SWOC/ECC Tourney Ahead For Boys Bowling
SETTING THE SCENE: Following the holiday break, Milford stands at 3-4 overall and 3-3 in the ECC, good enough for third in the conference. The Eagles resume action with a non-conference date with Amelia, as well as the annual SWOC/ECC tourney.
Last year’s SWOC/ECC Tournament was memorable for the Eagles. Noah Dolezal set a new school record for 3 game series with a 671 and earned first team all-tournament honors, a first for the MHS boys bowling team at this event. Three Eagles averaged over 200 in three games: Dolezal, 223; Cooper, 218; and McGeorge, 201. The Eagles finished eighth of the fourteen teams.
A LOOK AHEAD: This week the Eagles will head to Cherry Grove Lanes to meet Amelia, and will then travel to Northwest Lanes to the annual SWOC/ECC Challenge.
- Wednesday, 1/4: Milford @ Amelia High School, Chery Grove Lanes, 3:30 pm
- Saturday, 1/7: Milford @ SWOC/ECC Challenge, Northwest Lanes, 9:00 am

Milford’s team ranks second in the ECC with a regular average of 858.8. Cooper, Dolezal and McGeorge of the Eagles are currently ranked near the top of the conference standings and are among the individual leaders in the ECC.

The ECC’s Glen Este held onto sixth. Kings (2) and Milford (1) were the only other ECC programs to receive votes in week six.
