After striking some big numbers at provincials, three Prince Albert bowlers are rolling on to nationals.

Braden Akers, Charlie Spitzack and Hailee Anderson-Nilson have all been named to the All-Star Team that will represent Saskatchewan at the end of May. The provincial round of competition for the youth challenge was held last Sunday at Saskatoon’s Eastview Bowl.

There were three teams from Prince Albert competing (men’s, ladies and mixed) and after five hard fought games, they all finished with a medal. The ladies team won bronze, and both the men ‘s and mixed teams won silver.
