Upcoming Events

The last regular match of the season was finally upon us - a make-up match against the always tough Medina HS team - at AMF North Ridgeville Lanes. Three out of our four teams came away with wins.

The varsity boys reached down to the JV team for a little help while a couple of our bowlers were unable to go, but that did not deter their spirit against a very good Medina team. The first game saw our boys come out hot on lanes they had not seen this year while Medina struggled a bit, which allowed us to open a 109-pin lead after one. The second game we cooled off a little while Medina started to find some of their shots as our lead was cut to 65 pins heading into the Baker games. Medina tried to mount a comeback held firm to capture the win 2229 to 2193. Gus Hoops had high game (221) and high series (423). Also bowling well were Gavin Toothman (214 game/388 series) and Drew Hetsler (211 game/386 series). The team Baker games were 205 & 181.

The JV boys only had 4 bowlers for the match due to the callup to the varsity team. The first game saw our boys bowl pretty good, but Medina's extra bowler really made it impossible as they opened a 208-pin lead. The second game was not any better as their lead grew to 428 pins. Two Baker games later and Medina walked away with the match 1905 to 1473. Our Baker games were 135 & 120. Andrew Nickolay had high score (206) and high series (364). Also bowling well were Lucas McMullen (173 game/331 series) and Zachary Skomrock (173 game/316 series).

Medina does not field girls teams so our varsity girls & JV girls teams were both credited with wins.

The next event on the schedule is the Northeast Districts. Our varsity boys team will be competing on Friday, February 20th at Rebman Recreation in Lorain starting at 10am. Brooke Yeager and Kaitlyn Drew from our girls team will be competing on Saturday, February 21st at Rebman Recreation starting at 10am.

There was no rest for our KHS bowling teams as we were back on the lanes for a make-up match against a very strong North Ridgeville HS team - at Nautical Lanes in Avon Lake. Unfortunately all four of our teams took a loss on the night.

The varsity boys were riding high after claiming a spot in Districts the previous day, but the combination of the flu, injuries and facing a difficult team were going to prove to be too much to overcome. The first game saw our boys come out pretty good on lanes they had not seen this year, but North Ridgeville came out hot to open a 135-pin lead after one. The second game was similar to the first game as our boys weren't bowling bad but North Ridgeville was really good as their lead expanded to 218 pins heading into the Baker games. Unfortunately, North Ridgeville did not cut us any slack in Bakers as they walked away with the win 2212 to 2186. Gavin Toothman had high game (220) and high series (433). Also bowling well was Drew Hetsler (207 game/388 series). The team Baker games were 212 & 175.

Our varsity girls were down a number of our starters, which gave several of our JV bowlers a chance to get some varsity experience. The first game was difficult as most of our girls struggled with their shots while North Ridgeville quickly found theirs, allowing them to open a 217-pin lead. The second game was better for our girls, but North Ridgeville was bowling on another level as their lead expanded to 403 pins heading into the Baker games. Two Baker games later and North Ridgeville wrapped up the win 1910 to 1411. Kaitlyn Drew had high game honors (164) while Ava Holztrager and Hailey Wilson tied for high series (235). The team Baker games were 134 and 136.

The JV boys were behind the eight ball with only 4 healthy bowlers for the match. The first game saw our boys bowl fairly well, but North Ridgeville's extra bowler made it an uphill battle as they opened a 122-pin lead. The second game our boys bowled well, but the lead grew to 157 pins. Being down a bowler really hurt during Bakers as North Ridgeville put away the match 1742 to 1480. Our Baker games were 102 & 100. Zachary Skomrock had high score (196) while Andrew Nickolay had high series (362). Also bowling well was Xander O'Brien (165 game/322 series).

Due to our shortage of available girls, we did not field a JV girls team for this match.

We have one last make-up match scheduled for Wednesday, February 11th at AMF North Ridgeville Lanes in North Ridgeville.

