Dream Come True: Eskymo Bowlers Win Regional

GAYLORD---The Escanaba High School bowling program has come close bvefore, but has never won a regional championship trophy. Well, on Friday, the boys broke that drought with a first-place finish at the MHSAA Division Two Team Regionals in Gaylord.

Escanaba won the campionship with 3,644 pins. Iron Mountain was second with 3,604 pins, and Bay City John Glenn took third with 3,542 pins. All three teams advance to the state finals in the Detroit suburb of Canton. Marquette finished fourth and did not qualify for the states, missing out by just 13 pins.

"It feels awesome," Escanaba Head Bowling Coach Rick Neumann said. "We've been close before. The boys have finished second. The girls have finished secvond. But never first., This is a dream come true."

Escanaba's top roller was Derek Kamin, who had a 603 total score (197, 203, 203).

The Eskymos will stay the night in Gaylord, and will compete in the Division Two individual tournament on Saturday.
