This week the boys bowling team took on Vicksburg. They came out on fire and bowled their highest baker game. Then we lost the 2nd baker game by 1 pin. This must have woken something in the team. The entire team rallied together and took control of the game. We only lost two points for both regular games. It was an incredible team effort with everyone stepping up to preserve our undefeated season.
This week the girls bowled unopposed. Even though we didn’t have an opponent, our girls bowled with heart, and fulfilled some personal goals. Leading the way was Hope Dunn with a 175 and 173. Zoe Wazny contributed with a 151.
