Bowling for 2026 – 2027 Season!!!

We are always looking for bowlers and next season is no exception!!! We have a boys team and a separate girls team.

The High School teams are open to all students in grades 8 – 12 and tryouts will be Monday, August 24, 2026 and Wednesday, August 26, 2026. You do not need to be at both tryout dates but you do need to have all paperwork filled out in Final Forms before tryouts in August. 

No experience or equipment required. The time commitment for the regular season can be as little or as much as your schedule will allow. I’ve had several students over the years that participate in other Fall/Winter activities including band, cross country, etc.

If you THINK you might be interested in joining the team, please join us in June and July for summer practices just for fun. These practices are just once a week and at your leisure. We will have practices on June 4, 11, 18, July 9, 16, 23, 30.  The regular season starts with tryouts in August and ends in early December unless we make the postseason (we usually make the postseason with at least one if not both teams) which carries over into January. Please contact: Coach: Mark Bracher, BRACHER_M@hcde.org or call/text him at (423) 762-4540.

Thank You to everyone who came to the 26/27 High School Golf Tryout yesterday.  The following participants are being asked to come back for the follow-up tryout at SMGCC.  This is scheduled for 7/6/26 and has a planned start time of 3:30 PM.
Olivia Moody
Hadley Borders
Karan Davis
Paul Mann
Robinson McGee
Warrick McDowell
Brock Meadows
Sanders Turley
Luke Schleger
Lucas Welch
Cedar Gill
**IMPORTANT** 2026 Physicals and Final Forms MUST be completed by July 1 to be eligible to participate.
Players will be asked to meet by the SMGCC putting green near the Clubhouse.  We’ll likely not have access to the driving range, so players would need to stretch and practice ahead of the tryout.  Instructions and rules will be given prior to the tryout beginning and will consist of 18 holes for boys & 9 holes for girls.  There should be some time to practice putting prior to teeing off.
Please know that the score in this 2nd round tryout is NOT the final determining factor for making the roster.  The first tryout, 2nd tryout, as well as tournament scoring, are all factors being considered.  Players not listed have secured their roster position.
For those who make the final roster, there will be an in-person parent meeting on Wednesday, 7/8/26 at 6:30 PM at the Pavillion near the Pickle Ball Courts at Althaus Park.

While there are no official tryouts for MSXC, any student planning to run this Fall MUST have a current sports physical (dated AFTER April 15, 2026) and additional forms uploaded to Final Forms and approved by the school trainer prior to their first practice with the team. (If any forms are missing or haven’t been approved by the trainer, your athlete will not be eligible to practice with the team. No exceptions!)
(Make sure you upload the forms as soon as possible to give the athletic trainer ample time to approve them as she needs to approve ALL forms for ALL fall athletes.)
If your child will be joining the team for the first time this fall, please take a few minutes to fill out the contact information form below so I can add their name to our roster:
