Girls Bowling
Tournament: Lockport Sectional tournament
Result: TFS did not move on to the next round of competition.
After taking fourth at regionals the week before, the TFS Girls Bowling Team did not place well enough to move on to the state competition, due to some injuries and some bowlers not competing.
Coach Terri Bartlett said, “Overall, I was very pleased and impressed with the girls. When someone had a low game, another bowled an outstanding high game. ​They are a young team, they supported each other tremendously and despite the obstacles they faced, they finished the day upbeat with smiles on their faces and all still friends. I couldn’t be more proud of a team.”
