Any mentors from last year’s team who helped you?

Fishman: “AJ Debello, Zummo, and Heyes Porsche helped me because I was really struggling and seeing them always being at the top of their scores at practice and meets really made me want to do better the next year and improve a ton in the off season.”

What has been your biggest challenges in bowling?

Fishman: “My biggest challenge was and still is adapting to different environments. I have gotten better at getting spares and knowing what to do on different splits.”

Personal, team goals?

Fishman: “My personal goal is to try to be the best teammate and best player I can be and know I can be. My main goal this year and the next two years to come is to go to state all three years.”
