Hopewell Bowling Team Suffers First Loss of the Season

The Hopewell Viking men suffered their first loss of the 2023-24 season to the perennial juggernaut and division favorite Montour bowling team on Thursday at Crafton-Ingram Lanes.

Despite the loss, the Vikings gave the undefeated Spartans a formidable challenge, particularly in the initial game of the showdown. Fueled by Sophomore Brayden Mowry’s stellar performance, marked by a career-high game of 228, the Vikings came agonizingly close to an upset, narrowly missing out in a fiercely contested ninth frame. Notably, this marks the first 200+ game recorded by the Hopewell Bowling team this year. Adding to the strong showing, Daniel Early contributed a noteworthy high series of 543 for the Vikings.

On the women’s front, junior captain Jenna Willy led the charge with a series totaling 360. Freshman Annabeth Sembower showcased her talent by securing the high game for the Vikings with an impressive score of 134.
