KENNEWICK — The Kennewick Lions earned their seventh trip to state in nine years with a second-place finish in the 3A/2A competition at the District 5/6 girls bowling championship Friday at Spare Time Lanes.

Selah edged the Lions by 94 pins to take the 3A/2A title and the first of two available state berths. Moses Lake rolled a 3,639 to walk away with the 4A championship and the division's sole ticket to the state finals scheduled to begin Thursday at Narrows Plaza Bowl in Tacoma.

Kennewick had three girls place among the top eight in the 3A/2A race, with Daicee Singer third overall with 532 pins. Karissa Shiflet tied Selah's Taylor Jones for fifth with a 524, and Megan Weir finished a pin back in seventh.

"I was very proud of them," Kennewick coach Oscar Garnica said of his team. "They did well the first three games and were up by 56 pins (against West Valley). The bakers didn't turn out as well as we hoped, but they kept fighting through it."
