Bowling At Its Finest

My Saturday was filled with much work, all of it rewarding.    The final stop of the day was at Mel’s Lone Star Lanes, in Georgetown, Texas.    The entire bowling alley was the scene of the mens’ bowling competition for the statewide Special Olympics Winter Games.   Inspiring athletes arrived from all over Texas, most of them accompanied by their coaches, but also their loving families.  Let me tell you folks, these guys had all the right moves.  One particular young man I’ve photographed a few times since returning to Texas was Jared Friemel, a Georgetown resident and graduate of Georgetown High School.   In his senior year, Jared was crowned Homecoming King.   Jared is an inspiring young man who now works for the Round Rock Express, our area minor league baseball team.   His Special Olympics team is the Cen-Tex Rockets.   That’s Jared in the first few photos.   These photos were taken for my friends at the Williamson County Sun.
