The official web site for the Berea High School (Ohio) bowling team. We compete in the Greater Cleveland Interscholastic Bowling League with 19 other schools. Berea had not competed in this league since 1992.
The GCIBL has a standard 7 point system to keep track of standings (2 points for a win, 0 for a loss, and 1 point for a total pins victory). Points are won/lost in both scratch & handicap categories.

Program on Hiatus in 2008/09
Sadly, the OHSAA ruling (back in May 2008) targeting club sports has put a halt to our program for the upcoming season. We hope to return for the 2009/10 season.
Thanks to all the support from the bowlers, parents, and school administrators who helped us along from 2001-2008.
Feel free to browse this site if you wish to relive some of our glory from prior years. Our team went 135-12 in 2003/04, followed by a 126-21 the next year, for an astounding 261-33 record over two seasons... the best GCIBL team ever in a two year period that featured two league championships.

Braves Close Season with Sweep
We swept the Central Catholic Ironmen in the last match of the season up at Buckeye Lanes. Jeff Light narrowly missed a 700 series, rolling a 692 for a season high.
The Braves are graduating 5 seniors: Eric Bartek and Ryan Theberge, who bowled for three seasons, and rookies Jeff Light, Dave Jones, and Brenton Copenhover.
Nicki Lewis and Amanda Brandt should return next year, but we need to find some new blood to keep the program alive.

Light Lights Up Central Catholic
Jeff Light's 299 in game #3 helped the Braves get their first scratch points of the season vs. Cleveland Central Catholic this week. The Braves won 5 scratch points, and 5 handicap points.
Jeff buried the pocket on the front 11 shots, only to leave a 2 pin on his last ball in the 300 attempt. The 299 ties Jeff for the highest game in school history (Tim Haywood, Billy Magee). His game fueled a 640 series, his season high. Eric Bartek and Dave Jones added 518 & 505 series, while Nicki Lewis rolled her highest game to date in game #3, a 178. Ryan Theberge returned from football season to see his first action of the year.
