Editors Note: Ever since anyone could remember, it has always been a good time to be a member of the Southern Nevada bowling community. With top bowling leagues to bowl in, and top tournaments to participate in on the weekends.  But now, more than ever, it is a good time to be a professional sports fan in the City of Las Vegas as well.

GATES, N.Y. – Bryanna Coté of Tucson, Arizona, doesn’t consider herself a particularly goal-oriented person; nevertheless, she created a list of things she wanted to accomplish during her Professional Women’s Bowling Association Tour career.

Not surprisingly, two of the items on that list were to win a major championship and to one day be named PWBA Player of the year.
