SILVER CREEK — The Silver Creek-Forestville Unified Bowling Team was on a roll earlier this month. In fact, the team did so well at the sixth Unified Bowling Championship event, it brought home a first place finish in its division.
Students from 28 different schools came together on March 3 at Airport Lanes in Cheektowaga at the Unified Bowling Championships for a day of friendly competition and camaraderie that showcases the best that sports have to offer.
The 28 teams were split into seven divisions. Silver Creek-Forestville competed against three teams from Erie County: Lockport, Williamsville North, and Kenmore East. When it was all said and done, Silver Creek-Forestville represented Chautauqua County more than admirably.
