The Wayland girls’ varsity bowling team bowled their way to third place Saturday in the Grand Rapids Christian Invitational.

“It was good that we got everyone a chance to participate today,” said coach Eric Bottrall. “We never seemed to get things going and it’s OK. This is a very special group that will grow from days like today. They all have been working hard every time they practice. I’m truly blessed to have this group of ladies. They are extremely supportive of each other and it will benefit them all by the time we get to regionals and the state finals.”

Breanna Hyde finished seventh individually and Kadence Bottrall took first (561) earn placement on the All-Tournament team. Other high individual games were registered by Haven Baker 149, Izzy Botwinski 145, Breanna Hyde 164 and Kadence Bottrall 203.
