(La Porte, IN) - The boys’ bowling team from La Porte High School has been recognized for its championship season.

Head Coach Keith Gaekle went over the team’s achievements such as a first place finish in the Duneland Conference along with sectional title during last night’s La Porte City Council meeting.

The team also finished third in the regionals and fifth in the semi-state tournament.  Gaekle said the team will next compete in the state finals for just the second time in school history at  Ft. Wayne on February 14.  “It’s been a remarkable season,” he said.

Gaekle also revealed the boys qualified for the national finals to be held in Columbus, Ohio in June.  Each member of the team shook hands with Mayor Tom Dermody and, together, had their picture taken with Dermody, members of the city council and other members of the administration.
