Defending their home turf for the final time this season, the Newton girls bowling team kept its win streak alive, while the boys recovered from a slow start on Saturday

The Cardinal girls topped their competition by more than 100 pins and the boys took second to a strong effort from Knoxville in a five-team field at Cardinal Lanes. The girls totalled 2,443 pins and the boys had a total of 2,392.

“The girls just keep crushing their competition,” Newton coach Seth Banwell said. “On the guys side, we need to improve on picking up spares.”
