Viking bowlers with their coaches and their 2016 State banner.
The Vinton-Shellsburg boys bowling team has earned its second straight trip to the State Bowling Contest, despite bowling a team score that is about 150 points below their average, during Tuesday's qualifying meet in Vinton.
The Vikings finished first with 2,807 total points at Berry's Lanes, with Waterloo Columbus finishing second. West Delaware was third; Dubuque Wahlert, fourth; Cascade, fifth; and Denver, sixth.
Cole Garwood led the Vikes with a total score of 452.
Coach Amber Pattee said it seemed that the boys were over-confident or complacent pproaching the tournament at their home lanes. Still, they finished 163 points ahead of the second-place team.
In the girls event, the Vikettes finished third. Alyssa Bunge finished third in individual scoring and was waiting on Tuesday evening to see if she earned a spot in the individual state tournament.
The state meet takes place next Monday, Feb. 22, in Des Moines.
