The Card­ing­ton girls’ bowl­ing team claimed a dis­trict cham­pi­onship on Sat­ur­day over 17 other teams.

The Lady Pirates totaled 3682 pins to fin­ish ahead of Briggs’ 3614. The pre­vi­ous week­end had seen Briggs fin­ish in front of Card­ing­ton in the sec­tional meet.

In reg­u­la­tion, the Pirates scored 2575 pins and then added 1107 more in the Baker games. Both totals were the best team scores for the day.

Card­ing­ton was able to boast three of the top six indi­vid­ual scores on their way to the team title. Esther Elliott fin­ished third with a total of 585 pins, while Mor­gan Edgell was fifth with 565 and Austin Elliott took sixth with 563.

Lexia Wil­son placed 50th with 447, while both Lind­sey Gilmore and Mor­gan Walker also bowled at least one of three indi­vid­ual rounds for Cardington.

The High­land girls also com­peted in the meet and placed 16th over­all with 2805 pins.

In the boys’ dis­trict meet, which was held Fri­day, two local teams and an indi­vid­ual took the lanes.

Card­ing­ton fin­ished sev­enth with 3676 pins, but fell just over 200 pins shy of a top-three fin­ish and a spot at the state meet.

Aaron Sanders placed 13th over­all with 592 pins to high­light the Pirate effort. Gar­rett Boller fin­ished 17th with 584 pins and Liam Chan­dler took 48th with 518. Also, Noah Lin­st­edt and Jacob Long both scored 453 pins to tie for 75th.
