QUOTABLE "It was my freshman year, and I tried out for the basketball team and didn't make it. My brother, Taylor, heard about bowling from a girl at our school, and we both tried out and happened to make it. We had never really bowled before, and we spent all summer and spent all our money at the bowling center trying to get better."
