Young's 256 game, 409 series propel West Holmes past TCC

Aubree Young’s 256 game — the highest single-game score listed by West Holmes in the match report — propelled the Lady Knights to a 1,796-1,452 win over Tuscarawas Central Catholic in nonleague play Feb. 5. Young finished with a 409 series (256 and 153), and Madison Brenneman added a 312 series (157 and 155) as West Holmes outscored TCC by 344 pins.

The scoring spread underscores how one standout performance on the lanes can swing a meet. West Holmes’ team total of 1,796 reflects depth behind Young and Brenneman; the published box score excerpt also lists a contribution from “Lily,” though the supplied match excerpt did not include her full name or series. Season coverage elsewhere identifies Lily Galehouse as a senior leader for West Holmes and credits her with third-team All-OCC honors, while that same roundup credited “Young” with first-team all-conference and conference all-tournament recognition.

Beyond the Feb. 5 result, the program’s recent individual successes suggest strong momentum. Senior Hailee North posted a 631 series at the district tournament, opening with 245 and 239 games to secure an individual victory and qualify as the first Knight for the D-II state tournament. West Holmes coach Chris Young praised North’s approach and consistency: “One of her best characteristics is that her throw is very consistent on each ball she throws,” he said. “She also has a lot of power behind her ball, which creates good pin action down the lane.” Coach Young added that North “has bowled all season with her mind on state bowling and always striving to be better.”

Program history adds perspective to Young’s achievement. OHSAA historical lists show past West Holmes-associated standouts such as Lisa Cline among career leaders; Aubree Young’s school-record single-game mark now becomes part of that trajectory, a data point local fans can point to when measuring program progress.

For Holmes County readers, the win and the individual marks matter both for school pride and for postseason positioning. Aubree Young’s 409 series and Brenneman’s 312 highlight a senior core that has carried the team through the season, and Hailee North’s district breakthrough shows the program can produce state qualifiers. With conference honors noted in local roundups and district-level success on the roster, West Holmes heads into the closing weeks of the winter season with momentum and a trio of seniors at the center of the program’s narrative.

Next up for the Lady Knights will be regular-season tests and the run toward conference and district finals; Aubree Young’s new school record gives West Holmes a headline performance to rally around as the postseason approaches.
