Bowling

The varsity bowling season resumed for North Jersey on Saturday with the Jefferson Falcon Frenzee tournament up at Sparta Lanes. Taglines still has some leftover notebook items aside from the recap in Sunday’s Record, but we’ll get to those as the week goes on.

Now it’s time to get caught up on all the league/division standings, starting with the boys today. Some numbers that jump out: Indian Hills’ unbeaten record is not necessarily a surprise, but how about West Milford starting 42-0 in the Big North points standings? … Harrison was unbeaten until Monday, when Queen of Peace swept the Blue Tide, 5-0, to tighten up things atop the NJIC Patriot Division. … In NJIC Meadowlands, Hasbrouck Heights has tripled its win total from last season, starting 3-3 in match play (22-13 in points), while Passaic Charter picked up the first win in program history in its final match before the holiday break, 5-0 over Wood-Ridge.

Here are the most up-to-date standings, based on results reported to The Record through Monday. REMINDER: Big North matches are 3 games/7 points total, and there is both intra-divisional and cross-divisional play. NJIC matches are 2 games/5 points, in-division only…
