For the very first time in the history of Colerain Cardinal Girl Bowling, they have earned a coveted berth to the OHSAA State Championships as a team.  The Cards are coached by Jenna Coldiron and team members are: Lauren Dewald, Paige Geer, Ruby McAninch, Isabelle, Snyder, Sarah Harris and Kaile Lawson. After a 7-2 GMC record and an overall 10-4 regular season, the Cardinals have really stepped up their game to place themselves in the State Championships. Best of luck to the Cardinal keglers!

Normally, Fairfield athletes going to state parade through the halls with the marching band, but -- due to COVID -- a sendoff video of the head-shaving was presented instead during a homeroom Friday. Already looking faster, this relay team is primed for success!
