Stratford freshman Gavin Martin has started a bowling club with the help of Coach Tyler Brown.

Gavin began bowling last summer and wanted to make it a club sport for other students.

“They could put on their college resume, and something they could do after school,” he said.

Practices are held at Pin Strikes, a local entertainment complex on Sheraton Drive.

Once the club attracts more students, Gavin said he hopes teams can be developed to form “our own league, where it’s teams of four against other teams in the club.”
