The girls bowling team won the championship at the MHSSA Division 2 regional on Friday, Feb. 24, in Mason.

The girls bowling team went to City Limits Bowling Center in Mason on Friday, Feb. 24, for the MHSSA Division 2 regional team event and came home with its fourth regional championship in the last five years.

The Hornets were sitting in third place after two Baker games of 166 and 149. They then came back with two more Baker games of 170 and 236 to take the lead. The final two games consisted of a 156 and 176, keeping them in first.

After the Baker games, the individual games started.

The first individual game for the team was a 1,010. This game consisted of freshman Imari Blond, sophomore Alexis Roof, and juniors Emma Boychuk, Karlee Griffin, and Barbara Hawes.

This was the highest scoring individual game of the day.

The games that followed were a 921 and a 926 for a total pinfall of 3,910, winning the regional title by 644 pins to runner-up Haslett. Armada will also advance to the state final, finishing in third place.

Not only did the Hornets win the regional, their final pinfall would have qualified them for the state final in the boys competition.

It was also the highest pinfall for any girls team in the state at a regional tournament.

The Hornets will now make their way to the Super Bowl in Canton for the state final on Friday, March 3.
