This year I am retiring from coaching the Portland Girls Bowling Team.
I’ve been coaching for over 20 years.
The last 9 years as Girls head coach, with a record of 87 wins, 26 losses and one tie.
During that time we have been the Division 3 Regionals Team Champs (2018), Several tournament wins and top 5 finishes throughout the years.
We have also been the CAAC Blue Conference Champs the last 5 years in a row.
Thank you all!
