BY JIM MISUNAS jmisunas@gbtribune.com WICHITA – Western Athletic Conference Most Valuable bowlers Daegan Miller and 4-time state qualifier Zoey Mayberry headline Great Bend's four state bowling entries. Panthers Brooklynn Mayberry and 2-time state qualifier Josh Mayberry also qualified for Thursday's 5A state bowling championship a Northrock Lanes. The boys start at 9 a.m. Miller posted a 548 series (187-167-194) and Manning shot 584 (198-142-244) to qualify as individuals. Zoey Mayberry shot 495 (167-168-160) well off her 200 WAC average. Brooklynn Mayberry shot 474 (170-161-143) to qualify. Zoey Mayberry has placed sixth (591), 10th (576) and 13th (565) at the 5A state bowling championship. She's a 2-time state team champion. Brooklynn Mayberry has placed 18th (544) and 51st (448) at 5A state while being a member of the 2024 state champion. "They've all bowled at Northrock multiple times," said Great Bend coach David Feldbauer, who has led the Great Bend girls to two state titles. "When you've bowled there, it keeps their nerves under control. It's about handling the pressure at state." Feldbauer said it requires several practice shots to find out what spot bowlers will roll from. "You can adjust your spot one time or several times during three games depending on how the oil breaks down, or how many players are using a similar line," he said. "When you adjust, you can fix your spot in two frames." The difficulty of the shot at state can vary. "The scores vary from year-to-year," he said. "We're hoping to get at least two bowlers into the top 20 at state."
