Southern Regional junior K.C. Hallihan isn’t sure about the last time coach Tony Salvatore was truly impressed with one of his teams, but he can sense “Sal” is really warming up to his current batch of bowlers.

“I can see it on his face, by the way he talks to us. I think we’re really impressing Sal this year, and that’s hard to do,” said Hallihan, after he and the Rams scored a 3-0 victory over Central Regional on Jan. 9.
