This is Bennett’s second consecutive year winning the state title. He and Boyd both placed first at the Lancaster-Lebanon competition last month as well, the second time for both of them.

During team competition, Boyd and Bennett took the top spots on their respective All-State Teams, with Boyd having the Girls High Game (246) and Bennett the second highest Boys game (277). Another Cedar Crest bowler, Darren Zombro III, also made the Boys All-State Team.
