Hempfield Area Repeats as Team Champions at 2025 WCCA Bowling Championships
Hempfield Area girls and boys bowling teams added another pair of championship trophies at the 4th Annual Westmoreland County Coaches Association Bowling Championships on Saturday, January 18, at Hillview Lanes in Greensburg.
It was the second time in the four years of the tournament that both Hempfield teams won, as they defended their 2024 dual victories. The boys squad bested their 2024 winning pinfall of 2867 by tossing a 3002 three-game series. Runner-up Greensburg Salem made it close, throwing a 2968 series to improve on their 3rd place finish of 2612 last year by 356 pins. Greater Latrobe also moved up a spot from last year to finish third with a 2822 series, topping their 2024 total of 2552. Rounding out the boys team standings were Penn-Trafford (2730), Belle Vernon Area (2662), Valley (2646), Franklin Regional (2621), Yough (2246), Jeannette (2110), and Kiski Area (1584).
On the girls side, the Lady Spartans cruised to victory by throwing a 2624 series, eclipsing last years winning score of 2515. Greater Latrobe and Kiski Area swapped places from 2024, with the runner-up Lady Wildcats rolling a 2196, improving on last year's 1912, and the Lady Cavaliers improved slightly on their prior year pinfall with a 2101 versus 2045. The remaining girls team scores were Valley (2082), Yough (1836), Belle Vernon (1437), Jeannette (810), and Greensburg Salem (697). Several teams bowled with less than full squads.
Individually, Valley's Baxter Diehm was the lone bowler to top the 700 series plateau, rolling a 727 to claim the boys gold medal. Diehm added 107 pins to his 2024 runner-up pinfall of 620. Greensburg Salem claimed the next two spots on the podium. Dylan Megliorino threw a 683 for the silver medal while Sam Demine won third on a tie-breaker with Franklin Regional's Brayden Fallon, who claimed fourth. Both bowlers rolled a 647 series with the tie-breaker being highest single game score. Both bowlers threw a 241 for their first game, so the tie was broken by DeMine's 214 third game score over Fallon's 211 second game.
The girls individual champion was Hempfield Area's Ashley Bensur, who moved up from a 4th-place finish and 541 series last year to claim gold with a 606 series. Kiski Area's Veronica Flanagan, who last year placed third with 547, moved up to the silver medal position with a 582. Defending champion Amelia Droste of Hempfield finished third with 577 total pins.
The top ten individual scoring girls and boys, listed below, were all awarded medals.
