Freshman Kayla Jeppesen stuns in her first ever varsity meet, dropping a whopping 226 and 180 in her debut. Marisa Schneider suffers a broken bowling ball, but manages to save a 389 series as the girls roll to a 2577-2303 victory and remain unbeaten on the year. Complete results here.

The boys had a slow start to the night, struggling to find a shot until the second game. Things turned around the second game and in baker, but it was too late to dig out of the hole they dug as the boys fall 2778-2940. Ethan Hennings had the high game of 222, with Noah Jeppesen and Cole Ross close behind (212 and 201 respectfully). Complete Results here.

Boys take down visiting Oelwein with a big 800 pin win, setting a high total score for the year.

Lifting tonight after school, full team practice at 4:30. See you on the lanes.

The W-SR girls shot 2606 on Friday night, topping the Denver girls by over 700 pins, and also putting up the 4th highest score in team history. The girls production came through a balance attacked that had all girls averaging over 150 on the night and a baker series of over 900 pins, something that has only happened 3 times in team history

The boys were also successful on Friday. Ethan Hennings led the boys with a 237 game and a 424 series. Starting off bakers with a 244 game sealed the victory for the Go-Hawks.

Bowlers will be back in action on Tuesday as they head to Grundy Center for the first time ever. Early start time… 3:15.

The girls were victorious at Vinton on Tuesday 2415-2132 to remain unbeaten at 3-0. Senior Marisa Schneider led the way 199,178/377. The girls put the match away by starting with a 210 game in bakers.

The boys suffered their first loss, falling 2735-3029 to what appears to be a state ready Vinton-Shellsburg team. Lane Shears was back in action Tuesday and led the way 199,223/422. The boys tightened the match after winning the first 2 baker games, but gave up ground in the final 3.

The Go-Hawks are back in Action Friday against Denver at Panther lanes in Tripoli.

Both Boys and Girls teams were successful at Columbus on Friday, improving to 2-0 on the year.  

The varsity boys had 3 new faces on varsity this week, showing some of the deep bench we have.  Cole Ross (154,153/307), Gabe Holden (136,163/299), and Seth Benschoter (147,173/320) all got their first start on Varsity, but it was senior Noah Jeppesen leading the way again (216,205/421) as the Go-Hawks win 2581 to 2404.

The varsity girls won 2280 – 1948 with the top series coming from Brynne Steckelberg(167,142/309) and high game from Jentry Eick (119,183/302).  Demonstrating how deep the bench goes on the girls side was Rachel Jebe(160,153/313) with big numbers off the JV team.

We will see all bowlers on Monday.
