“I felt great when I made it to states for bowling,” senior Dylan Kelley said.

Earning a score of 299 in his final match at Regionals, Kelley qualified for States for bowling. He won first place in the individual Regional with a score of 1,394.  At State finals, Kelley battled for the win against junior Izaac Goergen from Midland, however Goergen pulled the win against Kelley. Kelley won the regional individual champion.
