Monday’s Game
Junior Gary Sims won all three of his games against bowling powerhouse Brother Martin Monday, but it wasn’t enough as the Jays fell to the Crusaders at Colonial Lanes in Harahan. Even though it was a tough loss for the Jays there was plenty of spirit to go around from all the student fans a.k.a. the “Gizzard” who turned out to cheer on the bowlers. Sims posted a 684 series, the top series score amongst both teams. Senior Ben Hunn, junior Luke Wood, and sophomore Will Adams also recorded wins.
