MUSKEGON — Ravenna’s girls bowling team rolled to West Michigan Conference tournament and overall titles this season. The Bulldogs hope to keep the positive momentum going with the MHSAA state tourney around the corner in their home house, Northway Lanes.

Oakridge’s boys bowling team came up just short in the overall WMC race, but the Eagles did win the conference tournament championship.

Ravenna’s girls and Oakridge’s boys claimed even more hardware Wednesday afternoon as Greater Muskegon Athletic Association tourney champions at Northway Lanes.

Whitehall’s Ava Garcia and Mona Shores’ Skylor Bosch captured individual GMAA titles for girls and boys, respectively.
