The Goshen varsity boys and girls bowling teams are experiencing respectable seasons.

The both squads are breaking just about even against their increasingly tough schedule.

The Warriors are not competing for a league championship. In the Southern Buckeye Conference Goshen and Amelia are the only member schools with bowling squads.

Boys

The boys in red have defeated Middletown Fenwick’s Falcons 1952-1943, Miami Valley Christian 2023-1594, Mt. Healthy’s Owls 1930-1892, Little Miami’s Panthers 1969-1956, and Amelia 2223-2195. Losses were taken from Mt. Healthy 2247-2158, Loveland 2235-2103, Wilmington’s Hurricanes 2787-2210, and Clinton Massie’s Falcons 1990-1958.

Sophomore Ryan Saylor owns the best average with a 160, junior Michael Tidwell averages 157, and senior Cody Rodgers has a 153. Saylor and Tidwell were singled out by their coach, Shirley Reynolds, for owning the most improved averages by 34 and 20 pins per game, respectively.
