Bowling is a sport that could be right down your alley. Did you know that Freedom has a bowling club? A pretty good one at that. The bowling club has some pretty talented players and a dedicated coach, Nate Schwab. Schwab is the volunteer coach and he has been bowling for 25 years. He started working at Baden Bowl at age 13. Schwab volunteer coaches for Freedom’s bowling club because of the students who are on a league at Baden Bowl. Many students from FHS are on the bowling league at Baden Bowl, and they compete every Saturday morning. Schwab saw that those students were committed to bowling, and after being asked a few times to coach for the new bowling club, he couldn’t say no. “Commitment makes an excellent bowler,” said Schwab. This year it’s only a club, but they are planning on being an official bowling team next year. Schwab plans on sticking with the club in the future when they become a team. There are a lot of really great members of the Freedom Bowling team, including Leah Penson. Penson enjoys bowling every Saturday at Baden Bowl and is a member of a league there. Penson loves bowling mostly because it’s “always fun, but can be a real relaxing thing to do.” She has been bowling for 10 years and has also earned a $7,000 scholarship from bowling. Penson started bowling because of her parents; they are both very good bowlers and have been taking her with them since she was a little girl. Another member of Freedoms bowling club is Jeremy Steder. He has been bowling for five years. Some advice he would give to new bowlers is to keep practicing and use your head. Bowling is a great sport and it’s an opportunity to hang out with friends, enjoy a few laughs, and exercise a little. If you are interested in joining the bowling club, just show up at Baden Bowl on any Thursday at 3:30 with 6 dollars, and bowl away.
