Coach Lang said, “This was a big win for our team, beating the best team in the Northern Division of our league. We will probably meet them again in the League Championship Match for the overall Adirondack League title in early February. The team started out a little slow in the first game but came on at the end of the game to win by “96” pins. It was really important to get off to a good start against such a good team. The second and third games were closer and the team was able to hang in there and win both games because we made the proper adjustments as the lanes broke down. We practice on these lanes and the team knew how to adjust as the oil was being used up by all the good bowlers using the same line on the lanes. I was very proud of the team and how they didn’t get down if they had a bad frame or bad game. They came back by learning by their mistakes which happens a lot in practice and in previous matches.”[/private]
