Oregon boys bowling competes in Peoria

The Oregon Hawks boys bowling team traveled to Landmark Lanes, Peoria to participate in the Oswego East Mid-State Tournament on Dec. 27. In a field with three of the top four teams from last year’s state finals and four of the top 10 teams in the state this season, the Hawks held their own throughout the majority of the day, but some game six struggles saw Oregon drop to sixth place – 69 pins behind fourth-place Harlem for the last trophy spot.  

Oregon was led by seventh-place medalist Matthew Stahl with a 1,295 series (184, 255, 215, 171, 278, 192) and 10th-place medalist Brady Davis with a 1,282 series (198, 219, 249, 179, 222, 215).  In addition, 25th-place finisher RJ Keene recorded a 1,230 series and 40th-place Gavvin Surmo with an 1,151 series. Also competing were Caleb Brooks with a 662 series (four games) and Codey Dunbar with a 329 series (two games).
