The high school bowling season is approaching fast.

The first day of coaching for high school bowling is Nov. 1 and the season begins on Nov. 15.

Youth have been preparing for the season all summer and into the fall with weekly events like the High School Match Play at Spins Bowl and tournaments throughout Ohio.

This week, in the High School Match Play, Justin Miller rolled a solid 247-600 and Justin Wagner was close behind, tossing a 430-692. Joy Justice led the girls with her 193-520 and Hallie Furry joined the top two among the boys and girls after rolling a 178-470.
