North Mason's Isabella Oblizalo and Sarah Pruitt qualified for the state bowling tournament after competing at the district tournament Jan. 29 at Paradise Lanes in Parkland.
The end of the season has been interesting for the Bulldogs after being unable to participate in the league tournament due to COVID-19.
"We thought our season was going to be over as the league tournament determines who advances to districts," North Mason coach Rob Thomas said in an email to the Journal. "The Olympic League decided that was going to be unfair and voted to allow three of our girls in to compete as individuals. Once I received word from the league about this, I ran some quick averages and determined that Aspen Plass with a 132 season average, Isabella Oblizalo with a 127 season average and Sarah Pruitt with a 125 season average would be our three girls to compete in districts."
There were 40 individual bowlers competing for nine spots in the state tournament. Oblizalo finished with a total of 420 after three games and Pruitt totaled 408 pins, both girls bowling over their season average. Oblizalo finished seventh and Pruitt placed ninth to earn a spot at state in their first year bowling. Plass didn't qualify
"The girls will continue to practice this week and work on a few adjustments that we noticed over the games at districts and we will be ready to rock and roll come Friday at state," Thomas said. "Go Dogs!"
Oblizalo and Pruitt will compete in the state 1A/2A bowling tournament Friday at Narrows Plaza Bowl in University Place.
