LONE TREE | The 2025 Unified Bowling season saw its final rolls Friday, as 29 teams filled the lanes at Lucky Strike Lone Tree to decide the state championship.
Among those teams were three from the Aurora area in Eaglecrest, Hinkley and Vista PEAK Prep, which all qualified from the same regional tournament. At the state tournament, teams rolled three co-ed modified Baker games — in which participants alternate shots — with the final standings determined by total pinfall.
Coach Mark Bliss’ Vista PEAK Prep team of seniors Natalie Elliott and Robert Wilson, juniors Kamyah Louis and Amare Peterson and sophomore Miley Grace Mendez earned area-best honors with a 27th-place total of 379, which was five pins clear of 28th-place Hinkley (374) with 29th-place Eaglecrest at 346.
The Thunder — coached by Samantha O’Keefe — were comprised of junior Josh Miranda, sophomores Suis Fernandez Cervantes, Rylee Mansanares and Anazi Ward and freshman Kyree Spillis, while coach Kim Sanford’s Raptors included seniors Charlie Carney and Sydney Ellis, sophomore Peyton Squires and freshmen Mackinsey Cehura and Timmy Jackson.
The team championship went to Lakewood with 649, followed by Legacy at 612.
