BOWLING

Sidney boys 4th, girls 27th in Buckeye Classic

Sidney’s bowling squads traveled to Columbus for the Buckeye Classic on Saturday.

The tournament consisted of three regular games and eight Baker games. The top four teams out of 27 qualified for matchplay.

The boys squad finished fourth overall after losing to Mentor in matchplay 2-1. Kaden Abbott had a 572 series, Jaxon Rickey had a 565 series and Drake Cromes had a 559 series.

“It was an up-and-down type of day,” Sidney coach Trent Knoop said. “We didn’t get off to a good start at all. The shot made it difficult for us, and spare shooting was poor. But we bounced back and had a great third game and a decent Baker set which put us in at fourth.

“Mentor bowled well all day, and they just made a few better shots than us. We had a good day.”

The girls did not qualify for matchplay and finished 27th. Sarah Bell had a 411 series.

“It was a rough day on the lanes,” Knoop said. “Very difficult shot out today. They put down a collegiate pattern and we haven’t experienced anything like that. It was a great learning experience.”
