Grant Pillik expected a successful year out of the Bordentown Regional High School boys bowling team. Few, including Pillik, could have foreseen four years ago how much he’d contribute to the Scotties success. Pillik bowled only a handful of games as a freshman. He averaged 113.5 in his limited varsity appearances and had a high game of 158. As a senior now, he had a 265 game at the Burlington County Scholastic League Tournament and has posted a team-high average of 196.69. “I definitely look back and see how far I came,” Pillik said. “I never thought that I would be a 196 average because, I mean, it’s definitely hard maintaining that. I had two bad games and I’m still 196. I never thought I’d be this high on the team as well, and being a leader on the team.” Pillik did, however, expect a big season out of the Scotties in his final year and they have delivered.

improved to 18-0-2 with a 2-0 win over Point Pleasant Boro in the Central Jersey Group 2 quarterfinals. Seeded third, they were scheduled to take on second-seeded Neptune in the semifinals. “I thought the boys would be pretty good,” said Bordentown head coach Ron Jones. “I did lose a couple of really good players, but the other guys, they stepped up.” Jones and assistant coach Kim Fithen were thrilled too to see the Scotties girls bowling team pull off an upset to reach the sectional semifinal. Seeded fi fth in South Jersey, Group 1, the Bordentown girls beat fourthseeded West Deptford, 2-0, to advance to face top-seeded Clayton. Gracie Tyler had the high game (181) and the high set (358) to help the Scotties improve to 17-4. They went 12-1 in the BCSL Patriot Division. “The girls have four losses, but they’ve been few and far between, and they spaced them out,” said Jones. “They’ve had a great year.” Pillik paced the Scotties boys team in their sectional win over sixth-seeded Point Pleasant with a 232 high game and 428 for the two-game series.
