In the final on Tuesday, Thompson knocked off Hoover 1,288-1,205. That sent the Bucs to consolation finals, where Hoover defeated Stanhope Elmore again, this time by a score of 1,104-964.
Josie Dambrino was the top bowler in best two-game series, posting a total score of 468 to blow away the competition. Naomi Chisolm also made the top eight, scoring a 302 total.
