“The pins really fell our way! Who would have thought that in only our second year with a bowling team, we could actually sweep the league at all three team levels,” exclaimed Chuck DuPont, one of the Assabet Valley bowling coaches. “None of our sending districts have bowling teams, so when a couple of students asked me if I’d be willing to help them start a team and then be the coach, I agreed. Now we have myself and John Allard as coaches, and have enough students for three levels of play. The two top levels, our A and B teams, will be competing at the state championships in Great Barrington this coming weekend, and four of our A team members will be competing in the individual state championships out there on Sunday. This has been quite a ride already,” he continued.
