Alton coach Jeff Woszczynski said he was not disappointed in his team in its performance and exceptionally pleased with Graham making it to state on an individual level.

“We just missed qualifying in the boys team competition by six pins,” he said. “Eryka threw the ball very well. She made her spares and overall had a great tournament.”
