Webber International University finished third overall at the Bowlero Southern Classic, held Nov. 7-8 in Austell, Georgia. The coed bowling program’s varsity Warriors reached that position after advancing through qualifying and match play. Freshman Westyn Griffin also earned second place on the All-Tournament Team.
Webber finished fourth in qualifying after five individual games and 16 Baker games. The Warriors opened match play against Pikeville and moved into the consolation bracket after the loss. Webber then defeated Belmont Abbey to secure third place overall.
Griffin posts Webber’s top individual finish
Griffin totaled 1,272 pins across five individual games. The freshman averaged 254 pins per game at the Bowlero Southern Classic. That performance placed Griffin second on the All-Tournament Team.
JV squads add top-four finishes
Webber’s junior varsity teams also finished among the tournament’s top four competitors. JV1 placed fourth overall with 4,664 pins. JV2 finished third with 4,787 pins.
Webber scheduled for Las Vegas Invitational
Webber will compete next in the Glenn Carlson Las Vegas Invitational. The event is scheduled for Dec. 18-19 at South Point in Las Vegas, Nevada. The tournament will follow Webber’s three top-four finishes at the Bowlero Southern Classic.
FSB Take
Webber’s result included a third-place varsity finish and top-four placements from both junior varsity teams. Griffin’s second-place All-Tournament Team finish added the program’s top individual recognition from the event. The Glenn Carlson Las Vegas Invitational gives Webber its next scheduled competition after the broad team showing in Austell.
