WILMINGTON — The East Clinton boys and Blanchester girls won matches Monday at Royal Z Lanes.
The Astros topped the Wildcats 2654 to 2348 with Austin Alloy leading the way with a 391 series. The win puts East Clinton at 8-0 in the SBAAC National Division.
EC coach Dale Wallace said his team struggled early but flourished in the baker games with scores of 193, 259, 202 and 175.
Jarod Daniels had a 254 game for Blanchester.
“The boys were nervous going into this match, knowing East Clinton was in first place,” BHS coach Paul Jackson said. “Boy did it show in the first game. They were rushing to the line and all over the place. Second game they calmed down. The first baker game they were in a groove. We have to stay focused and consistent.
“East Clinton has a good group of boys who are on their game.”
In the girls match, East Clinton had just two bowlers. Serena Williams led with a 232 series.
Blanchester was led by Lainey Dameron who finished with a 303.
“The girls are getting consistent and improving each day,” Jackson said. “We still have a lot of work to do.”
