A Washington junior was recently recognized for his performance this winter on the bowling lanes. The Iowa Girls Athletic Coaches Association released the names of the boys and girls all-district bowling teams, and Collin Zear represents the Demons on the boys’ honorable mention squad.

Zear bowled 18 games for the Washington this winter, dropping a team-best 3,275 pins. His best individual performance came on February 6 against the Fairfield Trojans, recording a two-game score of 429 in a 2,663-2,604 victory.

Zear overcame illness during the conference bowling tournament last month, finishing as the bronze medalist with a score of 369 and a spot on the first-team all-conference squad. His season ended with a fourth place finish in the state qualifying meet February 16 in Pella, sinking 370 pins in two games.
