Fri - 03 Dec Written by Mike Koolbeck

The Xavier boys’ bowling team was looking for improvement and that’s what it got Friday (Dec. 3) in its Mississippi Valley Conference match against Dubuque Hempstead.

The Saints bettered their season-opening score by more than 400 pins, but ran into a buzzsaw from Hempstead. The Mustangs beat Xavier, 3225-2762.

“That’s a substantial improvement,” Xavier Coach Russ Camacho said. “I’m very happy with our overall performance.”

Too bad high school letter jackets are no longer in vogue.

Maybe then the newest group of prep letter winners would get more recognition.

Right now, high school bowling is mostly a sport followed by the bowlers themselves, their family members and few fans.

But that doesn’t mean it’s not popular.

“It is,” says Linn-Mar head boys coach Andy Diercks, “the fastest-growing high school and collegiate sport in the country.

“It’s had double-digit growth in terms of numbers in the past five or six years. And it just keeps growing.”
