Pennsylvania State Western Regional Team Tournament at Bowlero Noble Manor Lanes:

Saturday, March 9th, 2024: The Butler girls finished seventh overall (out of 20 teams). The top-six advance to the PA State Team Championships. The Butler girls shot a 3123 total. This is comprised of three regular games and six “Baker” format games (each bowler bowls two frames of a game). The Golden Tornado girls were in the sixth spot after the three regulation games and after two of the Baker games, but slipped to seventh after four of the Baker games and couldn’t recover the ground needed to reach the state tournament for the 12^th time in program history. Kelsee McConnell had the eight-highest series of the tournament with a 535. Makenzie Zimmerman had a 524 (11^th-highest series of the tourney). Sophomore Julia Black had a career-best 447 series, good for 36^th overall. 

(Historical Note:   Hempfield is the team who edged the Butler girls from the state tournament -- Butler and Hempfield are now tied for the most state tournament appearances among all teams within the WPIBL.)
