The Knoxville Bowling Squads fell to Bondurant-Farrar on Saturday. The boys lost to the Bluejays 2,962-2,312. Kyler Reidel rolled a high game for the Panthers of 190 and a high series of 379. Coach Shaun Renard tells KRLS Sports with some many of his boys able to get a large number of pinfall each meet, it is a tough decision of how to set up the baker games.

Renard:
I don’t have that 1 or 2 this year, instead I have 2/3 of my boys squad to set up those baker games, that does hep make my decision to set up the baker games and their solid kids so I can’t ask for much more than that.”

The girls also lost 2,238-1,909. Kiana Brown had a high series of 297 and a high game of 185. The Panthers’ next meet is Saturday January ninth at Sigourney.
