DEPOSIT – Following delays and rescheduling due to inclement weather at the beginning of last week – the Oxford girls varsity bowling teams exploded for two solid matches on the lanes – while the boys proved competent by grabbing a tie before being outdone in Friday's matchup.

Taking on Deposit on Jan. 26, due to a rescheduling from Jan. 23, the Oxford girls snagged a solid 4-0 win, while taking the total pin-count win at 2,234-1,264.

The lady Blackhawk's Jourdan Pinney led the way for her squad – as the only female bowler to hit a 200 game – as Pinney snagged the game high with a solid third game at 204. Pinney would also secure the series high with her 540 series this past Thursday. Tying for the third highest game for Oxford – Pinney snagged a 192 game in the second – was Savannah Beech and Erin Howard – each of who battled it out in the third game to finish with a 168.

On the Deposit side, they would be swept away in essentially all facets of the contest, boasting just four bowlers – they would see their game and series high go to Carolynn Struble. Struble claimed the game high in the third with a 159, en route to her series high of 419.

On the boys, the matchup would come down to just 12 pins – as Oxford and Deposit would see a game tie at 2-2. This tie saw the Blackhawks be outscored in the total pin-count when Deposit managed to hit 2,275 compared to Oxford's 2,263 – a truly crushing loss.

Leading the way for Oxford was Phil Smith who hit all three games of his into the 200 range. Smith finished with the game and series high – rolling games of 214, 210, and 202 for a series high of 626. Corey Turner would take the second place series high for his team with a 465 series.

On the Deposit team, they would see a more balanced approach to the matchup on Thursday, however, it still remained a one man show essentially – although a closer team race. Kenny Macumber hit two games of 181, and 180 to start the series taking the high game at 181 in the first – as he rolled his way to a solid 511 series. Jacob Stanton trailed Macumber with a 471 series.

OXFORD – Following the road matchup, Oxford hosted a home match with Greene, to which the Trojans and Blackhawks split the lanes.
