity did an exceptional job. With sophomore Jason Payne aver- aging a high 173, and Seniors AI Dicerto with a consistent 165 and Preston Apos- tolec with a 152, the team maintained its high standings throughout. Finishing off the Varsity team was second man Chris Ramirez with a 176 average. The boy's JV team finished with a split season. Captain Todd McDonald aver- aged a 157. Both Rick Navis and Matt Vint bowled Varsity and JV and Tim Peace completed the team. 4 Tim Schwerdtfeger, varsity team captain, warms up for the match against Gorman.
