BOWLING - NEXT UP - CONFERENCE MATCH
It was a nail biter last game of the season for Varsity as they took on the reigning champs of Irondale. It all came down to the last match, with Mounds View pulling ahead for the win! JV1 didn't drop a single game, won their matches by an average of just over 300 pins and also averaged an impressive 162. JV2 also won all 10 of their games, and both of their matches by an average of almost 150 pins while averaging 118. Well done MVHS Bowlers! Come cheer on the teams at their conference match on Friday (11/8) at the Mermaid at 3:30 PM. Go Mustangs!
