I told the team that this is why we practice from week to week because you never know when you might be called up to varsity to help the team win a match. Both Kyla and William stepped up today and bowled great to help the team win this important Southern Division match against Stillwater. Josh and Jon had their best triples of the year to lead the team to the victory. Both Eric and Jennifer bowled great to give the team the best match total, 3,670, of the season.
