Have you heard? Our boys bowling team won their conference championship. Then last Saturday we went to regionals and finished 8th out of 18 schools for the team event. After a grueling day our missed the cut by only 234 pins. The boys made a great showing in the singles competition.

Followed by Haneef Hampton 39th, Devin Harris 48th, Hunter Conolly 64th, Jonavan Hare 72nd, and rounding up the top 100, Dylan Ashbaugh 77th. At the State Finals, Anthony grinded out all day and finished a respectful 18th out of more than 60 bowlers. Congratulations to Anthony and the boys team for a great season. On the girls side: The girls also had a great season, but, unfortunately plagued all season with missing bowlers to fill an entire team. But they showed great heart and never let that slow them down. Regionals team event: We finished 14th with only 3 girls. A very hard task. In the singles competition, they also made a good showing. Hope Dunn finishing 22nd, Zoe Wazny 39th, and Emma Lowry 78th.
