By Bill Ryan Falcon bowlers earn trip to Intercollegiate championships Jordan Franks bowls 300 in Elks League Both the men’s and women’s bowling teams from Bowling Green State University performed well enough again this year to return to the national championship playoffs. Both teams qualified to compete in the sectional qualifiers where the top teams advance to the national championship. The grueling events involve four 16-game blocks so each team bowls 64 Baker-format games to attempt to make the national finals. The men’s team finished in ninth place in the Stratford, New Jersey sectional with 12,098 pins, better than 189 average.
