WAVERLY – After taking the sectional title a few weeks ago, the Norwich Boys Bowling team is not done claiming titles. After taking the top spot in the Section IV State Qualifying tournament in Waverly, Norwich will head to the New York State Championship tournament on Saturday, March 10 at the Syracuse On Center.

Finishing with a team score of 8196 over the course of nine games, the Purple Tornado finished ahead of Waverly by 170 pins. Greene also participated in the tournament and place sixth but only the top team in the division was able to move on.

All teams and individual bowlers attempting to qualify for the state championships bowled six games at the qualifiers and their three games from the Section IV championship tournament. The six games bowled were done in two sessions, a morning and afternoon.

In the morning session, Norwich controlled the lead by just 16 pins over second place Waverly. Norwich was led by Cameron Birtch’s 615. One session later, the Tornado were led by Nick Deady’s 595.
