OPELIKA —
Opelika Athletics announced via Twitter last week that Opelika High School (OHS) will be adding a bowling team.
Bowling is a winter sport, coinciding with basketball, wrestling and indoor track. It will be a varsity sport which will be open to grades seven through 12. Bowling is sanctioned by the AHSAA, and all eligibility requirements will be observed.
OHS bowling will compete in the 6A/7A classification in Region 3, which includes Auburn, Benjamin Russell, Central, Pike Road, Prattville, Sidney Lanier and Stanhope Elmore.
“This will be a competitive team that includes in-season and off-season commitments,” the release said. “The goal is to have both a boys and a girls team.”
Announcements regarding sign-up information will be made when school resumes, and a parent/player meeting will soon follow that. For now, those interested in signing up for the Opelika High School bowling team, please email Athletic Director Jamie Williams at jamie.williams@opelikaschools.org.
