The senior Trowers, who was keeping score on a tablet and is the team manager, gave his son a hug for a knock that included eight composed fours driven over the men's boundaries.
In his third camp, the Bay U12-13 rep thanked his personal coach, Dale Smidt.
"It's a big achievement because it was one of the goals I set and it's an honour to get on the Taradale club honours' board."
This summer Trowers had racked up seven half tons so a century was imminent.
He has applied for a NBHS cricket scholarship, believed to be an inaugural one, so fingers crossed.
Trowers, who can bowl but isn't because of an injury, gravitated towards cricket at the age of 5 because it offered individualism in a team environment.
The Nigel Hill-coached Taradale team finish their campaign today in a 45-over match against Poverty Bay at Marewa Park, Napier.
Camp co-ordinator Craig Findlay emphasises the tourney is "about enjoyment and participation" but coaching and development is equally imperative for the 108 teams this season.
Wellington have 36 teams, the Bay 28 and Northern Districts 24. Auckland have nine and Central Districts eight.
The camp was established in 1979 with Ray Mettrick at the helm before he retired in 2001. The Hawke's Bay Cricket Association took over, with Findlay assuming the mantle for all but one of the years.
New Zealand and first-class players such as Ross Taylor, Jamie How, Jeetan Patel, Jacob Oram, Jesse Ryder, Peter McGlashan, Kane Williamson, Ben Stokes (England), Sara McGlashan and Sophie Devine are among those who have competed in the camps during the January school holidays.
This summer 1296 children will compete, while 216 coaches and managers will either start or continue their roles.
The youngsters will play 267 games in 17 days and at the end of each day's play the captains will introduce their players of the day for a mention on the honour's board at the Riverbend Camp in Havelock North for juniors or at the NBHS hall for the senior cricketers.
