ALTON FINISHES SIXTH AT ABE LINCOLN INVITATIONAL: The boys bowling team averaged 199.57 pins in six games as the Redbirds came in sixth in the Abe Lincoln Invitational tournament Saturday in Springfield.
Danny Laslie was the leading bowler for Alton, coming in third in the individual standings with a total pinfall of 1,376, averaging 229.3 for the six games. Bryce Summers came in 24th overall, but did have a perfect 300 game during the tournament, and Clayton Pilger finished 10th with a total of 1,299.
The Alton girls team didn't fare as well, with only four bowlers, many of them who are beginners, but are doing their best. The Redbirds girls team at the tournament consisted of Abby Jones, Regan Spinks, Misty Kelly and Sonya Gill.
Both Redbird teams get back into action later this week.

The Warriors, three-time defending Class 1 champions in Missouri, rallied from a 30-12 deficit to win the meet over the Tigers, who came in as defending champions.

Among the winners for the Tigers were Luke Odom at 160 pounds, getting a pin to run his record to 12-0 on the season, along with Drew Gvillo at 170 and Lloyd Reynolds at 285, both by pins. Simon Weakley at 195 and Jack Summers at 106 won by forfeit, and Dylan Gvillo got a pin at 132, but Whitfield won the last three bouts to pull out the win.
