“My girls should have gone further than what they did,” Washington head coach Anthony Amore said. “They got fifth at Sectionals. I think if they would’ve had a different mindset, they would have gone farther than what they did.
“Brooklyn Foose came out and did what she was supposed to do,” Amore said. “She got fourth at the Sectional. Only the top individual at Districts goes to State. She didn’t bowl badly at Districts, those other kids just bowled better.”
