CENTRAL NEW YORK – A full week of good weather also meant a full week of bowling matches for Cicero-North Syracuse and Liverpool against Salt City Athletic Conference competition.
C-NS began its week earning a pair of 7-0 victories over Central Square last Monday afternoon at Strike-N-Spare Lanes.
Nehemiah Bachmann continued to pile up strikes for the C-NS boys, his games of 248, 233 and 257 producing a 738 series, one of the best so far in Section III this winter. Garrett Arnold and Cameron Miller both had 640 series, with Arnold shooting 209, 228 and 203 and Miller posting a high game of 228.
Terry Miller got a 259 game in his 618 series, with Ryan Daggett posting a 575 series and Hunter Baciuska a 548 set. Central Square’s Collin Edwards shot three straight 223s for his 669 series equaled by Owen Schuleter thanks to a third-game 268.

As a follow-up on Wednesday afternoon C-NS swept Oswego at Lighthouse Lanes. The 7-0 boys win over the Buccaneers was led by Terry Miller shooting 248 in between 219 and 209 games in his 676 series.
Arnold had the best game, though, landing 10 strikes in a second-game 279 during his 650 series. Daggett put up a 586 series with a 202 hgh game as Bachmann had 201 and 203 during his 564 series.

The C-NS boys were finally slowed down a bit in Friday’s 7-0 loss to Auburn at Strike-N-Spare, but this had more to do with the Maroons’ excellence on the lanes.
Auburn got a 771 series from Aiden Starratt with games of 258, 257 and 256, with Jack Sliwka starting with a 279 during his 720 series and Eric Barski getting 243 and 247 in his 703 set ahead of a 679 series from Caleb Pidlypchak (high game 256) and a 659 series from Lucas McConnell.
Even the Northstars couldn’t keep up with those numbers, though Arnold shot a 706 series with games of 223, 236 and 247. Bachmann got off to a slow start but still managed a 622 series with a 235 high game.
And the C-NS girls won 5-2 over Auburn, its pinfall 2,483 to the Maroons’ 2,332 led by Short and Draper each posting 503 series, Short starting with a 203 game. Schwartz added a three-game total of 437.
Liverpool found itself swept 7-0 in both sides of last Tuesday’s match against Auburn at Rainbow Lanes in Weedsport, with Sara Conover’s 489 series the best individual performance by either girls side,
Mykey Hatherill led the Liverpool boys team shooting 220 and 227 during his 600 series. Tanner Gist finished with a 214 in his 559 series, while Jahkir Jackson earned a 545 series (high game 185) and Kyle Lake’s 510 series beat out a 505 set from Kaden Lake and 503 series from Gianni Queior.
They all trailed three Maroons bowlers, including Barski, who nabbed a 268 in his 691 series as Starratt had a steady 647 series and McConnell’s 211 and 227 were part of a 615 series.
