Bowling: November matches at Strike Zone

Lewisburg boys and girls next face Center Hill November 6 at Strike Zone, a neutral-site match. These are also the next verified listings for Center Hill boys and girls.

Lake Cormorant girls appear against Lewisburg December 9 at Strike Zone; a corresponding boys fixture is not verified. All display 4:15 p.m. with the same unresolved time issue. Opponents’ complete schedules were unavailable, so earlier fixtures remain possible.
