BOWLING

Sidney sweeps Piqua

Sidney’s bowling squads swept a road match at rival Piqua on Thursday.

The boys defeated the Indians 2,372-2,327 to improve to 8-3 overall and 5-3 in Greater Western Ohio Conference American North play. Kaden Abbott had a 469 series, Jaxon Rickey had a 411 series and Drake Cromes had a 391 series.

“Kaden was huge tonight,” Sidney coach Trent Knoop said. “He was the key factor for our win. We got off to a great start the first team game, but some bad spare shooting made it much closer than it should it of been the second game. Luckily, Kaden was locked in the whole match. Happy to have this freshman on our team.”

The girls team beat Piqua 1,609-1,538 to improve to 3-8 and 2-6. Camryn Smith had a 304 series, Kate Miller had a 278 series and Callie Fleming had a 269 series.

“Great win for us tonight,” Knoop said. “Going into Piqua’s house, it being a rivalry game, was a big one. We bowled as well as we have all season. We only had five girls tonight, and they all played a big role into the win.”

The wins by the squads earned Sidney a point in the Piqua vs. Sidney all-sports trophy race. The Yellow Jackets have a 10.5-4.5 lead after Thursday’s wins. The first school that reaches 11.5 points clinches the trophy.
