CINCINNATI — In a battle of the top two SBAAC American Division girls bowling teams last season, Wilmington won a close match with New Richmond Tuesday at Cherry Grove Lanes.

The WHS boys also were victorious, by a much larger margin over New Richmond. The boys won by more than 400 pins, besting the Lions 2639 to 2203.

Jayden Tackett, a state qualifier for the Hurricane last season, led the way with a 457 (210, 247) series. Lucas Neff had a 430 series while Dominick Walters, a first-year varsity bowler, had a 227 game.

With all five starters recording at least game over 150, WHS won the match with solid depth all the way around. Haylee Wright led the way with a 353 series while Kylie Fisher had 326 and Tori Piatt had 322.
