    2022 Middle School Singles Tournament Final Results

    For the first time in 3 years, we were able to hold the Middle School Singles Championship at Richfield Bowl on Sunday, May 20th. The tournament attracted 87 boys and 46 girls for a total of 133 bowlers.  The field was cut to the top 32 boys and top 32 girls for match play to determine the tournament champion. One of the most exciting parts of the day turned out to be the tiebreaker for the 32nd and final spot for the boys as Dustin Farnham from Atherton defeated Andrew Ford from Swartz Creek in a 2 frame roll off with the entire bowling alley rooting them on.

    Before match play begin awards were given out to the high qualifiers and the high games for both the boys and girls. For the boys Sam Southard from Grand Blanc was the high qualifier with a 703 total with handicap. The high boys game in qualifying was Jacob Wildey from Lapeer who had a 243 actual that turned into a 277 with handicap and was the high game of the day. The high qualifier for the girls was Brianna Patterson from Byron with a 735 series and she was also awarded the high girls game award in qualifying with a 252 game. Each bowler received a $25 scholarship for these scores.                                                                                                                                                                   Pictured left to right are Jacob Wildey from Lapeer, Sam Southard from Grand Blanc and Brianna Patterson from Byron.

    Once qualifying was complete we moved into match play with the top 32 boys and top 32 girls facing off with a one game match with the winner moving on. As the field dwindle down to the final 4 on the boys side we had Evan Livingsston (Flushing) bowling against Dominic Dilts (New Lothrop) and Joseph Bennett (Genesee Catholic) against Lincoln Godin (New Lothrop). Dominic and Lincoln won their matches to set up the all New Lothrop final and Dominic bowled his career high game in the final with a 183 actual that swelled to a 255 with handicap and it was just too much for Lincoln to overcome as he put a final score of 211.  Dominic received a $50 scholarship for winning the tournament and the other 3 boys in the final 4 received $25 scholarships.

    On the girls side as the field was pared down to the final 4 we had Amelia VanDenheede (Flushing) bowling against Delaney Vanier (Kearsley) and Sierra Arnold (Lakeville) bowling against Adrianna Braden (Flushing). Amelia and Adrianna moved into the finals to set up the all Flushing final and Adrianna Braden prevailed with a 249 to 223 victory in the finals. Adrianna received a $50 scholarship for winning the tournament and the other 3 girls in the final 4 received $25 scholarships.

    Boys Final 4 – Left to Right – Evan Livingston, Joseph Bennett, Lincoln Godin, Dominic Dilts.

    Final 4 girls – Left to Right – Delaney Vanier, Sierra Arnold, Amelia VanDenheede, Adrianna Braden.

    In its 13 season, the 2022 Flint Metro Bowling Conference (FMBC) Middle School Season is finally here and we have a record number of 92 teams!

    Last Saturday, March 26th was the first match between 2 houses (Richfield Bowl and Colonial Lanes).

    Oxford Bowling is back at it! Coach Zene Wynkoop made a bet with his girls that if they bowled over a 200 baker, he would wear a tutu. They delivered with a 221 baker game (pictured left).

    We also have a high score to announce for Brandon schools, Caleb Diem bowled a 200 game.

    High School Bowling Season for 2020-2021 in Question

    Aug21

    It is currently August 21st and all bowling centers in the lower half of the state of Michigan are still closed per the Governor’s orders. It appears that she may be opening some bowling centers in the next few weeks with limited capacity due to the Corona Virus. The MHSAA just released a statement yesterday that all winter sports are going as planned as of right now which means that all MHSAA rules apply so the 4 person rule for out of season applies to bowling as soon as school begins in early September, this will limit any out of season practices for bowling so this means there will be no bowling camps or summer/fall practice sessions that can be scheduled unless it is 4 people or less. Rumors are out that bowling will be limited in the Winter with no tournaments allowed because the bowling centers will have to practice social distancing, so if there is a high school bowling season it appears it will be limited with competitions and when bowling matches there will be no jamboree style conference matches unless the governor lifts her restrictions. Follow the MHSAA website for updates and stay in contact with your high school bowling coaches and athletic directors because this situation changes daily.
