Bonnabel junior Alahna Degruy just missed becoming the first high school girls bowler in Louisiana to roll a perfect 300 game, but still set a pair of state prep records in high school club bowling league action Wednesday at AMF All Star Lanes.

Degruy started the second game with 11 consecutive strikes before leaving a 10-pin on her final shot. She had games of 216-299-171 for a 686 series and set state high school records for high game and two-game series (515).

Alahna DegruyThe previous records were both set just a year ago. Bailee Chapman of East Ascension, now competing at Alabama State, set the single-game record of 290, while Kelsi Stegall of H.L. Bourgeois – who like Degruy is only a junior this season – had the two-game record of 499.

Degruy, the top bowler on Bonnabel’s co-ed team, has been one of the state’s top female bowlers throughout her prep career. She finished 11th in the LHSAA singles championship last April and was third in the U20 girls division of the Pepsi Championship, also in April.

Area bowlers compete in the club league in the fall before beginning the varsity season in January.
