Don't forget to Spring Forward if you haven't already!
Three years ago I created JH Bowling and I remember thinking to myself why do you just create more work yourself? Probably one of the better things I ve done because counting TODAY our JH BOYS bowlers made it 3 STATE appearances in as many years of existance. AND our JH GIRLS bowlers qualified for their first ever STATE appearance. Yes, it was a good day in Bluford-Farrington sports. Izzy Andrew's was the 10 highest individual girl today while sibling Tiernyn was 3rd. Ethan Thompson finished as the boys 8th highest individual. Overall the Boys finished 7th and the girls 4th. Next up is the aforementioned STATE Tourney next Saturday in St. Claire. Way to go bowling Trojans!!!
