Big Red Bowlers beat Goodpasture Christian in tight battle

The Big Red Bowlers took on Goodpasture Christian this afternoon, and the two teams proved to be evenly matched. 
After the first round, MBA was up 8-2, but if it were not for John Wallace finishing his 10th frame with a strike to win his game 215-213, and the team holding a narrow lead in pinfall (996-976), the score would have been 3-5.
Round two was even closer, with Goodpasture winning 3 games, MBA 2, one game tied, and MBA edging pinfall 958-955!
It was only in round three that the Big Red pulled away, winning 19.5 to 7.5 (a score that doesn't do the closeness on the match any justice).
I was impressed at the great spirit in which the match was played, despite how close it was, and I was proud of the boys not wavering in their focus and belief when the opposition seemed to match us strike (and spare) for strike.
