Sports : VS bowlers compete in baker tournament, split at Cascade

By Amber Pattee, VS Coach The baker tournament at Lancer Lanes was very successful for our team as we averaged over 28 pins higher with a 170.2 average for the day which was the highest over average compared to other teams. We finished 12th out of 20. 8 of the teams were 3A schools. We are currently in 1A for bowling. There are no individual scores as this was only a baker tournament. The Girls who competed were: Taylor Berry, Korey Murdock, Madison RIppel, Erin Wood, Connie Upmeyer and Christina Harrelson. Last night we competed against Cascade in their home Bowling Alley. Due to a scheduling conflict, several of our bowlers stepped up and bowled varsity for the first time. These kids put forth their best effort and bowled very well. The girls Varsity and JV teams beat their competition and the Varsity boys teams came very close. The results are below. Girls Varsity- This Team was led by Senior, Erin Wood.
