ROCHELLE — Cassie Moore spent two years with the Rochelle Township High School bowling program, but the Lady Hub senior finished her final season wanting more. She’ll have her opportunity next winter, when she makes her debut with the Kishwaukee College Lady Kougars.

Moore signed her National Letter of Intent to play for Kishwaukee College and head coach Ranzy Collins earlier this month. Moore bowled on the Rochelle varsity team for two years, and she was the program’s lone senior girl this winter. Moore will reunite with former Lady Hub standout Katie Dummer, who also signed to bowl for the Lady Kougars.

“I only bowled here for two years and I thought my experience was too short,” Moore said. “I want to achieve more goals… I enjoyed being with the team and my teammates really encouraged me. I know what to expect next season. Knowing someone on the team is going to give me more confidence, and I know I can go to Katie if I need help.”

Moore went out for the Rochelle program her junior season before returning as the team’s only senior bowler this season. She helped the Lady Hubs lock down three victories this winter including two wins over Ottawa during Interstate 8 Conference play. As the lone senior, Moore said she was able to become a leader for the younger players on the team. She also said she plans to study criminal justice in hopes of becoming a police officer and moving up to detective.

“I learned that bowling takes a lot of patience,” Moore said. “I learned not to get frustrated right away, and I learned that the sport takes time and practice. The girls looked up to me, and they really encouraged me to continue on and do better… I want to give back to my community.”
