Panthers Place Third at Fred Green Classic Bowling Tournament

Oswego traveled to Wood Dale Bowl for the 25th annual Fred Green Classic hosted by Fenton High School. 

The Panthers got off to a solid start in games one and two, shooting 963 and 925 respectively, thanks to consistent games by each of the starting five bowlers.  OHS produced a string of twenty-six marks in a row as a team, which ended up being just two short of the tournament's high of twenty-eight. 

In game three, Oswego struggled converting spares, which led to the team's low game of the day (791), putting them in fourth place at the lunch break with a total morning pinfall of 2,679. 

The Panthers regrouped and came out strong in the afternoon, starting with a 931 in game four that put them in third place.  Despite being out of reach of second place, the team held onto third on final games of 952 and 868, and a tournament total of 5,430. 

Two Panthers placed in the top fifteen of the tournament to earn individual medals including Jessica Mendez (11th place) with a 194 average and Rachael Tackitt (9th place) who averaged 196 at the tournament.
