Athletes Of The Week

Eli Stelter and Graham Copley

Anderson Bowling

At the ECC Tournament on Friday, Eli, a senior, rolled games of 225, 225, and 202. His 652 series on the tough Sectional pattern was enough to make the All-Tournament Team. He helped Anderson finish as tournament runners-up and lock up second place in the conference. Graham, also a senior, rolled games of 266 and 249 on Monday against Mason. His 515 series ranks second in the ECC this year and is the highest two-game series for an Anderson bowler since 2016.


Bella Basford

Senior, Anderson Diving

As we approach the State Dive Meet, I would like to recognize Bella, not only as Athlete of the Week but honestly Athlete of the Season. She was Champion at every big meet diving had this year. Bella was Champion at our ECC Meet, the Milford Invitational, the Southwest Classic Meet, and both the Sectional and District Meets. Along the way, she continues to get PRs. Her best score to date was at Districts with 446.75. Bella is an exceptional athlete and an equally loved teammate. Congratulations, Bella, on an amazing season of diving.


Lebanon Girls Bowling Team

Lebanon Bowling

The Lebanon girls entered Friday's ECC Tournament in a three-way tie for second place. They started off bowling a 767 game and held an early 83 pin lead. Following games of 639 and 701, their lead shrunk to just one pin ahead of West Clermont with six bakers remaining. They started off slow in the baker round, bowling games of 134 and 124 to fall into second place, but then bowled games of 201, 181, 118, and 177 to take a 118-pin lead and win the tournament. The 767 game and 201 baker were both highs for the tournament. The team was led by Caitlyn Kober with a 482 series (fifth overall) and Adara Bowling with a 459 series (seventh overall). The tournament win, combined with a second-place regular season finish, was enough for the Lady Warriors to also win the ECC Conference Championship. The team consists of freshman Savannah Billiter; sophomores Adara Bowling, Kaelynn Boyd, and Ryleigh Connor; juniors Melissa Fields and Caitlyn Kober; and senior Becca Uli.
