The three of them are great kids, and they will be missed next year. The entire team put up some good scores again today from varsity down to exhibition. It’s been a pleasure to watch this team improve over the season. We have some good potential bowlers for years to come,” said Coach Lang.

Our total match pins of 3,544 is one of the best that we have had at Hilltop Bowl in many years. Eric bowled great today with his all time best single game and triple. He was in the pocket all day and didn’t miss many spares. He has been bowling steadily better as the season has progressed. I believe that these are the best overall varsity scores, from top to bottom, that we have had all season. This is the scoring that we will need in the next three weeks for our upcoming tournaments,” Coach Lang said.
