Bowling All-State: Coaches pick top AHSAA bowlers

Alabama High School Athletic Association bowling coaches have announced their selections for all-state teams, the first – at least since the sport was re-started in 2015-16 after being discontinued for 37 years. The coaches selected eight top bowlers for the First and Second Team All-State squads as well as All-State teams for classes 1A-5A and 6A-7A.

Michael Kimble of Spain Park and Alyssa Ward of Stanhope-Elmore were selected as the boys’ and girls’ Bowler of the Year. Lisa Ivey of Sparkman was named boys’ coach of the year while Bob Holley of American Christian was chosen as girls’ coach of the year.

This season’s state champions were Etowah for Class 1A-5A and Sparkman for 6A-7A on the boys’ side and 1A-5A Beauregard and 6A-7A American Christian for the girls.

Here are the all-state teams:
