From staff reports
The West Ohio High School Bowling Conference held its annual
singles tournament on Sunday at Astro Lanes in Wapakoneta.
Fifty-four varsity boys and fifty-two varsity girls competed
in the tournament with the pool split after the first two games
and then the field whittled down to five after the third game.
The top-seeded bowler was given a bye to the championship game
while the others battled through a “stepladder”
round to get to the finals, meaning one had to win two games
to get to the championship.
In the end, Daniel Ruck of Wapakoneta made it through his two
stepladder games and defeated teammate Brian Garman 236-170
to win the boys varsity title. Ruck beat Ty Kreischer of Crestview
232-181 to advance to play another Redskin in the semifinal.
Ruck beat teammate Ben Wubbenhorst 217-199 to reach the final.
In the girls varsity final, Jessica Reynolds of St. Marys posted
the highest three-game total to advance automatically into the
championship game and then won the championship by beating Celina’s
Sara Wehrhahn 157-131 for the championship.
Wehrhahn, who was the fourth-seed in the stepladder round, beat
fellow Bulldog Kelly Matthews 150-134 before beating Van Wert’s
Tracy East 173-168 to advance to the championship.
In the boys’ junior varisty competition, Wapak’s
David Edgington won the competition, beating top seed Kris Schlater
of St. Henry 219-143 in the championship match. Edgington made
the final after beating Kyle Koesters of St. Henry 211-206 in
the first stepladder game then ousted Celina’s Kyle Everman
202-169 to reach the finals.
Regular WOHSBC action returns this Sunday at Plaza Lanes in
Celina.
