“We suffered a lot of unlucky breaks throughout the regular games,” said Fruitport head coach Tim McKeeby. “Splits and chops left too many untouched pins on the lanes. We are a strong team that will quickly recover from a rough day on the lanes. We have a lot of faith in the team and know they will bounce back just fine.”storage
