Fourth-year coach Steven Poppe said the team has faced five of the toughest schools in the area early on this season, but he hopes that will prepare the team for the district tournament come October.
“They come to practice every day, and they are good kids,” Poppe said. “And that’s all you can really ask for.”
Both the boys and the girls team feature young bowlers. The top four on the boys side include one junior, two sophomores and a senior. The top four girls includes one freshman and three juniors.
Next up, the FPC bowling team will square off against DeLand Tuesday, Sept. 18, at DeLand.
