BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The Lindsey Wilson men's bowling team competed on day one of the Mid-South Conference bowling championships on Thursday at Southern Lanes.

Action opened with singles and doubles competition in the morning, followed by the start of team bracket play in the afternoon.

The first portion of the day saw Nick Blakey pace the Blue Raiders with a 29^th-place finish in singles. The junior rolled a 235 in his first game and ended with a three-game total of 595.

Braxton Crook – 590 – finished two spots behind Blakey in 31^st and Peyton Huskey – 575 – closed in 36^th.

Jason Womack (48^th, 551), Connor Fromme (52^nd, 537), Cameron Farmer (55^th, 516), Peyton Troutt (56^th, 512), and Cole Greathouse (61^st, 484) rounded out Lindsey Wilson's showing in singles.

Team-play matched Lindsey Wilson up with Tennessee Wesleyan in a rematch of last year's championship series. The Bulldogs won games one and two of the best-of-seven match before the Blue Raiders answered back in game three, 169-137. Games four and five turned in shootouts as both sides cracked the 200-pin threshold.
