COMET ZONE’S STUDENT ATHLETE OF THE MONTH: January 2023, Caden Graham

Andrew Little | Sports Editor

Senior Caden Graham is leading the charge for the GMC-leading boys’ bowling team to a hot start to their season. He leads the conference with a 218.8 average and is in the top three in total pins. The Comets are currently 6-0 and 3-0 in conference play. They are led by a talented senior class including Graham, Kyle Brackenridge, Timmy Hollenbeck, Aiden Hunt, Jake Moyer, Ogden Nijakowski, and Jack Riley.

Graham has finished as the Comets’ top scorer in four matches this season. He has averaged over 200 pins in seven of his nine matches.

He started the season strong with a 215-pin game in the Kickoff tournament in Columbus and exploded in his second match with a 483-pin series (241.5 average) against St. Xavier. Graham kicked off January with his best match yet at home against Colerain. He set a season-high with a 248-pin second round and finished the match with a 489 series. That led the way for the Comets. He followed up that performance two days later at the Back to School Tournament by rolling a 244 in
round one and 233 in round two.

His consistently strong performances are a major reason the Comets are leading the conference. Graham is currently the top bowler in the GMC, and his continued success will help the Comets as they work to defend last year’s conference title.
