BOTSE Live: Pins Competing Through Long Rallies and Longer Days

After weather stalled competition across the region, BOTSE has demanded patience and persistence from pin hitters. With uneven sets, tired legs, and momentum swinging quickly, production hasn't always come clean — but competitiveness still shows. These five pin players earned recognition for how they stayed involved, handled pressure, and continued to impact matches live when rhythm was hard to find.    Hokanson showed balance and awareness on the pin. She stayed composed under pressure and continued to find ways to contribute when rhythm stalled. Her shot selection reflected patience. That approach plays well in a long tournament setting. ~ Z.R. Nix @BenchtoBeast_prepdigga     Luttrell stayed involved even when touches were limited. She competed on every point and didn't drift through rotations. Her engagement helped extend rallies and keep pressure on opponents. That energy translated clearly live. ~ Z.R. Nix @BenchtoBeast_prepdigga     Swinton brought physicality and intent to the outside. She stayed aggressive through longer rallies and didn't shy away from tough situations. Her competitiveness showed as momentum shifted. She played like someone comfortable handling responsibility. ~ Z.R. Nix @BenchtoBeast_prepdigga     Arienzo competed with confidence and didn't fade when play became uneven. She stayed aggressive without forcing swings and continued to apply pressure late in points. Her effort level stayed high across rotations. The willingness to battle stood out live. ~ Z.R. Nix @BenchtoBeast_prepdigga     Worley stayed composed on the pin and didn't rush opportunities when rallies extended. She remained engaged defensively and worked to stay available in transition. Her consistency showed as matches tightened. That steadiness matters in a grind‑heavy weekend. ~ Z.R. Nix @BenchtoBeast_prepdigga    BOTSE has rewarded pin hitters willing to stay patient and competitive when conditions aren't perfect. These players didn't wait for clean looks — they stayed involved, managed pressure, and competed through the grind. In a weekend shaped by fatigue and unpredictability, their effort stood out live.Note to GA Athletes:   If you'd like to be considered for future coverage, please send me your high school season schedule and share a little bit about yourself so I can come support you and share your story.
