Van Wert defeats Shawnee

Van Wert improved to 4-4 (3-4 WBL) by defeating Shawnee 2320-2088 at 20th Century Lanes in Lima on Monday.

The high scores of the day for the Cougars came from Ethan Brown (178) and Sam Cassidy (174).

“It was a rough night for my seniors, but my younger guys stepped up,” head coach Seth Blackmore said. “Nicholus McPhail came in the second game and shot a nice 169 game.”

“Sam Cassidy also came in the second game and bowled a 174 game and Logan Goodwin bowled very well in bakers to help the team out. I told those three guys that they would be sitting out first game but to be ready to come in and they didn’t disappoint.”

The Van Wert varsity and junior varsity bowling teams will return to action January 29 against Elida at Westgate Lanes in Lima.
