Against Swartz Creek, the Hornets were led by Senior Kayla Emmendorfer who rolled a 234 and  184 for a total of 418 and an average of 209.

Emmendorfer was pleased with her performance.

“It was a good feeling,” she said. “I’m just glad I bowled well to help the team.”

Against Flushing, senior Haleigh Rybka led the team with a 209.5 average.

Rybka said, “Quite frankly, I didn’t know I led the team.”

Junior Alexxa Flood had the next best average for Kearsley with a 197.
