Boys and Girls Bowling, State Runners Up
By Coach Jim Kaufman
The Newman Grove Boy’s Bowling Team competed in the Class D State Bowling Championship in Lincoln on February 9 and 10.
The boys bowled on Saturday to determine their bracket seeding. The boys bowled excellent and finished as the number two seed. The team started the first round against Clarkson, and swept the Red Devils in three games.
The next opponent was the Dodge Pirates. Dodge took the Bluejays to a fifth game, before the boys came out on top, three games to two. With the victory it placed the boys in the finals against the Howells Bobcats.
The finals are a televised event, run just like the PBA Professional Tour. The Bluejays put up a valiant effort, pushing Howells to a fifth game, losing by four pins in the 10th frame.
We would like to thank the team consisting of Keith Backus, Tanner Krueger, Jon Dohmen, Jared Rasmussen, Jake Kaufman, John Lorenzen and Josh London, for their fine effort and excellent teamwork. They are a great bunch of guys to work with.
We would like to thank all the parents and fans who followed the team to Lincoln and all year long. It means a lot to the team.

Girls High School Bowlers made to the TV Finals. On Saturday, February 9th, they started a four game series with the girls seated first.
With seven teams bowling the girls got a bye on the first round. Round two girls bowled the team that was fi rst in the league, Scribner, they came out with a three game win in the Baker Games.
With that win the girls were seated first on Sunday, February 10, with a fi rst or second title match with three time State Champions, McCool Junction. I
n game one the girls won, lost game two, three, and four giving McCool Junction their fourth state title in five years.
Three girls placed in the top ten individual series; Olivia Wiese 5th, Shawna Davidson 7th, and Aubrey Strong 8th, they all received certificates.
Team members: freshmen Aubrey Strong; sophomore Olivia Weise; junior Skye Rosno; and senior Shawna Davidson.
Next year 2008-2009 we are hoping for more girls to come out and bowl, we can have seven on a team.
