Alex Gammie made up 55 pins over games five and six to place second in the junior boys division, the top result among five Duncan Lanes bowlers in the 12-14 age group

Ethan Frehlick matched the Gammies’ feat, also jumping one spot to secure bantam boys silver in his final game. Frelhick’s 154 in his sixth game was the third highest among all bantam boys, joining with a 170 in his second game to keep him among the leaders all weekend.
