Greenwich Bowling Has Youth to Spare

My cousin Billy made it in the paper/online! I also learned his coach is Coach Gioffre, the nicest gym teacher I've had at GHS!
[Among those leading the Greenwich High School bowling team this year are, from left, captains Dan Feeney and Bill O'Connor.]
Coach: Wayne Gioffre, head coach

How long have you been coaching?

I have been coaching the bowling team for the past six years.

Who are the key bowlers you lost from last year's team?

Some of our key players lost from last year are Jack Zimmerman, Yuta Okazaki and Nick Longo.

Who is returning to the squad this year?

Some of our key players returning from last year are captains Billy O'Connor and Dan Feeney, Sara Rosenband, Packy Hanrahan, Matt Acosta and Andrew Feeney.

Who needs to have an impact year in order for you to be successful?

The impact players are O'Connor, Dan Feeney, Packy Hanrahan, Taiel Gookool and Dom Maniscalo.

What are your team's strengths and weaknesses?

Strengths: We have a great group of motivated players who love the sport, and we have great leadership.

Weakness: Some of our top players are young, with little varsity experience.

What are the key matchups this coming season?

Fairfield, Platt Tech, Notre Dame of Fairfield.

What is your overall season outlook?

If our young players can step up early, our season has tremendous potential. We always take our matches one at a time and never look ahead to our next opponent.
