High School Business teacher, Mary Long made a presentation and request to the Board
of Education for approval to form a bowling team as a club sport. Mr. Harris, Athletic
Director indicated that he had contacted districts in our competition area and found that
23 other schools currently have either a “club” bowling team or a sanctioned team,
several of which would be able to include a Lexington team in at least one competition
this year.
Mrs. Long presented a list of about 20 students who have already expressed a serious
interest in the team, which would be fully paid for by the parents, with no expense to
Lexington Schools. She also indicated that Bob Cook from Lex Lanes has offered to
help with scheduling time for practices and competition.
The first day of practice that is permitted for bowling is November 13th and the season
typically lasts until February.
After some discussion about the cost and future of this sport, Mr. Stoner made a motion
to approve bowling as a club sport, pending being able to find a coach who meets OHSAA
requirements and adequate numbers of participants. Mr. Heck seconded the motion and the
Board voted to unanimously to approve bowling as a club sport for Lexington students.
