Holland Patent 48, Sherburne-Earlville 33
SHERBURNE – Four of the first five matches of the night were handed to Holland Patent due to forfeits by Sherburne-Earlville, helping the Golden Knights secure the 48-33 win on the road against the Marauders Wednesday night.
With every forfeit in the match awarding six points, Holland Patent took a 24-6 lead after five.
Having the commanding lead, the Golden Knights secured six wins in the next seven weight classes. Sherburne-Earlville’s Mike Doeberl pinned Shawn Yocum of Holland Patent in 1:25 to avoid having the opponent win all seven.
The Marauders got back into the match, sweeping the last four matches. Bailey Walzer kicked off the victories with a 6-3 decision win over the Golden Knights. Then S-E’s Tanner Campbell, Alex Thompson and Colby Spavin all pinned their opponents, giving the Marauders another 18 points.
But it was too late as Sherburne-Earlville took the 15 point loss.
“The forfeits are killings us,” said Marauders assistant coach Brian Hicks. “Right now, we are 5-5 and it seems like every loss is happening by the amount of points we lose because of them.”

NORWICH – The Lady Blackhawks bowled a season high 905 in the final game of the match as they swept Afton Wednesday night.
They did it without their first team All-Star and anchor bowler, Erin Howard. This was Howard’s second match in a row sitting out. “Our sixth and seventh bowler really stepped up over the last two matches filling in for Erin,” said Oxford’s head coach Lance Thorne. “Jourdan [Pinney] and Savannah [Beech] stepped up their games in her absence as well.”
Pinney rolled her way to a match-high series of 565 while Beech finished the contest just one pin behind with a 564. Pinney also recorded a game high of 232 in her final game of the evening.

NORWICH – On the boys side of the match between Afton and Oxford, Blackhawk Dakota Simpson continued to impress. Simpson, a Section IV Champion two years ago, is making a comeback from having a tough year last season.
“He’s a much more focused bowler this year and doesn’t let one mistake turn into three or four. He’s well on his way to a top 10 finish in the MAC,” commented Thorne. Simpson’s 556 was the series high for the match, getting help from his 200 in his second game.
Crimson Knight Justin Sayman ended as the team leader with a series of 401.
Oxford’s next match is Friday, December 20 when they travel to face Sidney. Afton will head to Greene the same day. Both matches are scheduled to start at 3:45 p.m.
