IOWA CITY — Two Solon Spartans, Carson Reid and Trendon Walker, will don Iowa City High School red this winter as they once again bowl for the Little Hawks.
Reid, a senior, has been bowling for three years and is a two-time State Tournament qualifier who finished tenth last year with 690 (225-239-226) in pre-bracket play coming up just short of the eight- man cut off. Reid was third on the Little Hawks’ squad in total pins knocked down last year with 4,334 in 20 games played with a high game of 258 and high score of 488. During the off season Reid bowls competitively around the country with tournaments ranging from the Quad City Youth Scholarship and Greater Iowa Scholarship to traveling to Las Vegas for a shot at joining Team USA.
He also competed against 1,331 others in the Under-18 boys division to compete in the Junior Gold Championship Tournament where he finished in the top 3% with a 59th place finish. Walker, a junior this year, bowled in 22 games for a total of 4,204 pins knocked down with a high game of 258 and a high score of 481.
Overall the Little Hawks went 4-6 in dual meets, finished fifth in Prairie’s Boys Baker Tournament, won the Mississippi Valley Conference (MVC) Falley Divisional Meet, and won a triangular meet against Marion and Vinton-Shellsburg.
The season opens Tuesday, Nov. 26 as City High welcomes Dubuque Senior at Colonial Lanes, 2253 Old Hwy. 218 S. in Iowa City at 3:15 p.m.
