In the first baker game the boys were eliminated by Humphrey High 3-2. The girls defeated Humphrey St. Francis / Lindsay 3-0. The cheers of “Edna” couldn’t keep the team alive as Alma knocked the Lady Jays out 3-1.

Brooke Nelson places third.

Olivia Wiese takes home seventh place.

Three individual bowlers from Newman Grove placed in the top ten. Tanner Krueger was the Class D runner up receiving a medal and certificate. Brooke Nelson placed third and Olivia Wiese placed seventh.
