WICHITA — The Dodge City High School bowling team opened their season at the Biship Carroll Invitational.
The Red Demons, comprised of seniors Alex Simmons, Tyler Woods, Cade Morgan and Ethan Hutchcraft, along with sophomore Tanner Dalton and freshman Dylan Woods, finished sixth of 24 teams, totaling 2,664 pins.
Boys went 0-2 against Topeka Hayden, 2-0 against Mulvane, 2-0 against Bishop Carroll, 2-0 against Wichita South, 1-1 against Wichita Kapaun Mount Carmel, and 2-0 against Bishop Carroll in the finals to finish 9-3 for the day.
“The boys got off to a slow start, but bowled well the rest of the day,” DCHS head coach Tyson Clark said. “We were a little tight the first two games, but then bowled well the rest of the day.
“We just could not string a bunch of strikes together, but finishing sixth is nice start.”
The format was Bakers Team. This is a true team format in that one bowler bowls the first and sixth frames, the second bowler bowls the second and seventh frames, third bowler bowls the third and eighth frames the fourth bowler bowls the fourth and ninth frames and the fifth bowler bowls the fifth and 10th frames. The teams bowled 12 games against six different opponents. The team which won each game received 30 bonus pins. The first 10 games were pool play and teams were seeded, according to pool play totals and bowled two additional games.
Maize won with a total of 3002 pins, and Garden City finished 11th with 2,449 pins.
Girls 11th out of 24 teams.
Dodge City’s girls team is comprised of senior Cynthia Morales, juniors Cayse Larman, Christi, Larman, Katie Larman and Blaise Jensen, and sophomore Chantel Smith.

“The girls never got hot as a team, every game someone bowled well and someone would struggle,” Clark said. “We were disappointed to finish 11th but had several positive things happen.”
Wichita Heights finished first with 2,754 pins and Garden City finished third with 2,426 pins.
On Monday, DCHS travels to Great Bend for a tri-meet with Great Bend and Holcomb.
