COLUMBIA, Ky. – The Lindsey Wilson men's and women's bowling teams begin Mid-South Conference regular-season competition this weekend in Smyrna, Tennessee, with a pair of tournaments at the Smyrna Bowling Center.

The Blue Raiders open the weekend Saturday at the Lynne Jordan Memorial Classic before returning to the lanes Sunday for the Brandon Burns Memorial Classic.

Last season, the Lindsey Wilson men improved from a 12th-place finish on Saturday to sixth place on Sunday. Connor Woosley led the Blue Raiders, finishing inside the top 12 in both tournaments to earn Mid-South Conference Bowler of the Week honors.

Woosley enters the weekend averaging 197.5 pins through eight games this season, while Cole Greathouse follows with a 186.5 average across eight games. Both bowlers have recorded a top-10 finish through the team's first two tournaments.

On the women's side, Lindsey Wilson looks to improve upon last season's 14th- and 16th-place finishes in Smyrna. Shayla Bockelman paced the Blue Raiders in both tournaments a year ago, recording averages of 167.5 and 148.3, respectively. The sophomore enters this weekend averaging 161.0 through five games.
