Local high school girls bowlers will try to advance through the postseason starting this weekend. 

The Collinsville Regional takes place Saturday at Camelot Bowl, featuring the following teams: Waterloo, Columbia, Gibault, Dupo, Belleville East, Belleville West, Cahokia, Collinsville, Freeburg, Granite City, Lebanon, Mascoutah and O’Fallon. 

Waterloo enters the regional having placed second as a team in the Mississippi Valley Conference Tournament held Monday at Bel-Air Bowl in Belleville. 

The Bulldogs were led in this tourney by Alissa Wisley’s first place overall showing. She rolled a high game of 238 and has been one of Waterloo’s top bowlers all season. 

Columbia competed in the Cahokia Conference Tournament last week, placing third as a team in the Mississippi Division.

Maddie Brandenburger was named all-conference for her showing at this tournament. 

Among the top bowlers this season for Dupo are seniors Brianna Duck and Casey Durham.
