The girls’ bowling team faced off against Linden in the match that would decide whether or not they would secure another Flint Metro League title on Feb 4.

The Hornets beat Linden 30-0, securing their sixth consecutive conference title.

Senior Haleigh Rybka was excited for the team’s accomplishment.

“It feels good,” Rybka said. “Not many other schools have a team that could do that.”

Only two other sports teams in the league claim longer conference-title streaks. Brandon cheer has seven consecutive titles, and the Fenton girls’ swim team has 10 consecutive titles.

With the win over Linden, the Hornets now have a 52-match win streak in league competition.

Rybka said the Hornets plan to keep rolling.

“We are at 52 and making it 53 this weekend,” Rybka said.
