More Bowling (and more snow)

The week started out with no school for Martin Luther King Day on Monday. We were supposed to have the SMNW Baker Tournament on Tuesday (cancelled at the last minute after the kids had already gotten out of school). Snow storm hit Tuesday night so school was cancelled on Wednesday. East was to host Olathe North and SMS Wednesday afternoon and even though they cancelled school, they had the meet. Shelby improved her game a bit bowling a 174, 208, 169 for a 551 series (184 average). She was the top girl Raider bowler but our Lady Raiders got beat by Olathe North. We almost got to watch one of the Olathe North girls bowl a 300 (came up short in the end with a 288). However, we beat East (which is always good).

Today they held the previously postponed Baker Tournament at Park Lanes. Baker format is Bowler 1 bowls frames 1 and 6; Bowler 2 bowls frames 2 and 7; Bowler 3 bowls frames 3 and 8; Bowler 4 bowls frames 4 and 9; and Bowler 5 bowls frames 5 and 10. Sixteen teams competed: best 2 out of 3 games win. Our Lady Raiders beat Turner, Gardner, Olathe North (revenge), before falling to Shawnee Mission Northwest in the championship round 2 games to 1 for a 2nd place finish. Shelby was so very proud of "her girls" - Alyssa O'Brien, Jessie Steffee, Nia Madison, and Kalie Fischer. I am hoping Jessie's mom got a better picture - I can't seem to hold my camera phone still so end up with a blurry mess (that will have to do for now). Next up is Senior night on Tuesday (sob). Go Raiders!
