Bowling Team Update - HAIL BOWLS A PERFECT GAME!!!!

Friday night at Western Bowl the Pioneers were in action at the Cincinnati Bearcat Classic Bowling Tournament, which included the best high schools from Cincinnati and across the state of Ohio. Thirty-five men's teams and 28 women's teams participated.

The men's team defended their title, showing Cincinnati and Ohio that the Pioneers were a force to be reckoned with in bowling. The team finished runners-up to a good team from Northern Ohio.

Senior Cody Hail was named to the All-Tournament team. He bowled his first 300 game, followed by a 254 game. Hail was the first Pioneer to bowl a perfect game AND do this in the biggest high school bowling tournament in the Tri-State area!

The women's team had a great showing in the tournament with marked improvement which helps them prepare for Regionals at the end of the month.
