Jersey bowling banquet time to reflect on extraordinary success of teams

JERSEYVILLE - The 2016 Jersey High School bowling banquet was a time to reflect and remember extraordinary seasons for both the boys and girls this season.

The boys finished ninth in the IHSA State Tournament and the girls return all five starters next season.

“I was proud of all our boys and girls this season,” Jersey bowling coach Chris Skinner said. “Finishing ninth in the state was very special and something these kids can talk about the rest of their lives. With all five girls returning next season I look for them to be special if they put the time in and get better.”

Dane Farmer, Jacob Freand, Brandon Handler and Kevin Mangrum were seniors recognized at the banquet.

“We have kids who can step in and do the job if they put in the time,” Skinner said, looking toward the next boys bowling season.
