“This was another great team effort by the entire team. We had some outstanding scores by both the Varsity and JV teams. We are peaking at the right time just before our League Tournament, League Roll-Off and Sectionals. All their hard work and practice games are beginning to pay off. They know that they must keep working hard to bowl well in these upcoming events. I am very proud how this team pulled together as the season progressed. Because we had so many good bowlers, some of them didn’t get to bowl at the Varsity level as many games as they had hoped, but they kept practicing and waited patiently until they were brought up to bowl. I hope that we can keep bowling these great scores for the post season events,” said Coach Lang.
