“We got off to a great start with a nice 1,226 total in the first game with some great scores by Stephen, 254, A.J., 246, and Ken, 224. The second game we struggled a little as the lanes broke down and the bowlers were having trouble adjusting to the dry lanes, but they pulled out a win by just 25 pins. The third game the team got their game back on track and bowled a nice 1,182 winning the game by 219 pins. I told the team that it is good that we have matches like this where we have to adjust to changing lane conditions and also where we have to come from behind to win a game in the last few frames. It was a good win after our long vacation break!” said Coach Lang.
