Versailles Boys
Varsity Bowlers WOHSBC Runners-Up
Versailles Tigers Bowling...
Lady Tigers wrap up at 10-3; JV teams finished runners-up
The Versailles Boys Varsity Bowling team rolled their final match of
the regular season against the 2011 State Runner up Wapakoneta
Redskins. The contest was held at 20th Century Lanes in Lima on
Saturday, February 11.
With both teams holding a 14-0 record and the title of WOHSBC Champions
on the line, this was going to be a good match. “After seeing some of
the scores that the girls were posting the 1st shift, I told the boys
this was going to be a high scoring match. The oil pattern that was put
out was going to make it easy to hit the pocket, therefore, resulting
in a bunch of strikes.”
Although Versailles bowled two great games over their season average of
979, Wapak outscored Versailles in the first two games with totals of
1112 to 1029 and 1136 to 1079. “Although Wapak was bowling way above
their team average, we kept it close. Anything can happen in the Baker
games.” Going into the baker games with a 140-pin lead over the Tigers,
the Redskins won the first two baker games with scores of 190 to 186
and 201 to 195. The Tigers came back to win the third baker game
174 to 169. Wapak topped Versailles in the fourth baker 180 to
176, but Versailles came out on top in the fifth and final baker 195 to
149. The Tigers gained a little ground in the baker games as the
scores were very close, but still came up short, and the Redskins won
the match by 103 pins with a total of 3137 pins to the Tigers’
3034. Versailles put up some solid scores: Michael Davidson
245 and 201, Aaron Niekamp 223 and 204, Nathan Peters 223 and 199, Ben
Didier 216 and 209, Jordan Groff 196, and Kyle Bohman 192.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite enough to overtake the Redskins, who
have a team average of 1011 and baker average of 197.5.
“These boys had an incredible regular season. To repeat as Conference
Champions with the caliber of some of these teams was not going to be
easy. The respect each team had for each other and to watch the kids
from each team compete today truly showed what high school sports
competition is all about, sportsmanship.”
The Tigers move on to the Sectional Tournament at Marian Lanes in Huber
Heights on Wednesday, February 15, at 9 AM. Versailles, along
with Ansonia and Mississinawa, breaks away from the WOHSBC and goes
head to head with 19 entirely new teams at the Sectional tournament
level. The team format for the Sectional Championships will
consist of three games of regular bowling followed by six games of
baker format bowling. Six teams and six individuals will qualify
for the District Tournament at Eastern Lanes in Middletown on Friday,
February 24. Please visit www.wohsbc.com for in depth stats and

Winning Season for
the Lady Tiger Bowlers!
The Versailles Girls Varsity Bowling Team traveled to 20th Century
Lanes in Lima on Saturday, February 11 to bowl their final match of the
regular season in the West Ohio High School Bowling Conference. Prior
to the match all the schools recognized their Varsity Seniors, and the
Lady Tigers were proud to recognize Joanna Cruz and Haylie Schlater!
The Lady Tigers were scheduled to bowl against the Lady Redskins of St.
Henry, but unfortunately the Tigers bowled unopposed. With tournament
competition right around the corner the girls took to the lanes as if
they were bowling against another team. Their first game which
included 4 Turkeys ended with an 897. Senior Haylie Schlater was the
lead bowler with a 211. In their second game the Lady Tigers bowled an
820 with senior Joanna Cruz leading with a 185. Way to go Seniors!
Versailles went into the baker games with a 1717 pin count and added
804 with their 5 baker games. The Tigers ended the match with a total
pin count of 2521. The Lady Tigers ended their season 10-3.
Congratulations to all the Lady Tiger Varsity Bowlers: Seniors-Joanna
Cruz, Haylie Schlater & Brooke Leach, Junior Danielle Cochran,
Sophomores-Kelsey Berning, Paige Holsapple, Tori Minnich, Megan Monnin,
& Brooke Wehrkamp, Freshman Megan Ward, and Coaches- Pat Voisard,

“The girls had a great year this year finishing at 10-3 and finishing
in 4th place. Their only losses were to defending state champions, St.
Marys, 2011 state qualifier Coldwater and perennial powerhouse,
Wapakoneta. We are strong team this year and I think we are really
going to surprise some teams during the tournament.”

include Ansonia, Bellefontaine, Benjamin Logan, Catholic Central,
