February 2011

Hey kids, what time is it?

With apologies to Howdy Doody, it’s Nebraska High School Bowling State Championship Tournament time!

Lincoln will welcome again all the teams that are going to come to town with the goal of being the best in their class. It’s a great weekend, and our host centers do a fantastic job of putting on the opening rounds.

Opening Round Action

All the opening round action begins Saturday, February 12.

Class A Boys action takes place at Sun Valley Lanes, beginning at 2pm.

Class A Girls compete at Madsen’s, beginning at 8am.

Class B action for Boys and Girls will be at Sun Valley Lanes, with a start time of 7:30am.

Class C competition for Boys and Girls will be hosted by Parkway Lanes, with a 10am start.

Class D competition for Boys and Girls will take place at Hollywood Bowl, with a 9am start.

Get There Early

The teams need to be at their host center on Saturday at least an hour before the times listed for their class. This gives everyone the time they need to get checked in and settled in.

Finals on NET

Once again we have the great fortune to have the State Championship Finals taped for broadcast by NET.

The Girls finals will air on Sunday, February 20, from 8am – Noon.

The Boys finals will air the following week, February 27, from 8am – Noon.

Thanks to our Sponsors

We continue to be appreciative of our great sponsors who make it possible for the arena-finals to be broadcast.

This year again, we say thanks in advance to the Alan and Marcia Baer Foundation, the Lincoln Bowling Association, and Qubica/AMF for their support.
