The Frontier Athletic Conference bowling season finished Wednesday, Feb. 12.
The Miami Trace boys and Hillsboro girls teams won the respective FAC titles for 2019-20.
Miami Trace’s Andrew Amore repeated as Bowler of the Year.
Miami Trace’s Gabby McCord was also Bowler of the Year.
They, along with the other First Team, All-FAC bowlers and the conference championship teams will be recognized at the FAC winter sports banquet on March 23.
On the boys’ side, Hillsboro was second, followed by Jackson, Washington, Chillicothe and McClain.
For the girls, Miami Trace was second, followed by Washington, Chillicothe, Jackson and McClain.
“Andrew bowled really well,” Miami Trace head coach Ron Amore Sr. said. “Jay (Caudill) bowled well and Connor (Collins) bowled well. The other boys didn’t bowl badly.
“After the regular season, we were tied with Hillsboro,” Amore said. “We beat them down there and they came here and beat us in the regular season.
“(In the FAC tournament) we bowled three games apiece against (defending FAC champs) Hillsboro,” Amore said. “Then we bowled two baker games. That’s 34 games. After those games, we won the FAC by 27 pins. That was close, very close.”
