The Prairie Grove Unified Bowling Team has made our community proud with an outstanding performance at the Unified State Bowling Tournament in Little Rock! The team earned the SOAR High School State Bowling Champion title with 1st place. Competing against some of the best teams in the state, Prairie Grove secured 1st place in four divisions, with every team placing in their respective categories. A special congratulations goes to our Turkey Tigers—Jace Edwards, Jordan Martinez, Donovan McPherson, and Maddox Chism—who achieved the highest overall team score at the State Tournament! This incredible achievement earned them a spot at the AAA UCS Bowling - West event in Fayetteville on February 11th, where they’ll take on the Greenbrier Panther Braves.
