This tourny is open to select schools that eather went to state last year or finished 1-5 in districts or 1-5 in sectionals. So the very best of the best were there. Its the only time both division 1 and 2 are bowling head to head.

In the Girls Division, the Lady Indians qualified 16th out of 32 of the best teams in the state in both Division 1 and 2. In the second round they bowled the # 1 seed, Mentor High School. Our ladies took out Mentor 3-0. You could say it was the upset of the Tournament. In the round of 8, our Ladies faced Fairmont. The Lady Indians came out of the gate with a victory to take a 1-0 lead on Fairmont. Fairmont came back with a game 2 victory to make it 1-1. The lady Indians won game three to take a 2-1 lead.

The girls from Fairmont got the the game 5 win to advance to the final 4. The Lady Indians proved that they will definitely will be a contender at this years State Championship.

The boys qualified 11th out of 32 of the best teams in the state in both Division 1 and 2. In the second round they bowled Urbana High School. The boys took a 2-0 lead in the best of five. Then Urbana came back to tie it up 2-2. We went to the fifth and final game to make it to the next round where our boys came up two pins short, 192-194. They showed a lot of heart and never gave up and as a coach that’s all you can ask for. Urbana bowled well, and we will see them again.

Total pin fall for the ladies was 2356. Wilmington scored 1571.

“We are pleased with the performance of our bowlers at this point,” said coach Jeff Miller. “We have a lot of work to do yet. Our last match was our weakest set we have rolled all season. We came out with the win but it just goes to show that we cant let our guard down EVER. Coach Ison and Rhoads feel like at this point we are going to put in some extra work with our teams to keep them sharp. Its easy to go to a venue like the big state tournament and do as well as we did just to come home and not roll well. When we get used to bowling on a different oil pattern from the state tournament to our normal house pattern there was problems making that transition. We have a long way to go.
