Last Regular Meet of the Season and the Shawnee Mission Tournament

Yesterday was the last regular meet of the bowling season with our Raiders. They faced Olathe East and Schlagle (Poor Schlagle only had 4 bowlers and only 1 was a girl).  Our Raiders girls were victorious even with Shelby having her worst meet of the year.  It was just one of those days. 

Today was the Shawnee Mission Tournament where all the SM schools face off.  Last year of course Shelby was the top girl.  Her confidence was somewhat shaken after yesterday and of course it was at Park Lanes (which is really tough to bowl).  Shelby started out with a 133, but never gave up and fought back with a 177, and ended with a 169 for a 479 series.  I was so proud of how she just didn't give up.  She was rewarded with a 6th place medal.  Our Lady Raiders came in 2nd place with a season record score of over 1800.  Eric Steffee got 2nd place but our boys struggled with the lane conditions as well and only beat SM East, placing 4th overall.

Next up (tomorrow) is the Sunflower League Tournament.  Hoping for season high from Shelby and the team.  Go Raiders!
