On December 29, at Park Center Lanes, the girls team took second place at a baker tournament.

“The girls were bowling well and qualified 7 out of 8 teams,” said Coach Jackson. “It came down to Cedar and Northview to determine who would win. It was the 10th frame and Northview needed a strike to beat us. They got that strike, beating us by one pin. It was a great game.”

The girls had a match Monday January 11 at Spectrum Lanes against Wyoming and won. During the match, Allyson Marvel bowled a 265 game.
