TIR: Why did you decide to join the Bowling team?
BF: I decided to join the bowling team because of my former teammate Blake Smith. Blake smith invited me to join a bowling league before the high school season and I ended up loving the sport bowling.
TIR: Last weekend, you broke the Bergen County Bowling Series record. You completed a 1038 series in four games with a 260 average. How are you feeling after this accomplishment?

TIR: You are a Senior at Rutherford High School, what are your plans after graduation? Would you like to continue bowling?
BF: I’m not really sure what I’m going to do after high school but I would like to continue bowling. I might be going to college for bowling, if not I’ll join different leagues that are really competitive.