Our KHS bowling teams celebrated Senior Night facing our 3rd tough D1 school in a row - this time Olmsted Falls HS - at Strikeout Lanes. Unfortunately, only our JV boys came away with a win.

The varsity boys were facing another difficult team, but felt good being at home for the last time this season. The first game saw our boys come out strong as they found their shots early, which allowed us to open a 45-pin lead after one. The second game our boys stayed on point as Olmsted Falls had some struggles resulting in our lead expanding to 122 pins heading into the Baker games. Unfortunately, the Baker games were not kind to us as Olmsted Falls cut the lead to 60 after one Baker, then came all the way back to take the win away from us 2238 to 2207. David Jones had high game (224) and high series (413). Also bowling well were Quinn Andel (214 game/402 series) and Drew Hetsler (200 game/376 series). The team Baker games were 151 & 156.

Two Baker games later and Olmsted Falls claimed the win 1780 to 1450. Brooke Yeager had high game honors (157) while Kaitlyn Drew had high series (283). The team Baker games were 125 and 125.

The JV boys were ready to be back on the lanes after their perfect season was spoiled earlier in the week.

Our JV girls were happy to have another opponent to bowl, even though the result did not go our way. The first game saw our girls bowl pretty well on our home lanes, but Olmsted Falls had an advantage with 4 bowlers to our 3 bowlers, which allowed them to open a 142-pin lead. The second game saw our girls still bowl fairly well while Olmsted Falls cooled off, but their lead still increased to 196 pins. Once the two Baker games were complete, Olmsted Falls had the win 980-721. Paige Kapp had high game (119) while Izzie Trimble had high series (225). Also bowling well was Kate Cunning ham (115 game).

The varsity boys were facing another difficult team, but with the added challenge of lanes we have not seen this year. The first game saw our boys struggling a little to adapt to the lanes, which allowed North Olmsted to open a 42-pin lead after one. The second game saw some of our boys still trying to adapt as North Olmsted started to find their line resulting in their lead expanding to 144 pins heading into the Baker games. Consistency was still an issue in the Baker games as North Olmsted held on to take the win 2121 to 1979. Gus Hoops had high game (212) and high series (400). The team Baker games were 184 & 144.

Our varsity girls also knew they were facing another one the best girls team in the area, but were ready to try their best. The first game saw most of our girls struggle with the lanes while North Olmsted made all of the right adjustments, allowing them to open a 162 pin lead. The second game was better for our girls as they adjusted to the lanes, but North Olmsted stayed at a higher level and expanded their lead to 238 pins heading into the Baker games. North Olmsted maintained their pace through the two Baker games to claim the win 1869 to 1558. Kaitlyn Drew had high game honors (191) and high series (369). The team Baker games were 107 and 182.

The JV boys perfect season unfortunately came to an end today. The first game saw both teams bowl pretty well with North Olmsted opening a 37-pin lead.

The second game saw our girls still bowl fairly well while North Olmsted stayed hot as the lead expanded to 182 pins. Our girls were the better team during the Baker games, but North Olmsted held on for the win 871-708. Paige Kapp had high game (120) and high series (217) - both new personal bests.

Our next match is SENIOR NIGHT - Wednesday, February 4th against Olmsted Falls at Strikeout Lanes in Wellington.

Our varsity boys & girls competed in yesterday's NSBC Conference Tournament at Rebman Recreation in Lorain, a key tune-up before next week's sectionals. The boys finished 5th out of 11 and the girls finished 4th out of 10.

The varsity boys bowled fairly well, but struggled with consistency during the day. Our first game of 876 was not as strong as we had hoped to open with, which put us in a tie with Fairview at 5th place. The second game of 971 was much better and moved us up to 4th place, just 25 pins out of 3rd. Unfortunately, the third game brought big struggles with a score of 786 and a move down to 5th place. Our 6 Baker games were also inconsistent which led to our final placement of 5th, just 35 pins out of 4th. Gavin Toothman was our top series placer, tied for 9th for the day with a solid 586 series. Joining him in the top 25 series was Gus Hoops (519) for 24th. Ethan Leiby led us with the 6th highest game of the day with a 243. Joining him in the top 20 games were Gavin Toothman (204) for 19th and Gus Hoops (201) for 20th.

