High Rollers advance again (02/14/05)
Local Roundup
ANDERSON — Jay County couldn’t quite match its regional success from a year ago, but still had enough to earn another week of competition.
The defending regional champion High Rollers boys bowling team placed third at the Anderson regional Saturday to move on to this week’s Lafayette semi-state. The top six teams earned semi-state berths.
Cody Wright advanced to the individual state finals, and the girls team ended its season with an eighth-place finish.
Jay County got off to a slow start with a 920 in its first game, but surged to third place with a 973 in game two. But, it lost a head-to-head match against conference rival and eventual champion Huntington North to finish in third place overall.
Wright, who finished fifth in the state last year, qualified for a return trip to the state meet as he rolled a 665 to finish eighth in a 51-bowler field. He opened the day with games of 269 and 246 before ending with a 150.
The girls team scored a two-game team record score of 1,639 thanks to a single-game team record 840 in their second game. It was in sixth place at that point, but slipped to eighth to end the season.
