CHANNAHON — At least five bowlers will compete for Minooka Friday and possibly Saturday at the Boys Bowling State Final Tournament at the St. Clair Bowl in O'Fallon.

The scores from all of them will count the same, but coach Derrick Rapsky makes no secret of how much the Indians will lean on three bowlers — senior Justin Shepard and juniors John Kauffman and Zach Segatto.

"You never say never, but it's tough to imagine a situation where I would take any of those three guys out of the lineup," Rapsky said. "Even if they're bowling 180, 180, they could very well come back with a 240 in the next game, and then they've given you a 600 series. We're going to look for those three guys to carry us. That puts the pressure on them, but they're up to it."
