A pair of bantam-aged bowlers from the Camrose area have earned an extraordinary opportunity to bring recognition to their community. For the first time in 41 years, these energetic youth bowlers will represent Tabb Lanes and the community on the national stage. With the support of their coach Bryan, Ryder and Paxton have put together an impressive season. Their journey began in Camrose on February 8, when they competed against 12 teams and secured top spot in the Central Alberta region. They carried that momentum into provincials in Edmonton on March 8, when they faced 11 teams and claimed the provincial bantam title. Their continued success has now earned them a place among the top youth bowlers in the country. The team will travel to Manitoba to compete in the Youth Bowling Canada 5-Pin National Championships with the goal of becoming the number one bantam boys' team in Canada. At nationals, eight teams from across the country will compete in a 21-game format to determine the national champions.
