Bowling
VESTAL – Led by Corey Huggins' career-best performance, Norwich's boys bowling team captured the Section IV Class B title Friday afternoon at Midway Lanes.
Huggins opened his day with a perfect 300 game, followed with a 221, and eclipsed the 800 barrier for his series finishing off the best individual series of the day rolling a 289 to fashion an 810 triple.
Norwich had three other bowlers roll well above their averages as well. Brendon Budd's 268 final game gave him a 661 series; Matt Gladstone racked up a 660 series, and Dylan Gladstone tossed a three-game 649.
Norwich amassed 3,258 pins for three games, well over 300 pins above its season-best, and 96 pins clear of runner-up Waverly.
Through two games, the Tornado keglers and Waverly were knotted at 2,132 pins. Big final games from Huggins and Budd allowed Norwich to bring home the victory. "All three of our individual games were better than anything we rolled this season," said Norwich coach Art Rigas. "The kids were buzzing."
Jacasa Currie rolled a 508 series for Norwich leading the Tornado girls to a fourth-place finish in the Class B team event. Currie had a high game of 215, and Alyssa Welch added a 205 game.
