MUSKEGON — The 2022-23 bowling season continues to get sweeter for Orchard View’s boys team and Oakridge junior Kira Twining.

Orchard View’s boys team, newly minted champion of the West Michigan Conference, added a Greater Muskegon Athletic Association tournament title to its season resume Wednesday at Northway Lanes.

The Cardinals defeated Fruitport and Ravenna in Baker-format GMAA finals and semifinal matches, respectively, en route to collecting the trophy.

On the girls side, Twining rolled a two-game 417 series (193-224) to capture the individual championship. This came two days after she finished first in the West Michigan Conference tourney in the same venue. Her score Wednesday would have placed her fourth in the boys’ GMAA competition.
