THUNDERBIRDS SOAR TO HISTORIC STATE CHAMPIONSHIP VICTORY The Guy-Perkins Thunderbirds Bowling program etched its name into school history as the boys team captured the 2A–1A State Championship, setting a new school record with an incredible 4,042 total pin performance. The victory marks the first Boys Bowling State Championship title in school history and capped off a remarkable season for the Thunderbirds. BOYS: STATE CHAMPIONS – 4,042 TOTAL PINS The Thunderbirds delivered a dominant and balanced effort across the lineup. Sawyer Townsley led the charge, earning Team MVP and All-State honors with an outstanding 580 series. Dawson Watkins also earned All-State recognition, rolling a personal-best 554 series in the championship performance. The Thunderbirds’ power showed in individual games as well. Cardan Foster posted the team’s highest single game with a 212, followed closely by Watkins (210) and Koen Grantham (207). Additional strong single-game efforts came from Townsley (202), Owen Glover (196), and Tripp Webb (171), highlighting the team’s depth and consistency throughout the tournament. Head Coach Lisa Halk reflected on the journey to the title, saying: “I realized they had the potential early in the season to win it, and they set a team goal for themselves when we played Jacksonville early in the season. However, I knew it would require the right amount of motivation, dedication, and timing to get them there. I am so thrilled that they reached their goal of winning the State Championship!” GIRLS: 6TH PLACE FINISH AT STATE The Lady Thunderbirds also represented Guy-Perkins well, finishing 6th overall at the State Tournament with 2,506 total pins. Chloe Green led the team with a 378 series, while Anna Monahan rolled the team’s highest single game of 140 and finished with a 348 series. Other contributors included Zoe Kussmaul (354), Ryleigh Passmore (319), Caitlin Clark (288), and Savannah Duncan (257). With a historic championship secured, the Thunderbirds’ season isn’t over yet. The boys team will advance to the Overall State Championship in Jonesboro next Friday, February 20th, where they will compete against the best teams across all classifications. Congratulations to the Guy-Perkins Thunderbirds—and best of luck at Overall State! 🎳🏆
