Well, grab your bowling shoes.

High school bowling season is rolling.

We caught up with the boys and girls team from Palo Verde High School as they hit the lanes for practice.

-Panthers on three.

One-two-three!

-Panthers!

(John Read) I was a student at CCSD back in, I graduated 1993.

There was bowling then, so it's been around as long as I've been a student.

It kind of just fell into my lap.

Nobody else wanted the job, and, you know, I said yes.

And it was one of the best decisions I've ever made as a teacher.

I love it.

(Logan Hollander) My dad was a bowler, so he kind of started me at a young age, and I just loved it from there.

(Caitlyn Bixenmann) My grandma and grandpa were high school sweethearts, and they met on a high school league.

They got me into bowling.

-I think the best part about coaching is it's the interacting with the kids.

As a teacher, you have a certain relationship with the students that you don't get to really get to know them, you know, on a personal level.

But here in the coaching world, I can talk to them as people.

It's a lot more personal, and I really enjoy that.

(Mason-A Koni Tanare) Making friends along the way, like connecting with other people and, you know, just socializing in general, it just, it just helps a lot.

-I like being part of the team.

It's an experience.

You get to, you know, boost each other's confidence.

You get your confidence boosted with the other team.

-I'd say working with a team is probably best.

But if you want to do like solo, you gotta bowl like professionally and whatnot.

-It's usually the mental game.

The mental game is always hard, and it's always just tough every time you don't get a strike.

-Basically, the season goes from Thanksgiving to Valentine's Day.

The boys are defending two-time state champions.

Girls, they did very well last year.

They just came up short in the playoffs.

I think we lost in semifinals.

-Oh, yeah.

They will win State for sure.

I mean, their varsity team is super strong.

I mean, Logan Hollander.

The rest of the cast is spot on.

-Well, we've won at two State in a row.

So hopefully we can get a third, and hopefully we can be the best that we can possibly be.

-I'll definitely go into collegiate bowling, for sure, for UNLV.

-Because I haven't won a tournament in the past, so hopefully I can be a better bowler and learn a lot.

-Hopefully go to college for bowling.

If not, maybe the PBA Tour just immediately or, you know, a couple times.

-It's a wonderful sport.

More kids should play it, especially girls.

There are so many opportunities for college scholarships for girls in bowling.

They just need to get out there and start practicing and playing and get out there and do it.

And it's a wonderful sport.

-We agree.

Bowling is a wonderful sport.

And by the way, have to say this: Go Panthers!
