Purple Tornado looks to tear up the lanes at New York State Championships; Fuller and Scott eye an composite team title

NORWICH – On Saturday morning, the Syracuse Oncenter will host 10 boys and 10 girls bowling teams on the newly constructed lanes from all over New York as each are eyeing the top prize; a state championship title.

One of those teams will be the Norwich Purple Tornado, the Section IV representative.

The Tornado posted the highest pin total for the Small School Division at the state qualifying tournament on February 16 with a score of 8196 over the course of nine games.

Now, the Norwich Boys team will be looking to do something no other bowling team for the Tornado has been able to accomplish.

Nick Deady, Scott Manwarren, Dylan Gladstone, AJ Little and Cameron Birtch make up the five members of the Purple Tornado team looking to bring home the program’s first New York State Championship.

In the qualifying tournament, Deady posted one of the highest games bowled during the two session day with a 231. Birtch scored a 226 in the morning session, the highest for the team. Deady’s came in the afternoon.

Manwarren also posted a game 206 game in the morning session, helping the Tornado lead.

All five team members will have to keep their scores around the same at the Oncenter in order to be in contention for the championship.

The Norwich team will start bowling at 8 a.m. Saturday, March 10. Following the Division 2 session, Bainbridge-Guilford’s Ed Fuller and Greene’s Brandyn Scott will take to the lanes.

Fuller and Scott will begin the chances at a state championship at 5 p.m.

Fuller, who bowled a perfect 300 game during the morning session of the qualifying tournament, comes into the Oncenter as Section IV’s top bowler.

His total of 1838 pins through nine games gave Fuller the top spot by 12 pins. Scott finished behind him with a pin total of 1776 and the section’s third highest bowler.

Scott and Fuller are two members of the seven that will make up the Section IV All-Star team and will bowl in the Composite Division.

Since the Syracuse Oncenter does not have a bowling alley, lanes were constructed. But not for the state tournament. The Oncenter will host the United States Bowling Congress Open Championships, which will begin on March 24 and will take place over the next four months.

The construction started January 3 and just finished a week ago. In just a few weeks, an estimated 40,000 bowlers will have played games on the lanes.

The first group to have the opportunity is the boys and girls from 10 sections across the state that will bowling in three different divisions this weekend.

Tickets for the sessions are $8 per session and will available at the door.
