Coach John Woodford’s Greene County boys’ bowling team finished in eighth place in Class 1A on Monday at Cadillac Lanes in Waterloo at the State Bowling Tournament. There were eight teams in the field with 15 Baker games determining the four teams remaining in the Championship bracket and the four in the Consolation bracket. The eight were seeded and all eight teams rolled a pair of best three out of five series to determine placings.

The Rams rolled 2,934 Baker game pins. They had 1,148 pins in the first five Baker games, including a high game of 279 and four of the five at 211 and higher, putting the Rams in third place at that point. However, in the last 10 Baker games the Rams were under 200 every single time and they finished last among the eight teams for seeding purposes, which dropped them into the Consolation bracket.

Facing Clarke (Osceola) in a best three of five, the Rams won game one 213-190, but dropped the second and third games. That put Greene County in a must win situation in games four and five. The fourth game went to the Rams 182-173 forcing a fifth and deciding game. Clarke won the decider 199-171, dropping the Rams to the seventh place match vs. Louisa-Muscatine, where Greene County fell in three games.

Today is the individual tournament in Class 1A and the Rams have two qualifiers in the field of 32 bowlers in senior Teagan Chisholm and junior Chase Fecher.
