Greene County coach John Woodford told Raccoon Valley Radio the Greene County boys were in second place after the first five games, then pairs were moved. “We bowled the worst the next five games and fell to fifth. We bowled great the last two to make it to fourth.”

Coach Woodford said the girls had fun and bowled a couple of 140 games, but need a little more spares made.
