It’s almost a given that most of the girls bowling teams in the Shore Conference South B division won’t touch Manchester, the squad at the top of the standings for the past few years. But Pinelands coach James Becker isn’t too concerned with trying to chase down the Hawks for the top spot in the division. Instead, just some more wins will do fine.

“Last year, we were 2-14 in matches, 6-42 in games. So I look forward to our girls competing this season,” Becker said.
