Bowling teams off to hot start

Looking to make an extended postseason run, both Boulder City High School bowling programs come into the season high with expectations within the 3A classification.

“I believe both teams are going to be very competitive this season,” head coach Garth Schulz said. “The girls bring back experience and the boys have a few newcomers that should help us compete.”

Against Sloan Canyon on Dec. 9, the Eagles won decisively 1,850-1,392 behind Wainwright (540) and (454).

Ben Porter (447) and Schenk (409) also contributed to the winning effort.

Starting the season off with a 3-0 record, the girls soundly defeated Canyon Springs and Sunrise Mountain, while picking up a forfeit victory over Sloan Canyon.

Against Canyon Springs, Maeson Powers led a 1,464-1,351 winning effort with 440 points, while Zoey Dieter added 390 points.
