Both the men’s and women’s bowling teams of Kossuth High School completed their quest for gold in early 2022, sweeping both Class I state titles and earning the fourth straight state championship for the girls and their fifth for the boys.

“The whole team contributed to this win,” said head coach Michael Lee of the boys’ title match after play had concluded. The Aggies finished their season with a 10-3 record overall, and had to battle from fourth place to claim the second seed of the final tournament. The title capped off a lengthy resume for the Aggies this season, after they placed third in the tournament of champions earlier this season in Jackson and another podium finish at the Blue Mountain College tournament.

The Lady Aggies continued their bowling dominance, earning the fifth state championship in the program’s young history. They competed the 2021-22 season without suffering a defeat, setting their final record at 13-0. The team isn’t even close to being done yet, though, according to Lee.

Understandably so, the Lady Aggies had numerous bowlers make the all-state team. Sophomores Lynley Woodruff, Maddie Mask, Emily Mann and Sally Kate Gardner all earned all-state honors for their performances.

Gardner was atop the leader board throughout the bowling season.

“The Lady Aggies haven’t been beaten since early in the 2018-19 season with a young but extremely seasoned team. There are five sophomores, two freshmen, and two 7th graders,” said Lee.

The girls squad isn’t the only one with enough youth to maintain their success, though, as the men’s squad boasts a successful young roster themselves.

The boys’ roster boasts two juniors and a whopping 10 sophomores, placing KHS right back in the hunt to repeat in both divisions.

“I absolutely love these teams with all my heart,” Lee explained. “They will give their all every single frame. They will leave it all on the lanes and never give up. The fight in them is priceless.”

Overall, the KHS program is turning into a bowling dynasty, with the trophy case growing year after year, with plenty of opportunities to repeat their title runs in the future.
