The Waukon bowling teams had their first competitions following the holiday break book-end this past week, opening the week with a Monday, January 8 match at North Fayette Valley in West Union rescheduled from its previous date of Friday, January 5 before closing it with a Friday, January 12 home date with Waterloo Columbus. The Indians split their date at North Fayette Valley, the Waukon girls falling by a 1665-1578 final result and the boys pulling out a 2302-2188 victory, before both teams rolled season-high totals but still fell to Waterloo Columbus, the Indian girls by a 2105-1828 result and the Indian boys coming up just 18 pins short in a 2716-2698 final, that 2698 being the Waukon boys’ highest match score ever in its brief program history.
