ALEXANDRIA â The trophy may look different, but the uniforms and the competition are the same.
The Campbell County High School boys bowling team is off to a perfect start as the Camels try to repeat as state champions this season. If they were to win the state tournament again next March, the Camels will own a trophy provided by the Kentucky High School Athletic Association.
This is the first year bowling has been a sanctioned sport by the KHSAA.
Bowling was a club sport in the state for about a decade, and officials put together a postseason tournament in those years. Campbell won the state title for boys teams at the club level last season and lost one senior from that group.
âWeâre definitely a team this year,â junior Trey Brun said. âWeâre good friends with each other. I think we can (win state) again.â
Head coach Wayne Heringer, a former head baseball coach at Campbell, is one of several new coaches for bowling teams across the area this year. Head coaches need to meet several KHSAA requirements to be certified, and school districts were required to take on more of the administrative costs.
While those and other off-lane hurdles had to be cleared to get the sport under KHSAA jurisdiction, the rules of competition were virtually unchanged.
Campbell will play weekly matches this season against Northern Kentucky foes, and a team can win up to seven points each match. Teams are allowed this year to add other tournaments. Campbell was set to bowl in a tournament hosted by Louisville St. Xavier Dec. 10. The postseason will be in March, with the state tourney happening March 23 in Louisville.
The Camels are off to a 14-0 start after sweeping rival Brossart 7-0 in boys action Dec. 8 at Southern Lanes in Alexandria. The Camels girls team won six of seven points and are 13-1. Both teams swept Newport Central Catholic in week one.
âI really like starting off well,â Brun said. âThe guys love the pressure, and weâll do the best we can.â
The boys team averaged 213 in the match, which is a combination of team combined games and the Baker system, in which five bowlers roll two frames apiece for one score.
