The Buckeye Valley girls bowling team continued its perfect start to the season Friday, rolling past Marion Harding 1,659-1,548 to improve to 7-0.

“This was probably one of the better teams in our league, and while we didn’t shoot spares like we should have, we pushed through for the win,” BV coach Madonna Wells said.

Hailey Pennington led the Barons with a 303 series. Other standouts included Maya Wills-Durr (293) and Morgan Coe (290).