Our varsity girls did well considering recent lineup changes and lacking some experience. The first game of 594 showed a little bit of the nerves as we did not get off to a strong start, which put us in 4th place. The second game of 600 was not much better as we found ourselves in a tie for 4th place with Wellington. The third game of 635 was better, but had us locked into 4th place. 94 pins out of 3rd. Our 6 Baker games started off fairly good but tailed off at the end, leading to our final placement of 4th, 105 pins out of 3rd. Kaitlyn Drew was our top series placer in 10th for the day with a 423 series. Also in the top 25 series were Brooke Yeager (384) for 14th and Malenna Andel (376) in 16th. Kaitlyn and Brooke both had the 9th highest game of the day, each shooting a 158. Joining them in the top 20 games was Malenna Andel (145) for 19th.

Overall, the coaches are happy with the experience we gained and the effort everyone put forth. As much as both teams wished they had done a little better, the bigger prize is next week at sectionals & this tournament definely benefited us.

Our next match will be Monday, February 2nd against North Olmsted HS at Slovak Lanes in Lorain.

School may have been out for the weather, but our KHS bowling teams were back at it facing the always tough Division 1 Buckeye HS at Strikeout Lanes in Wellington. Two of our four teams were able to grab wins.

The varsity boys were facing a team they knew very little about but were still confident bowling at our home lanes. The first game saw our boys taking advantage of knowing the lanes, which allowed us to open a 76-pin lead.

As was agreed upon by all of the coaches ahead of time, the varsity teams were bowling 5 Baker games instead of the usual 2.

The KHS bowling teams were ready to start 2026 with a bang against the always tough Firelands team at Strikeout Lanes. All four teams came away with wins.

Our varsity boys teams have had troubles in recent years being able to beat the Firelands varsity boys teams. This year's squad was looking to end that curse. The first game saw our boys come out of the gate hot as Firelands struggled mightily trying to adjust to our lanes, which allowed us to race out to a large 193-pin lead after one.

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 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).

The varsity girls were also facing a good Westlake varsity girls team. The first game saw a few of our girls struggling a little with the lane conditions, but so were our opponents as we managed to open a 62-pin lead after one. 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 JV boys were hoping to keep their perfect start to the season intact as they faced the Westlake JV boys team. Our JV boys opened up a large 119-pin lead after one and never looked back in cruising to their 8th win of the year by a score of 1659 to 1477. Lucas McMullen ended up with high score (182) while Xander O'Brien had high series (347). Lucas was right behind Xander with 346 series while Xander had a high game of 181. Also bowling well was Zachary Skomrock (172 game/317 series). Our Baker games were 146 & 106.

Our girls put up two really good Baker games of 114 and 120.

Our next match will be Wednesday, December 17th against Oberlin HS at Rebman Rec in Lorain.

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 team Baker games were 159 and 154. Congrats to Kelly Vargo for her very nice 6-7-10 split conversion!

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.

Our next match will be Monday, December 15th against Westlake HS at Rebman Rec in Lorain.

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). The team Baker games were 154 and 90.

The JV boys also had their perfect start to the year on the line as they faced the Open Door JV boys team. Just like our varsity boys, our JV boys ran away with the match, leading to another very big win 1792 to 867. Our Baker games were 131 & 146. Zachary Skomrock had high score (220) and high series (394) - both new personal best scores! Also bowling well were Xander O'Brien (161 game/301 series), Lucas McMullen (154 game/302 series). Congrats to Cody Vargo for setting a new personal high score of 142!

