The end of the final talk, after the team got eliminated from the state tournament. At the beginning of each event, and at the end of each event, for the team; the bowling team has a quick talk, puts their fists together, and then they lift their arms and go, “East!” “I’m hurting. Probably not hurting, as much as them, because I really wanted to see us accomplish bigger things, but that’s part of life,” said bowling coach Lenny Raley, “Yeah. Very, very proud (of the team). Again, things that may never be accomplished again, by most schools; I don’t know. To see a 300, was just absolutely phenomenal. So, when you win something, for the first time, it makes it special; winning the region. My first year is special to me. And then, being able to get here, and now, we and I know what it’s like, and everybody coming back knows what it’s like.”

At the Louisville City Tournament, Jan. 11, 2020; Young, senior Logan Parrish, junior Adam Young, sophomore Austin Hale and freshman David Scholtz, played a bakers match, and made history, and scored a perfect game, with 12 strikes in a row. “I think it (getting the 300 game) was pretty cool, considering I was the last person to complete that 300; is very stressful, you know, going up there shaking, taking deep breaths, inhaling, exhaling, trying to calm myself down. You know, it‘s just, for me, I was surprised I was able to do it,” said Dylan Young.

The team of bowlers that bowled at the Regionals tournament. Jan. 27, the Regionals tournament for bowling was held, and after facing off against Doss High School, DeSales High School, Fairdale High School and finally North Bullitt High School, Bullitt East was declared the champion. “So, we did get it going against Doss. Kids were a little tight against DeSales, but man, they took care of business, and once we did that, I felt like we had a really good chance to qualify for the state tournament, and win the region. Fairdale gave us everything that we could handle, but we just came out on top, by just a little, and then North Bullitt, we had pretty well handled them this season, and I feel like our confidence was very high, against them,” said bowling coach Lenny Raley, “Dylan (Young), all season long, has just been the anchor, and I call him, ‘The ice-man,’ because he has ice in his veins, and it doesn’t affect him. You know, he’s just solid; ice is solid, and he is solid. So, I’m just smiling thinking about it, and I’m very happy for our kids.”

Junior David Boyer and junior Zachary Compton bowling at the Unified Regionals tournament. Boyer, Compton, sophomore Austin Hale and senior Dylan Young bowled as two separate teams, at the Unified Regionals tournament, and Compton and Hale actually ended up winning the whole tournament. “I have a tender spot for those kind of kids. You know, our school is highly recognized as one of the top schools in the United States for being involved with unified programs, and so, really two good kids. David is very high strong and got a lot of energy; loud and a lot of school spirit. And Zach’s kind of the opposite; really quiet, and doesn’t say a lot. But they’re both great kids. They did a really good job bowling,” said bowling coach Lenny Raley, “So, I’m proud of Bullitt East, for offering it and being allowed to have them out there representing our school and community and they did a fantastic job today.”
