The Hopkins High School boys’ bowling team just missed trip to the Division 3 state finals Saturday by placing fourth at regionals. The girls’ team, however, finished among the top three to qualify.
The top three teams of 16 in the region qualify for state but the Viking boys took fourth. The Lady Vikings, who recorded a 12-4-1 record for the season overall, will roll at state Friday and Saturday, March 3 and 4, at M-66 Lanes in Battle Creek.
Star sophomore roller Brenden Gossman also just missed a tip to state individual competition by finishing 11th when only the top 10 of 80 bowlers qualify. He missed the cut by just 14 pins. Teammate Terry Thomas did qualify for the individual competition.
Gossman and the Hopkins boys, who finished at 13-2-1 overall for the season, competed in the state finals last year. The Vikings were co-champions in the O-K Silver Conference this year.
