"Coach Ashworth and I were pleased with how our teams did this year. For the first time, we had both boys and girls teams qualify for state. There were several individual records broken, along with individual records broken. The season went fast, but we saw a lot of improvement in our bowlers; whether it be in their average, consistency, or just overall technique." said Coach Lance Heath.
