Sports : VS Bowling 9-Pin tourney was a success; 2014-15 schedule listed

On Saturday, the VS Bowling team had its annual Vinton-Shellsburg 9 Pin Bowling fundraising tournament. In the 9 Pin tournament, bowlers were able to score a strike by knocking down 9 of the 10 pins. We saw a lot of great bowling and everyone had a lot of fun!

We had 79 bowlers compete in the 9 Pin Tournament. One of highlights from the afternoon was the opportunity to win one of the 10 custom designed bowling pins. Another highlight was that family and friends had the opportunity to bowl with some of the VS High School bowling team members. Whether you were an experienced bowler or a beginner all were welcomed.
