*Thoughts from Coach Brown
From time to time, I like to highlight young athletes that excel in sports that don't get a lot of publicity. This blog is highlighting an outstanding bowler from Oswego, IL.
I went bowling 2-weeks ago and I bowled a 133 with the gutter rails up. Before you start laughing, the guards were not for me. I had a 6 year old and a 7 year old with me, so we as adults wanted to make sure they had a good experience, but none-the-less, I bowled a 133 which was the best score in our group. The young man I'm about to introduce you to should have been present to give all of us some pointers.

A.J. Johnson, a senior at Oswego High, bowled four perfect games in less than a month to set a single-season state record. He rolled his fourth 300 game against Plainfield East High at Parkside Lanes in Aurora to set another state record: 857 pins out of a possible 900 in a three-game series. A.J. was on the AAU Junior Olympic team that won gold in Virginia Beach in August.
Coach Brown's Thoughts:
Now that's a baller, uhmmm, I mean a bowler!!! Keep knocking them down A.J.!!!