Our JV girls also came away with another win 685-0 as Open Door did not field a JV girls team. Paige Kapp and Kathryn Cunningham tied for high game (107) while Kathryn also had high series (197). Izzie Trimble has a nice 106 game. Our adjusted Baker games were 62 and 52.

The varsity boys were hoping to get their first back-to-back win of the season but Black River would prove to be challenging. The first game saw some of our boys bowl well while others struggled. We somehow managed to open a slight 17-pin lead. The second game was not great for either team as we were able to expand the lead to 58 pins heading into the Baker games. Our boys were hot in the first Baker, expanding the lead to 81 pins. Both teams did not do well in the second Baker as we were able to take the win 1981 to 1889. Gavin Toothman had high game (234) and top series (410). Gus Hoops also had a nice 214 game and 402 series. The team Baker games were 192 & 134.

The varsity girls were facing their toughest challenge so far in a very good Black River team. The first game we bowled pretty well, but Black River stayed with us as we opened a small 18-pin lead after one. The second game was pretty much a copy of the first as we expanded the lead slightly to just 30 pins heading to the Baker games. Our first Baker we came out strong as we expanded the lead to 58 pins. The second Baker saw Black River come alive while we struggled, but some key spares late allowed us to stay perfect on the year 1722 to 1700. Kaitlyn Drew had high game honors (201) and high series (364). Also bowling well were Brooke Yeager (172 game/339 series) and Kelly Vargo (169 game/306 series).

The varsity boys knew going into the match that Brookside would be a tough opponent. The first game saw both teams come out hot putting up some really good numbers. 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. Our boys stayed hot in the first Baker, expanding the lead to 74 pins. Our boys struggled a little in the second Baker, but we held on to take the win 2183 to 2145. Gavin Toothman had high game (222) while fellow freshman Ethan Leiby had top series (413). Ethan also had a nice 214 game. The team Baker games were 209 & 141.

The varsity girls were back to full strength for their match against a full squad from Brookside.

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. Wellington really caught fire in the last Baker as they took the win 2164 to 2117. Gus Hoops had a very good night with high game (207) and top series (391). The team Baker games were 189 & 188.

The varsity girls teams for both schools had a few players miss due to illness so each team pulled players from their JV teams for the match. Being without a key bowler didn't phase our girls as most of them bowled the best they have so far this season. The first game we were hot right away and opened a 163-pin lead after one. 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.

After a mid-week match date switch, the KHS bowling teams were back on the lanes against fellow Division 2 team Fairview HS at Strikeout Lanes in Wellington. All four of our teams came away with wins.

The varsity boys were eager to get back on the lanes to try for their first win. Standing in their way was a Fairview team that beat us in a close match last year. The first game saw our boys enjoying being back home as all 5 bowlers put up good numbers and allowed us to open a 78-pin lead. The second game was more of the same as the lead grew to 148 pins heading into the Baker games. Our boys never let up in the Baker games as they put away the match and gained their first win of the season 2189 to 1983.

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. Unfortunately Lutheran West kept up their great bowling with to very good Baker games to put away the match. The win went to Lutheran West 2289 to 2106. Freshman Gavin Toothman made his first high school match a memorable one by leading the team with high game (219) and top series (428). Also having great games were Drew Hetsler (202), David Jones (201) & Gus Hoops (200). Congrats also to freshman Ethan Leiby with a respectable 182 for his first varsity game. The team Baker games were 141 & 166.

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.

The JV boys utilized their mix of experience and talented incoming freshman in their match against the Lutheran West JV team. The first game was tight as Keystone opened up a 14-pin lead. The second game saw our team really come alive while Lutheran West struggled, which allowed us to open up the lead to 260 pins. Two Baker games later and the match was all Keystone with a final score was 1657 to 1292. Our Baker games were 155 & 115. Andrew Nickolay had high score (202) and high series (348). Also contributing big were Xander O'Brien, Zachary Skomrock and Lucas McMullen.
