Upcoming Events

The KHS bowling teams had their last match of 2025 against a greatly improved Oberlin team at Rebman Recreation. Three of our four teams came away with wins.

The varsity boys knew going into the match that this was not the same old Oberlin varsity boys team that had been an easy win in the past. The first game saw our boys come out of the gate hot to set the tone early as they bowled their highest score of the season so far to stake a 155-pin lead after one. The second game our boys cool off while Oberlin improved, which cut the lead to 102 pins heading to the Baker games. Both teams put up decent Baker scores as our boys held on for the win 2282 to 2186. Gavin Toothman set new personal highs to take high game (270) and top series (461). Also bowling well were Gus Hoops (215 game/417 series), Drew Hetsler (202 game/377 series) and David Jones (191 game). The team Baker games were 194 & 160.

The varsity girls were facing the first-ever Oberlin varsity girls team that is having good season. The first game saw a few of our girls struggling again with the lane conditions, but so were our opponents as we managed to open a 100-pin lead after one. The second game we found our shots better as a team, which allowed us to extend our lead to 219 pins heading to the Baker games. Our girls put up to very solid Baker games to claim their 8th win of the season 1654 to 1361. Kaitlyn Drew had high game honors (175) while Brooke Yeager had high series (330). The team Baker games were 157 and 134.

The JV boys were trying to stay perfect to end the year as they faced the Oberlin JV boys team. As has become the case, our JV boys took out all of the suspense early in opening up a large 154-pin lead after one and never looked back in easily cruising to their 9th win of the year by a score of 1860 to 1346. Lucas McMullen set a new personal high in netting high score (222) while Andrew Nickolay had high series (346). Also bowling well were Zachary Skomrock (170 game/316 series) and Xander O'Brien (164 game/309 series). Our Baker games were 180 & 144.

Our JV girls had another opportunity to face an opponent as Oberlin fielded a full JV girls team. Unfortunately for us, we only had 3 girls available to bowl and despite a good effort, our JV girls we handed their first loss of the season 1114 to 737. Malenna Andel had high game (125) and high series (232). Also bowling well was Izzie Trimble (114 game/210 series). Our girls put up two really good Baker games of 124 and 116.

The KHS bowling teams started their final week before the holiday break by heading back on the road to Rebman Recreation to face for the first time ever the Division 1 team from Westlake. It was a good night as all four of our teams picked up victories.

The varsity boys were trying to extend their 4 match winning streak against a very good Westlake varsity boys team. The first game saw both teams come out fairly strong, matching shot for shot. Westlake was slightly better to open a slim 28-pin lead after one. The second game saw Westlake cool off while we maintained our pace, which allowed us to swing the lead in our favor to 14 pins heading to the Baker games. Both teams we a little inconsistent during the Bakers, but our boys came through in the clutch to close out with the win 2072 to 2042. Gus Hoops had high game (202) and top series (368). Also bowling well were David Jones (182 game/360 series), Ethan Leiby (184 game/356 series) and Gavin Toothman (178 game/353 series). The team Baker games were 155 & 163.

The varsity girls were also facing a good Westlake varsity girls team.

The second game was similar as a couple of our bowlers who did well in the 1st game struggled while others came back strong. Westlake bowled better but we still managed to slightly extend our lead to 69 pins heading to the Baker games. Our girls shot a great 1st Baker game and a decent 2nd Baker to claim their 7th win of the season 1675 to 1565. Kelly Vargo had high game honors (184) and high series (308). Also bowling well were Kaitlyn Drew (180 game/307 series) and Brooke Yeager (157 game). The team Baker games were 189 and 138.

The KHS bowling teams were back home at Strikeout Lanes for the last time in 2025 against fellow LC8 team Clearview. All four of our teams picked up victories.

The varsity boys were battling for sole possession of 1st place in the NSBC against a very strong Clearview varsity boys team. The first game saw our boys bowl the best they have all year, putting up a big number to open up a huge 277-pin lead after one. The second game we cooled off a little as Clearview found their shots, but we still managed to push the lead out to 290 pins heading to the Baker games. Just like Monday, we never let up in the Bakers as we walked away with the big win 2343 to 2009. Gavin Toothman had high game (234) while Drew Hetsler had top series (422). Also bowling well were David Jones (227 game), Gus Hoops (202 game/367 series), Quinn Andel (190 game) and Ethan Leiby (185 game). The team Baker games were 228 & 181.

