With this being Cameron Nelson’s last season with the Grizzlies, he knew he wanted to make it a memorable one.
“Going into my senior season for the Grizzlies I worked on improving team chemistry during the offseason,” Nelson said. “Oftentimes you would see us hanging out outside of bowling or even just going out to eat occasionally. Bowling with your friends is way better than with strangers.”
Not only did Nelson want to improve his skill set, but he also wanted to lead and influence the underclassmen heading into the season.
“I want to become more consistent this year,” Nelson said. “One of my goals is to provide senior leadership to a relatively young team. I want not only to lead by example, but to be the person they come to for guidance. My main goal this year is to get back to state and bring another state championship back to Northwest. For me individually I want to keep my average above 220 this season and place in many tournaments to come.”
Nelson is involved in the ECA Program at Northwest, gaining him access to college courses throughout high school. This has been just one small step towards Nelson’s future.
“I plan on going to Wichita state next year to study entrepreneurship and real estate,” Nelson said. “I dream to start and own my own business. I am working on an associate’s degree currently, so when I eventually get into college I can go straight to my major.”
