LUDINGTON — Despite enjoying some of their best individual scores of the season, the Ludington boys and girls bowling teams could not match Ravenna on Wednesday. 

Ravenna’s boys defeated Ludington 22-8 and the girls won 27-3. 

“Ravenna is a tough team to face, and even though the match points don’t show it, our teams bowled very well today,” said Ludington coach Maggie Bates.  “For the boys, we had the most consistent Bakers we have had all season. For the girls, our Bakers were okay, but need some work. However, their individual games and team totals were some of their best and most consistent.”
