A day after Cedar Crest bowlers won the boys and girls singles titles, the school also captured the boys team state tournament title at 222 Lanes in Ephrata.

Norwin finished third in the qualifying round with 4,046 pins to reach the stepladder playoffs. The Knights beat Wilson, 2-1, in the quarterfinals before falling to Cedar Crest, 2-0, in the semifinals.

Hempfield was fifth, Plum took seventh, Ambridge ninth, Beaver Falls 11th, and Armstrong 12th.
