“I’m proud of the improvement we’ve made since late October, but we need to continue to get better daily so we can continue to accomplish our goals as a team.”

Sidney boys, girls lose against Xenia
Sidney’s boys and girls bowling teams lost a Greater Western Ohio Conference American League match against Xenia on Thursday.
The boys lost 2,381-2,266 to fall to 3-1 overall and 1-1 in conference play. Jaxon Rickey had a 437 series, Drake Cromes had a 412 series and Logan Finke had a 407 series.
“This was a not-so-good match tonight,” Sidney coach Trent Knoop said. “Spare shooting was really bad tonight, and that’s why we lost. We really need to clean that up going forward to be a really good team. I think we will. I sure know we are capable. This may have been a good learning experience for the kids, and I look for us to go out Monday and perform much better.”
The girls lost 2,083-1,404 to drop to 0-4 overall and 0-2 in conference play. Emma Hurley had a 289 series, Sarah Bell had a 259 series and Avonell Martin had a 231 series.
“We were without three of our main varsity bowlers tonight because of prior commitments,” Knoop said. “We used some of our JV girls in their place. The good news is they got some key experience from it. We just got to keep learning, and we will get better with time.”