The varsity girls were eager to get back on track after their 1st loss against a very inexperienced opponent in Clearview. The first game took all of the suspense from the match as our girls stayed in great form to open a large 258-pin lead after one. The second game was pretty much a repeat of the first as our lead grew to 563 pins heading to the Baker games. Two very solid Bakers later and we were back to our winning ways 1743 to 1041. Kaitlyn Drew led us again with high game honors (193) and high series (367). Also bowling well were Kelly Vargo (162 game/297 series), Brooke Yeager (146 game) and Hailey Wilson (145 game).

The JV boys were also happy to be back home as they faced the Clearview JV boys team. Just like our varsity boys, our JV boys ran away with the match, leading to their highest team score of the year in very big win 1923 to 1381. The real story was Zachary Skomrock who just missed perfection in his first game. He threw strikes in the 1st 8 frames, opened in the 9th frame, then struck out for a sterling 264 game. He threw 11 out of a possible 12 strikes in the game. Zachary ended up with high score (264) and high series (412) - both new personal best scores! Also bowling well were Andrew Nickolay (204 game/408 series) and Lucas McMullen (179 game/303 series). Our Baker games were 131 & 146.

Our JV girls also came away with another win 956-0 as Clearview did not field a JV girls team. Malenna Andel had high game (129) and high series (256). Our Baker games were 82 and 93.

The KHS bowling teams hit the road for their first match of the season at Rebman Rec in Lorain against a very well-coached Open Door CS team. Three out of our four teams picked up wins.

The varsity boys were riding a two-match winning streak hoping to extend it against a rebuilding Open Door varsity boys team. The first game saw all of the suspense taken out of the match as our boys shot their second-best game of the season to open up a huge 187-pin lead after one. The second game we cooled off, but Open Door did as well to allow us to expand the lead to 296 pins heading to the Baker games. We never let up in the Bakers as we walked away with the win 2126 to 1761. Drew Hetsler had high game (205) and top series (364). Also bowling well were David Jones (201 game/356 series) and Gus Hoops (196 game/361 series). The team Baker games were 192 & 174.

The varsity girls were in the match of the day trying to stay undefeated against an also undefeated opponent in Open Door CS team who has several returning bowlers that went to State last year. The first game was a real back and forth battle a number of the girls on both teams stepped up to bowl some very solid games. We did just enough to have a 10-pin lead after one. The second game started off much like the first as their were some very good games, but Open Door was a little more balanced as they took a 38-pin lead heading to the Baker games. We started out very strong in the Bakers and it looked like we were cutting into their lead, but an untimely open combined with them getting 3 strikes in a row caused their lead to expand to 57 pins. Unfortunately, the wheels completely came off for us as Open Door kept up their pace and give us our first loss 1816 to 1676. Kaitlyn Drew kept up her great bowling as of late with high game honors (193) and high series (362). Also bowling well were Brooke Yeager (174 game/330 series) and Kelly Vargo (161 game/290 series).

Congrats to Cody Vargo for setting a new personal high score of 142!

The varsity girls were facing their toughest challenge so far in a very good Black River team.

Brookside was just a little better which allowed them to open a 49-pin lead. The second game was very different with our boys slightly cooling off while Brookside really struggling with their shot, as the lead flipped in our favor to a 42-pin lead heading into the Baker games.

The varsity boys ended up in the match of the night as both teams wanted the win badly. The first game didn't go quite as planned with some of our boys struggling to find their shot while Wellington found theirs which allowed them to open a 78-pin lead. The second game saw our boys regain their footing while Wellington cooled a little, as the lead flipped in our favor to a slim 11 pins heading into the Baker games. Both teams bowled well in the first Baker, but Wellington was a little better, and the match was tied with one Baker remaining.

The second game we stayed hot as we expanded the lead to 348 pins heading to the Baker games. Two solid Bakers later we had notched our 3rd win in a row 1674 to 1268.

The varsity boys have great depth this season with 7 returning bowlers that have significant experience along with a strong freshman class. The luck of the schedule draw had our first match against a team that was at State last year on their home lanes. The first game saw Lutheran West enjoying the conditions as our boys tried to find their bearings on the lanes, which allowed Lutheran West to open a 162-pin lead. The second game we made the right adjustments and got hot, but Lutheran West only dropped a little as we cut the lead to 128 pins heading into the Baker games.

Our varsity girls are returning 5 bowlers from the team that went to Districts last year along with a large group of talented sophomore girls eager to help. Lutheran West is not fielding any girls bowling teams this year, so we are credited with our first win of the season 1547 to 0. Our girls still bowled a full match and made great adjustments to lanes that we were seeing for the first time ever. Kaitlyn Drew had high game honors (164) and high series (291). Also bowling well were Brooke Yeager (161 game) and Kelly Vargo (286 series). The team Baker games were 143 and 155.
