Wed. Pa. boys’ roundup: Northeast takes bowling crown

Northeast's fourth Public League Coed Bowling championship in the last seven years was undoubtedly its toughest, but the Vikings pulled it off in dramatic fashion, beating Saul, 1,725-1,705, in a competitive match Wednesday at Erie Lanes.

Northeast's fourth Public League Coed Bowling championship in the last seven years was undoubtedly its toughest, but the Vikings pulled it off in dramatic fashion, beating Saul, 1,725-1,705, in a competitive match Wednesday at Erie Lanes.

The Vikings' performance in the title match mirrored their regular season as they fell 60 pins behind but rallied with a solid second game. The Vikings lost their first three matches of the regular season, one to Saul.

Four boys and two girls scored for the Vikings in the title match.

"We started to win from the fourth match of the season," Northeast coach Karen Barrett said. "They've been blessed, that's my motto."

One of the boys, Tyler Semola, rolled a 385 series for Northeast. Saul's high came from Ryan Zamorset (456).
