Southwest Washington had — and is having — another strong performance at the championships.
Reagan Lorey of Hudson’s Bay finished third in the 3A/2A event.
In the 4A championships, Cassandra Huit and Adrianne Schock, both of Battle Ground, finished fourth and fifth, respectively. Together, they have the Tigers in prime position to win their fourth consecutive team title on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Columbia River is in first place in the 3A/2A team competition.
The team titles will be determined Saturday, with each team competing in 14 Baker games. Battle Ground leads second-place Bethel by 299 pins. Columbia River is 132 pins ahead of R.A. Long.
The individual competition ended Friday.
Heying’s 1,242 pins finished second to Megan Wittenberg of Bremerton, who ended up with 1,283.
Heying did all she could — she rolled a series of 644 in her final three games. But Wittenberg had a 713 finish to the day.
“At first, I was frustrated,” Heying said, noting that she and Wittenberg were on the same lanes all day, so they always knew where the other stood. “She put up a tough fight. I give props to her. She bowled great. I can’t be mad at my scores. I feel I did very well.”
