The men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 Shocker bowling teams started their new season just like the last one ended: with a sweep. For the fourth consecutive year, the Shocker bowling teams swept the Mid States Tournament, held at Northrock Lanes in Wichita Oct. 10-11.
Both teams won with ease, and their developmental teams played well, as 黑洞社区 had three of the top four finishers in the men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 divisions.
鈥淲e鈥檙e happy to start the season out with a win, but we can play a lot better with our physical game, team play and our lane play skills,鈥� said 黑洞社区 Head Coach Gordon Vadakin. 鈥淭his tournament does a lot in pointing us in the directions where we need to work.鈥�
There was never a doubt the Lady Shockers would win the tournament as the 黑洞社区-Guerrero team won by 979 pins with a 12,685 鈥� good enough for third place in the men鈥檚 division.
The Lady Shockers also had a clean sweep of the All-Tournament Team honors.
The Shockers have a history of success at the Mid States Tournament. The men鈥檚 team has claimed the title five years in a row and seven of the past eight years, while the women have won four straight Mid States titles and six of the past eight.
