(December 22nd, 2014) – TINORA: Both the boys and girls Wauseon Bowling teams came away with victories after visiting Tinora.
The boys of Wauseon were led by Nic Kearney, who bowled a 436 series. Bret Wisda offered up a series score of 369, while Desmond Rapp contributed a 351 series total. Coming out of the team match phase of the contest, the Indians held a slim lead over the hometown Rams, 1835-1719.
In the baker games, Wauseon started strong with a 154 team total in game one. Game two saw their average stay fairly consistent, as they put up a 145. It was the third game that made things interesting, however. The Indian boys dipped significantly in their score, bowling a 99. This allowed Tinora to gain some ground on their guests, with the Rams winning the baker games 469-398.
That margin of victory was not enough for the Rams to usurp the lead from Wauseon, though. The Indians won the match 2233-2188.
The Lady Indians also had a tough match against their counterparts from Tinora.
Aneesa Volkman did the heavy lifting for the team with a 316 series score. Her sister, Aleea Volkman, bowled a 297 series. Teammate Sarah Mikolajcyk added a 286 series to the team’s cumulative score. Heading into the baker games, Wauseon held a tight 102 point lead, 1399-1297.
The girls of Wauseon began the baker games with a 133 score in game one. Game two went similarly, with the squad totaling a 130. Again, game three caused some problems for the Indians. The Wauseon girls bowled a 91, narrowing their lead over the Lady Rams, who took the baker games 377-354.
That 23 point victory was a hollow one for Tinora, however, as Wauseon was still able to claim victory for the overall match, 1753-1674.
