Brigette Holsapple (160, 169, 169: 498 series). “The lane conditions
were challenging, drying up quick and forcing the girls to make
appropriate adjustments. I felt like the girls handled this
challenge well,” said Coach Phlipot.
After the cut the Tigers took on Napolaen, OH in match play baker
format. Scores were: 150(V)-159(N), 140(V)-136(N), 129(V)-179(N),

unable to finish with our spare game but the girls should be proud to
finish 4th among 16 great schools including 2 from Division 1 and 2
defending State Champion squads. Our game will continue to come
together if the girls make a strong effort to focus in these next few
weeks at practice,” said Coach Phlipot.

season play,” said Coach Mike Groff. High scores for the Tigers
