HUTCHINSON — Great Bend's returning 13th-place medalist Zoey Mayberry (546, 193-162-191) qualified for the 5A state bowling championship in Thursday's Hutchinson 5A bowling regional. Mayberry posted two solid games with a 162 in the middle game

"My first game was good. But you have to keep adjusting because the lanes keep changing. Overall, I was pretty confident because there's good competition today." 

Great Bend, last year's 5A state champion, missed qualifying for state behind Wichita Carroll, Goddard Eisenhower and Salina South. The Panthers finished fifth overall after series games of 630-594-639.

Returning state qualifier Brooklynn Mayberry (487, 158-189-140) qualified by one pin edging Hays High's Loucinda Meade (486) and Maize South's Kenzie Kalb (486) for an individual state berth

The regional featured seven of the top 20 state medalists, including Salina South's 2023 state champion Rylee Lambeth.
