Jeff Bailey won two state championships as bowling coach for the Plainfield South boys and Joliet West girls while also helping establish the program at Joliet Junior College. He died on May 8 after a long illness.

Madi Lave, a Lockport graduate, has capped her career off with a second national title.

From Joliet West's state championship last year to the excellent run of bowlers this year, the game continues to grow around Will County and beyond.
