BEAVERCREEK — A slow start in the baker games doomed the Wilmington High School girls bowling team Friday at the Division I Southwest District Bowling Championships at Beaver-Vu Lanes.
WHS sophomore Kylie Fisher had a season-best 611 series and earned her second straight trip to the state tournament.

Natalie Digiacomo of Turpin was the top individual in the tournament witha 686 series. Fairmont sophomore Danica Roseberry was runnerup with a 660, which included a 299 game.
Wilmington’s Lexus Reiley had a 588 series for the Hurricane, also getting better as the day went on with 160, 214, 214. She was 22 shy of advancing.
Butler was the overal team champ with 3,738 with Centerville fifth at 3,570. Wilmington was sixth with 3,552. The WHS baker total of 916 was 15th overall.
