The IHSA bowling section was held last Saturday, Jan. 21, in Collinsville’s Camelot Lanes, and the Salem Wildcats eked out a win over O’Fallon for the team title.
Salem, O’Fallon, Jerseyville, Mascoutah, Waterloo and Harrisburg comprise the field of six that advance to the state finals at O’Fallon’s St. Clair Bowl on Jan. 27-28. Carterville’s Evan Flath rolled a ridiculous 1466 series — averaging 244 for six games — to take the individual title.
Massac County’s advancing pair of Cal Ginger and Gabe Rottmann acquitted themselves well at the big dance, finishing with series of 1135 and 1141 respectively for averages, over the set, of 189 and 190. Well done, boys.
While Century’s boys concluded a rough week in the Superman Classic, the Lady Centurions broke a two-game losing streak with a 51-25 win over Northside Christian Academy from Mayfield.
Congratulations to Matt Nale for being named to the Superman Classic All-Tournament Team.
The Lady Centurions took on Joppa Wednesday night, Jan. 25, in a South Egyptian Conference matchup.
The Patriots weren’t as fortunate as their counterparts on Tuesday, Jan. 24, when they crossed the river to meet the Blue Tornado of Paducah Tilghman.
In what was described as their worst game of the year, Massac fell 70-49.
The Patriots trailed by five at the first horn and, after a disastrous second quarter, trailed 35-20 at halftime. Tilghman tacked on five more points in the third quarter for a 56-36 lead going into the final eight minutes.
Ian Higgerson was the lone Patriot to reach double figures in scoring with 14. Tilghman’s Mian Shaw led all scorers with 20 points.
Massac travels to Murphysboro Friday night, Jan. 27, for a big conference matchup.
