For the fifth year in a row, the Nebraska High School Bowling Federation (NHSBF) State Championships will be taped for broadcast by Nebraska Educational Television (NET).
Lincoln’s Sun Valley Lanes hosts the event February 12-13. NET will tape the final round of the tournament from within the specially constructed “arena” inside the bowling center on Sunday, February 13.
Opening rounds of the tournament take place Saturday, February 12, at Hollywood Bowl, Parkway Lanes, Madsen’s Bowling & Billiards and Sun Valley Lanes. The cooperation among Lincoln’s bowling centers is one of the keys to the continued success of this event.
“The NHSBF partnerships with the Lincoln Bowling Association, the Nebraska Bowling Proprietors Association, QubicaAMF, and the Alan and Marcia Baer Foundation, make an event of this size and scope possible,” according to NHSBF Commissioner John Losito.
Losito adds, “The volunteer group that handles recording scores, managing the gate admissions, constructing the arena, and everything in between, is the reason this tournament remains the premier bowling event in Nebraska.”
Recognition for high school bowling by the Nebraska School Activities Association (NSAA) is the main goal of the NHSBF. “We have the support of many athletic directors across the state,” noted Losito, “but we continue to urge parents and students to talk with their school administrators about approving bowling as an NSAA-recognized sport.”
NET’s broadcast schedule for this year’s State Championships is Sunday, February 20,
8:00 – Noon Nebraska High School Girls Bowling Championships (taped) and Sunday, February 27 8:00 – Noon Nebraska High School Boys Bowling Championships (taped).
