In the first round, the Hillsboro girls took out Logan Elm in two games. In the second round, the Zane Trace girls posed little threat, and the Indians downed them in two games.

The finals were against the Washington girls team. The Hillsboro girls won the first game, only to drop the second game. The Hillsboro team fought hard to defeat Washington by two pins and take the gold for the day. 

“Overall, it was a good day,” girls bowling coach Jeff Miller said. “For the coaching staff, we are very pleased with the performance and overall poise of both teams. They all faced adverse lane conditions and still found a way to dig deep and win.

“We have a long way to go, and we have to set our sights on our schedule for this week and next.”

The match moves the Hillsboro boys team to 14-0 and the Hillsboro girls team to 13-1.
