Ocoee's Mitchell top area bowler at state

High-school bowling came to an end last week with the conclusion of the 2014 FHSAA Bowling Finals, held at Boardwalk Bowl Entertainment Center in Orlando.

Two local bowlers competed at the two-day event as individuals. Ocoee’s Wanya Mitchell placed 68th in the qualifying round on Nov. 5 by rolling a 796, and Olympia’s Nicco Vicari placed 78th after rolling a 784. Neither bowler advanced to the bracketed tournament the next day.

The two bowlers qualified for state by placing within the top two individual slots at their respective district meets. 

Mitchell rolled a 700 at the District 8 meet to place first as an individual, and Vicari rolled a 668 at the District 9 meet to do the same.
