All-County Bowling Team Dominated By Sparkman Senators
HARVEST- The post-season honors continue to pour in for the Sparkman High bowling program as 11 members of its team were named as part of the All-County Teams. The selections come on the heels of the Sparkman boys winning the Class 6-7A AHSAA State Championship and the Lady Senators finishing runner-up.
“Their efforts were a total team effort through the North Regionals and State Tournament,” said Lisa Ivey head coach of the Sparkman program. “The boys fought hard with high concentration levels in the State Finals where they defeated Spain Park. The girls didn’t bowl their best, but were still in the hunt tied 2-2 in the finals against American Christian only to see American Christian win the final two games for the state title.”
The All-County Teams were selected by coaches’ nominations. As expected, Sparkman had the most bowlers selected among the elite group, while Bob Jones and James Clemens had four student-athletes each chosen for the listings.
The All-County Teams included First Team: Boys- Dalton Tolgo, Sparkman, (188.7 avg.), Alfonso Carrington III, Sparkman (202.0), Joshua Norris, Bob Jones, Aidan Wells, James Clemens; Girls- Angela Webber, Sparkman (190.4), Jenna Webber, Sparkman (176.7), Natalie Alsup, Sparkman (169.3), Rebekah Wagner, James Clemens.

Honorable Mention: Boys- Rory Donnelly, Sparkman (183.9), Ayden McArthur, Sparkman (171.5), Parker Cushing, Bob Jones; Girls- Kylee Christler, Bob Jones.
