RP stayed in strong position after baker play, sitting as high as 6th, and entered regular games in 8th place. After two regular games (841, 844), RP finished 9th overall, just 22 pins shy of qualifying for match play. Only the top 8 teams advanced. While it was disappointing to narrowly miss match play, the team had a tremendous season. They earned RP’s first regional championship in boys bowling since 2012, finished second in the OK Green behind a Division 1 state-ranked team, and all five seniors earned tournament medals and postseason conference honors. A season full of accomplishments to be proud of. ○ Saturday – Individual Competition Carter Hekkema competed in the 56-bowler field. He opened with a strong 225 & sat in 11th place early but finished with a 1018 series, falling short of the top 16 match play cutoff. This marked Carter’s second appearance at the individual state tournament.
