Versailles Varsity Bowlers Victorious
Boys Varsity Bowlers Defeat Minster
Girls Varsity Down St. Marys
The Varsity Boys Bowlers bounced back strong after the close match last week against St. Marys.
The match started out very close with Versailles winning the 1st game
878 to 834. “Home Field” advantage may have had something to do with
this. However, the Tigers showed the Wildcats they are for real again
this year by firing a 988 to their 769 the second game. The Baker Games
were dominated by Versailles. The games were 201-147, 243-147, 201-171,
174-144 and 186-186. Versailles ended up winning the match 2,871 to
2,397.
“I am really starting to see a bunch of improvement in our first year
Varsity players. With one of our starters, Jordan Groff, out with a
foot injury, our sophomore bowlers came through and filled the void.”
The Tigers were led by Nathan Peters with a 247, Michael Davidson 224 and Brandon Groff with a 214 game.
WOHSBC Conference action will not take place this week as the Tigers,
for the 2nd straight year, qualified for the Ohio High School
Invitational Kickoff Bowling Invitational in Columbus. This is the
largest High School Team Tournament in the country. They will be
competing against the top High School Bowling Teams in Ohio. To be
invited for the tournament, the team must have either won their
conference or made it to the District OHSAA tournament the previous
season.
Versailles Girls Varsity Down St. Marys
The St. Marys Roughriders who finished in the top 8 at the OHSAA State
Tournament last season were ready to take on the Versailles Lady Tigers
in Minster on Saturday, November 24th. “There is no doubt this
match is going to be a tough one as St. Marys is a solid team. If you
girls put up a solid day, there is no doubt we can win this match,”
said Head Girls Coach Tyler Phlipot.
The girls were ready as they started off the 1st game all business. The
girls rolled an 855 to St. Mary’s 738. As the 2nd game
started and continued, the Roughriders were feeling the heat from the
Lady Tigers. Versailles fired a 957 game to their 790. Megan Monning
rolled a 232, Danielle Cochran a 226 and Brooke Wehrkamp 225. With 5
Baker games to go, the Tigers were up 284 pins.
St. Marys was not giving up, although 284 pins is a lot to make up in 5
Baker Games. The games ended up 171-144, 156-214, 150-173, 157-159 and
139-148. Versailles ended up defeating the Roughriders 2,585 to 2,366.
“I stuck around after the boys match to not only be a fan, but to help
out Tyler and the girls as much as I could. I really thought this match
was going to a lot closer, but our girls showed everyone there what
they can do. What a great win for the team!”
WOHSBC Conference action will not take place this week as the Lady
