Head bowling coach Josh Johnson said, "we were extremely pleased today with the effort of everyone. The boys continue to bowl great. Today's two-game total of 2172 ties our school record. The girls had a real push today from a very good Lakeview squad. They responded well and found a way to get the win. It was also great to have a JV opportunity for our other bowlers. With 33 bowlers it can be hard to find those opportunities for all of them. We did see some really good things from everyone today and we look to build on that effort."
