Last Wednesday, Euclid High School Senior Michael Kalinowski delivered one of the most impressive performances you’ll see on the lanes, rolling a 290 game during a Greater Cleveland Conference Meet at RollHouse in Solon.
Kalinowski opened the game with a 9-spare in the first frame, then caught fire – striking out the rest of the way to finish just 10 pins shy of perfection. His 290 game was the highest score of the day, and another standout moment in his exceptional bowling career at EHS. Later in the match, Kalinowski followed up with a 203 in game two, helping the Panthers secure 5th place at the meet.
This type of performance comes as no surprise to those who have watched Mike compete over the past several years. Last season, he was named the GCC Player of the Year, posting an impressive 212.29 average and finishing 2nd in the Division I Boys Sectional Tournament.
The Kalinowski name is familiar in the Euclid Bowling program. In 2021, Mike’s brother Kyle Kalinowski rolled a perfect 300 game for the Panthers and also went on to perform well at the Sectional and District Tournaments.
Mike wasn’t the only Panther making an impact in Wednesday’s match. Terance Dixon (169 series), Matt Mocadlo (305 series), Alex Smith (127 series), and Ben Obiechina (273 series) helped round out the lineup.
Congratulations to Mike Kalinowski and the entire Euclid Bowling program on a great performance. Let’s hope the Panthers continue to bring skill, focus and pride as they head into the final weeks of their season.
