Milford High School’s bowling season was fewer than 10 frames into its season when senior Brylie Gold established herself as one of the top scorers in the Eastern Cincinnati Conference.
Against Spencer at The Pin Deck, Gold rolled a two-game series of 213-211 – 424 that included 10 straight strikes over the two games. Her score was 23 pins higher than the best boy’s score, an also impressive 206-195 – 401 by Andrew Ray. Through two matches (four games), Gold had a 186.3 average, second-best in the ECC to Walnut Hills’s Nevaeh Williams (228.8).
Her performance against Spencer came despite a case of nerves that caused her fingers to swell to the point she could barely grip the ball.
“Honestly, bowling is a mental game so I can never tell if it will be a good day. Anything can happen during a match, it is always best to stay cool and be positive,” she said.
Milford coach Rob Rude, 52, a Milford resident, in his second year leading the Eagles, describes Gold as “coachable and highly competitive.”
“Brylie is a good bowler because she is talented and she works hard to get better,” Rude said. “She is still working to improve her focus and consistency so that she will be an even better bowler to help achieve her personal and team goals this season.” Personal goals include placing in the top five individually in the ECC. Gold was 15th in 2023-2024 – her first varsity season – with a 145.7 average.
