I’m proud of all of our bowlers/both teams tonight and their wins – which gave me 190 wins in my 10 years coaching – especially proud of our seniors that we celebrated tonight before the match – Jay Greenwell, Maddy McDaniel, Cassidy Joines, Elizabeth Layson, Andrew Smith, Mikal Crawford, Brycen Chenault and Landon Thompson. They will definitely be missed next season and have been a blessing to have in our Apollo Bowling Family.”
