Tigers roll to second at District Bowling
On Tuesday, November 28th, the Osmond Unified Bowling team competed in the District 6 championships held at King’s Lanes in Norfolk. After some very impressive bowling, the Tigers came away with the runner-up plaque. The team consisting of: Madison Aschoff, Mackenzie Schmidt, Ashley Wingert, Kayla Wingert, and Dylan Schmit improved on the team’s previous best score by 110 pins.
The Tigers managed to record the two highest games of the day scored by any team; however, some inconsistency in scoring hurt their overall score. West Point-Beemer bowled very consistently throughout the day and managed to post a total pin count of 749 compared to Osmond’s 713. Other team scores were: Norfolk – 667, Wayne – 661, South Sioux City – 621, and Bancroft-Rosalie – 574.
The Tigers saved their best for last. With only one game remaining they were in fourth place trailing WP-Beemer, South Sioux City, and Norfolk. Maddie and Ashley both lead off with strikes and the team never looked back beating every other team by at least 42 pins in the final game!
For the day Maddie had four strikes and three spares; Ashley tallied four strikes and four spares; Dylan recorded two strikes and five spares; Kenzie had two spares; and, Kayla had one strike. Everyone contributed to the success of the team.
This concludes the second season of bowling for the Osmond team. In the past year the bowlers have improved dramatically. Some of the improvement can be attributed to Mainstreet Alley and Dennis Kuhl. The bowling alley allowed the team to practice for free and provided balls and shoes for the competitions as well as practice. Dennis Kuhl opened up the bowling alley for every practice and stayed to help the students with their bowling.
