Papermaker bowlers keep crashing pins

Emily McDonald turns the bowling ball loose Wednesday at Big Al’s, while Hunter Lytle, Rebekah Curtis, Katie Hull and Porsche Chartrand cheer her on. The Camas girls knocked down a school record 1,764 pins, but it wasn’t enough to beat Kelso.

Bowling pins were falling for the Camas Papermakers like rows of dominoes Wednesday.

Porsche Chartrand, Rebekah Curtis, Emily McDonald, Katie Hull and Hunter Lytle earned several combinations of strikes, splits and spares. As the cheers grew louder with each roll, the Papermakers couldn't wait for their next throw.

"I was happy about how the positive energy kept flowing through both games and the baker," Chartrand said. "Once you get that strike streak rolling, it's easy sailing from there."
