Easter Bunny Hops into Western Bowl

The Indiana "Pepsi Junior Gold" State finals tournament was held at Western Bowl, in Indianapolis, May 2^nd & 3^rd and May 9th & 10^th. Overall 400 junior bowlers from all areas of the state of Indiana participated in the event.

The tournament featured two divisions 11 years old and younger and 12 and older. In the younger division the bowlers bowled a three game set, plus their handicap and they had the opportunity to win college scholarships money. The amount won is predicated on the final position they placed in the tournament.

In the 12 year old and older division, six games were bowled, and as well as competing for college scholarship money, the top boy and girl in the scratch division also won an entry into the "National Junior Gold" tournament also held in Indianapolis July 11^th through July 17^th. In addition, the top two girls and four boys in the handicap division also advanced into the "National Junior Gold" event.
