The Zeeland Bowling Team did not have to go far to find its next Bowling Coach, Anthony DiLaura.  DiLaura, a longtime teacher for Zeeland East High School, replaces former head coach Jeremy Baum who has accepted an assistant role within the program.  

He had the following to say about his new position, "I'm very excited to be coaching the bowling team for Zeeland. I enjoy coaching young men and women and watching them grow as leaders through play and being a part of a team. Besides that, bowling has been our family business for many years so hearing the thunder of pins falling is music to my ears.”

DiLaura inherits a girls team that is coming off a State Championship and a boys program that returns a number of key returnees.  

Zeeland West Athletic Director Travis Spaman and Zeeland East Athletic Director Josh Glerum are excited about having DiLaura as part of their coaching staff:

“Tony’s passion for working with students, background in bowling and history of coaching will serve him well as he leads the program!  We couldn’t be more excited to have Tony continue the tradition of the Zeeland Bowling program.” 

Bowling student-athletes, Coach DiLaura will have an informational meeting on Tuesday, November 3rd after school in the Zeeland East cafeteria.
