Kyler Stockstill of Eisenhower was chosen as the JOMA Bowler of the Month for October. Stockstill had the second highest series average (731) on the Tigers’ team last season.

“I started bowling when I was seven through a 101 class at West Acres,” Stockstill said. “For several summers, I bowled a Summer Pizza League with my family. Right before my 8th-grade year, I knew I wanted to bowl in High School for Eisenhower.”

Last season, Stockstill finished 15th at the 5-1A Tournament and was a regional champion and he has put in work in the offseason to have an even better season in 2022.

“I currently work with Pat Henry, who is my private coach,” Stockstill said. “I bowl in multiple leagues each week and practice in between. I currently bowl at West Acres and Northrock. I am always practicing on areas to improve my game.”

Stockstill also participates in Unified Bowling at Eisenhower, which matches bowlers with Special Olympic Athletes to compete with other high schools in the state. Outside of bowling, Stockstill also is a member of the Madrigals and concert choir.

Stockstill is already attending WSU Tech, while still being in high school. He is taking classes in Police Science.

Next year he will be bowling at Newman University and plans to major in criminal justice, with a minor in psychology. He hopes to get his Master’s Degree in Intelligence Analysis from Michigan State.
