JV CHS 1 battled CHS 2 to see who would keep pace with CHS 3….confused, we are too, but great bowling today as CHS 2 and 3 won all 4 games, while CHS 1 dropped all for to CHS 2. Cole Skowron ‘27 led all sets with 587 and Charlie Benzin ‘27 had high game of 212! #growingdaybyday



I've cheered on my kids in all kinds of competitions, including soccer, baseball, Irish dancing, track & field, hockey, indoor & outdoor lacrosse, volleyball, flag football and basketball, how do we cheer bowling?

Congratulations to the 2023-2024 student athletes who made this year’s bowling team! #alwaysbelieveinfamily #traditionnevergraduates
