Bowling is one of the most recent additions to the slate of MHSAA tournaments, with just more than a decade of history as an association-sponsored sport.
But it's also one that continues to grow in popularity, with both girls and boys bowling setting participation records during the 2015-16 school year.
Here's a look at the brief tournament history for the sport. This feature is from the spring issue of benchmarks, built and written by Rob Kaminski. Scroll to the bottom of the page for links to our previous installments.

Performance of the Week: Holton's Tuff Scott
December 16, 2022
Tuff Scott ♦ Holton
Junior ♦ Bowling
In just his second year of organized bowling, Scott rolled a Holton school-record 248 during a Dec. 7 match against Ludington. He added a 191 score as the Red Devils defeated the Orioles 29-1. Scott broke the record by three pins, besting past teammate Bo Larabee’s 245 rolled last season.
Scott, a two-handed bowler, is averaging 220 pins per game this season. He caught on fast in his debut last winter, and finished 13th at his singles Regional – just 22 pins from qualifying for the MHSAA Division 4 Final. His team could also take that step this season after finishing fifth in Regional competition last season; the Red Devils also return Finals singles qualifier Chase Albright among others.
