Boys Bowling: Dobberstein signs with Kishwaukee College

Senior student-athlete becomes first RTHS male to commit to Kougars

Posted

The new Kishwaukee College bowling program has added another Rochelle Township High School student-athlete to its roster for the 2020-21 season.

Senior Jordan Dobberstein signed with the Kougars this past week, becoming the first male and the third current or former RTHS student-athlete (Katie Dummer and Cassie Moore) to commit to the Kishwaukee College team. Dobberstein spent one season with the Hubs, and he was one of three seniors to compete for Rochelle this winter under head coach Jim Lyles.

“I’m looking forward to meeting new people and bowling with previous friends of mine,” Dobberstein said. “I chose Kishwaukee College because it’s a short drive from home and I’ve heard good things about the college. My coach at RTHS helped me prepare for college by helping me do my absolute best and work with what I have.”

Dobberstein spent most of his lone season with the junior varsity team, but he moved up to varsity during Rochelle’s Senior Night matchup against Streator, where he rolled a high game of 185 and helped the Hubs take one game from the Bulldogs. Dobberstein said he plans to study political science in order to pursue a career in politics after college.

“Jordan was a very hard worker and he was always willing to do anything he could to get better,” Lyles said. “This season was Jordan’s first year of competitive bowling, but I’m very excited that he signed to continue bowling at Kishwaukee College.”
