Nobody talk to him, keep it quiet, no jinxes. That was not the case for Neshaminy junior bowler Zak Pfeiffer.
“My teammates and coaches were encouraging me and cheering me on and that really helped,” Pfeiffer said. “And I didn’t really get nervous until my final ball in the third game.”
How he didn’t get nervous until then is remarkable. And what he did before then is even more incredible.
Try a pair of 300 games sandwiched around a 206 game for what was, believe it or not, his third career 300 and first 800-plus series. On top of that, his scores helped Neshaminy top William Tennent at Pike Lanes in Southampton to clinch the Suburban One League National Conference title.
Neshaminy bowling coach in awe
“I’ve been bowling for a long time and have never had a 300,” Neshaminy head coach Deb Wolstenholme said with a laugh.
“And he’s a junior in high school and has three of them. And I don’t think it will be his last one, either. He works hard at it and was really in control. Zak just kept his focus and it was unbelievable to see.”
