DREAM TEAM Chas Baker, Saline: Baker held the highest regular season average in the county with a 216. He helped the Hornets finish second at the Southeastern Conference tournament and into the Division 1 state team tournament.

Michael Goike, Father Gabriel Richard: Goike, who had a 202 season average, reached the round of 16 at the Division 3 state individual finals. After polishing off a third-place showing at regionals, he averaged 208 at states, including a 279 game. The junior captain was also named all-division in the Catholic High School League.

Justin Hazel, Skyline: His regular season average of 202 was respectable, but it paled in comparison to his post-season outburst. Hazel finished one pin shy of a 300 in his fifth and final game while winning a Division 2 individual regional. At the state finals, Hazel placed 47th. He was also named All-SEC Red.

Devon Micou, Huron: After averaging 197 in the regular season, Micou got hot in the postseason and registering a 1,147 series at a Division 1 regionals. That qualified him for the Division 1 state singles championship, where he just missed advancing from the qualifying block when he lost a 16th-place tiebreaker.

Aaron Ohl, Saline: The AnnArbor.com boys Bowler of the Year averaged 211 throughout the regular season, helping the Hornets finish 11-1 and earn a spot in the MHSAA state team tournament. Ohl also qualified for the Division 1 singles state championships, where he finished 27th. Named All-SEC Red.

Congrats to all of these fine young people. I am so proud to say that one of the young ladies on the dream team is my daughter. I am very lucky to say that I have had the pleasure to watch a few of the students mentioned bowl. They have come a long ways and accomplished so much. These kids are the future of our sport and I hope that they continue to enjoy it, and flurish within it. Keep it rolling kids!
