However, individually, junior Haley Rogers placed fourth overall to nab one of the two individual state berths. Rogers led the Chiefs with 525 pins over the course of three games to earn a spot in the final meet of the year.
Rogers needed a big score in her final game, trailing eventual fifth-place finisher Colby Hull of Eastmont by 29 pins after two games.
She was able to deliver.
Rogers rolled a 203 — third-highest among all competitors — to beat out Hull for the final state berth by 27 pins.
