Hope everyone has enjoyed the recent balmy weather, but the temps will begin to plummet. However, area bowlers tend to thrive in the colder weather, so look out for some fine scoring this week as we flip the switch to 2026!

Here's what to watch this week!
🎟️Monday, Dec 29
The BHS Classic, hosted by Bellefontaine, will be held at TP Lanes. The Coldwater boys and Bellefontaine girls are the reigning champs.

Hillsboro looks to continue both teams' undefeated seasons with a non-conference match with Unioto at Highland Lanes at 10am.

Greenon boys (5-1, 3-0 OHC) and girls (6-0, 3-0) look to keep their OHC records spotless as they host West Liberty-Salem at Bowl 10.

🎟️ Tuesday, Dec 30
It's been a couple years, but Fairmont and Troy renew their non-conference slate at Poelking Woodman at 4pm. Fairmont boys have won the last 7 matchups (9-3 all-time); whereas Troy has won the last 5 girls' contests (10-2 all-time).

Urbana and Graham meet up in a CBC cross-divisional showdown at Southwest Bowl. Urbana boys snapped a 7-game losing skid to Graham last season, This year's Falcons are third in the league in scoring and are led by junior Logan Pitsinger, who is averaging 214.7. The girls teams are fairly similar, record-wise, as Graham (4-3) has won 7 of the 8 matchups against Urbana (5-4). After starting the year 0-4, the Lady Hillclimbers have reeled off 5 straight wins with the return of senior Emily Fisher (182.9 avg) to the lineup.

Undefeated Celina girls (9-0) hosts Lincolnview at Plaza Lanes led by junior Chloe Bruce (188.3 avg).

🎟️Friday, Jan 2
The Northwestern boys and Greenon girls look to repeat as champions in the Clark County Tournament at Victory Lanes. A lot of talent at this tournament and there could be another 30K milestone moment that comes out of this event. 😉

🎟️Saturday, Jan 3
The 13th Annual Back to School Bash is the first tournament of the new year and the girls event will be on Saturday at Rollhouse Fairfield. The boys event will be on Sunday.

The JV squads were in action Saturday at the Greenon Knights JV Invitational Tournament at Bowl Ten in Fairborn.

Our young Lady Aviators were the story of the day, finishing 3rd overall on paper, but host Greenon awarded a 2nd place finish to Butler due to some eligibility determinations on their end. It was Freshman Jacey Pinkston with the hot hand, booking a career high 297 set (153, 144), enough for 4th place and her first-ever All Tournament Team finish. First-year bowler Junior Morgan Howard posted her career high set as well with a 270 (158, 112).

On the boys side, the Aviators finished 8th out of 11 teams, led by Freshman Landen Whisman’s 357 set (187, 170), and Sophomore Connor Burkholder’s 348 set (182, 166).

The Aviators will now enjoy the holiday break and return to action against Stebbins at Beaver-Vu Bowl, January 5th, 4:00 pm.

Bad news and good news from Rollhouse. The bad news is our Aviator squads got swept by Xenia yesterday. The good news is Freshman Preston Stiller’s reign of terror on the lanes continues! Preston shot another 433 set (221, 212), tying his career high from last match and booking his third 400 set in consecutive matches. Senior Michael McCann also shot a nice 402 set (203, 199), but Butler’s 2,130 was no match for Xenia’s 2,425. The boys fall back to .500 (3-3).

The Lady Aviators dropped their 5th straight match to Xenia, 1,800 - 1,652. Senior Liza Koewler led the girls with a solid 352 set (192, 160). The ladies record falls to 1-5.

In JV action, Sophomore Hank Amlin booked another career high game (194) and set (341) as he continues on his ascent. Our 4-man JV squad posted a solid effort, but they could not muster enough pins to fill the gap and fall to Xenia JV 1,757 - 1,182. In girls JV, Freshman Jacey Pinkston shot a 239 set (120, 119).

All Aviator squads return to action Tuesday, December 16th, 4:00 pm, at Bel-Mar Lanes in Sidney.
