“It was a close match right down to the last four frames of the last game. Hoosick Falls got off to a good start by winning the first game “1,197” to “1,153” giving them a “44” pin lead. The second game was even closer with Hoosick Falls winning “1,238” to “1,226” giving Hoosick Falls a slim “56” pin lead going into the third game.
The third game was very close going into the last four frames but Fort Edward missed some spares and got some splits while Hoosick Falls did a great job making their spares and got a lot of strikes to win the final game “1,154” to “1,060” winning the title match by a total of “150” pins.
Once again the entire team did a great job staying focused throughout the entire match and fought hard right up to the final frame of the final game. All of their hard work throughout the season paid off in this important match. “I was very proud of their effort today from the Varsity to J.V. to Exhibition bowlers on the team; they all bowled well!” said Coach Lang.[/private]
