On the girls side, Whitford said they “Started out real slow by losing the 1st game, but rebounded and won the 2nd game. Sophomore Lily Keller got the team pumped up with a nice 192 game.”

Whitford added, “Going into the baker game Portland Girls needed to win one baker game to win the match. Portland lost the 1st baker game by 4 pins! In the 2nd baker game it came down to the 10th frame which senior and anchor bowler Jessie Whitford needed a mark to win the match.”

Portland’s girls came out on top with the win, 19-11.
