These Golden Eagle bowlers were one of three boys teams in the state recognized by the Coaches Association as Academic All-State. To put that in perspective there are over 400 boys bowling teams in the state of Michigan. Only three qualified and were recognized.
As your coaches we have the pleasure of watching your dedication and hard work on the lanes turn into wins and conference titles. This accomplishment shows your commitment and dedication to your education.
Amazing job gentlemen, congratulations,
Coaches, Diana Raab and Eric Hall

From the Facebook group bowling friends in Jackson, a long message for our students who may want to be bowlers in high school:π³π³π³
I know there are a few High School student athlete bowlers in this group, so I just wanted to share a couple of thoughts.
Now that your season is over, take some time to reflect on yours & your teams season. Did you perform the way you wanted too? Was your school as successful as you anticipated? Did you improve individually and as a team player? Most importantly, DID YOU HAVE FUN?!?! Reflect a bit. Take some time to truly think about your season. As much bowling as you have done over the past couple of months, you understandably need a break. Take a couple of weeks off. Clear your mind. Let your body & mind decompress. Keep yourself from getting burned out. Then, come back and start bowling again!!!! Don't wait until September/October to pick up your bowling ball again. Come out and practice at least every other week through the summer. Even if it's just a game or two. Don't let your game get stale.
Plus, the bowling center that has supported you & your team during your season could use the business. Summers are a challenge for every center. With last years shutdown(s), it is important to support those who have supported you. Once we get closer to the season, go to the pro shop of your choice and have your grip analyzed. Our bodies are constantly changing. Even more so in your teenage years. It is very important to have the proper fit in your bowling ball. I know most of the pro shops in the area try and help High School student athletes out with reduced prices on maintenance and refitting. This way, you may be a step or two ahead of your competition. Whether it be for a spot on your High School team, or an opposing High School. But the most important thing to remember about any sport you participate in, have fun!!
It's a great day to become a Little Eagle!

From Coach Hall and Raab: Congratulations to Izzi Green today for a great performance at the MHSAA State Finals in Jackson. It was a tough field of 60 and throughout the day she flirted with the top 16. At one point she was as high as 19th place just 13 from the cut line of 16th. In the end game 6 was tough filled with some tough breaks and bad splits. A 40th place finish made your coaches proud. You join an elite fraternity of Golden Eagle bowlers that have made the state finals and you held your own among some of the best in the state.
Great job Izzi!!

πCongratulations to Izzi Green!! Izzi finished 9th today in the Region 15 MHSAA Regional competition in Niles, MI making her the third girl in CCHS history to qualify for the MHSSA Finals.
Coaches around the LCAA have been talking about the CCHS girls bowling team. Theyβve been talking about how well theyβve been bowling, how improved they are and how this young squad is gonna be a force to be reckoned with in the future. Izzi Green walked in to the Regional tournament today and said donβt forget about whatβs here right now.
The team had a slow start in game 1 with a 754 but the girls fired back in game 2 with a season high 889 led by Izziβs career high 232 and a 201 from Shanna Detloff. As the lanes transitioned in games 3 and 4 the team held their own with games of 716 and 787 for a solid 7th place finish.
It was a great day for all the Golden Eagle ladies Izzi led the Eagles and averaged 183 for the day followed by Shanna at 172, Niya Holbert at 164, and Amber Johnson at 162. Sophie Kerr and Lorelei Mortimer combined for a 106 average making this a true team effort.
Congratulations to all the Golden Eagle Girls for a fantastic season and good luck to Izzi Green next Saturday at the MHSA state finals at Jax 60 in Jackson.
Congratulations to these readers this week who made their goal and earned their beach ball prize. This week alone our class read over 400 books! We are such amazing readers!
Unfortunately, last night was the end of the season for us. Saying that, we have NEVER been more proud of the team that rose up and competed last night. Through countless setbacks YOU made it happen! From throwing in three girls who have never competed round two before, to rearranging stunt groups and learning new spots for round one, these girls proved that they donβt ever stop fighting. Our crazy ride may be over this time, but we wonβt be down for long. We have so much pride in what they have overcome, not only this season but last night alone. No one can ever take that away from us. CCVC Forever! πβ¨ #CCVC #BetterTogether

From coach Eric Hall While the season ended today with an 11th place finish Diana and I couldnβt be more proud of how this group of young men pulled together as a team. It was a very difficult year with all kinds of new challenges and they handled it well. On top of COVID these guys navigated a new practice facility, a condensed season, a new bowling center for Regionals, a super demanding condition not to mention some lingering knee and back injuries. They showed a ton of grit and determination and should stand proud of the work they put in this entire season.
Congratulations to Caleb Gritzmaker. He was the highest qualifier in singles for the Golden Eagles today in 18th place, just 36 pins from a qualifying spot!

ππ³CCHS girls were meant to bowl against the Hudson Team tonight, however their team was in quarentine due to possible COVID exposure.
We needed to still bowl all games to take the win & points. This gave the girls great practice and experience on the wood lanes at Hudson for this season, and the upcoming Jamboree.
Bakers Games 164, 96 = 260
Regular Games 648, 753 = 1401
Niya Holbert bowled her first career 200 game, while Shanna Dettloff rolled her second career game over 200 in just the last two days, with a 209!
Sophie Kerr 88,121
Lorelei Mortimer 116, 114
Shanna Dettloff 175, 209
Niya Holbert 171, 200
Amber Johnson 98, 109
CCHS GIRLS TEAM IS NOW 4-2
Congratulations! ππ¦
ππ³The CCHS boys bowling team started out the night with solid baker games of 199 and 195 and never looked back winning convincingly against Hudson on their home lanes 25-5.
Matthew Ostrander continued his hot streak from the weekend with a 225 game followed by Caleb Gritzmaker with a nice 202. Timely strikes and solid spare shooting made this a total team effort.
The boys continue to lead the LCAA at 5-1. The Golden Eagle boys look to sweep the jamborees this Saturday at 9am at Hudson Lanes.

I once asked a very successful woman to share her secret with me. She smiled and said to me..
"I started succeeding when I started leaving small fights for small fighters.
I stopped fighting those who gossiped about me...
I stopped fighting with my in laws...
I stopped fighting for attention...
I stopped fighting to meet peoples expectation of me...
I stopped fighting for my rights with inconsiderate people..
I stopped fighting to please everyone...
I stopped fighting to prove they were wrong about me....
I left such fights for those who have nothing else to fight...
And I started fighting for
my vision,
my dreams,
my ideas and
my destiny.
The day I gave up on small fights is the day I started becoming successful & so much more content."
Some fights are not worth your time..... Choose what you fight for wisely.
