The Reeths-Puffer boys bowling team finished in 10th place at Saturday's Fruitport Invitational at Northway Lanes, but it was a pretty good 10th place.

The Rockets placed better than 13 other teams, and because of the tight point spread in the standings, only missed making the four-team playoff by 117 pins.

R-P senior Quinn Alderink had a great day, finishing in sixth place individually out of 132 bowlers and winning his first All-Tournament medal of the season.

Alderink rolled a 584 series, which included a great 235 game.

R-P's Quinn Alderink, who finished in sixth place individually.

Liam Copenhaver finished 13th individually with a 560 series.

"Quinn and Liam were both really good today and it showed in their overall finishes," said R-P Coach Craig Alderink. "As a team, our baker games were much better than last weekend, which is a promising sign.

"I know we can do better at finishing our makeable spares, and when we do we'll be a lot closer to the top of the standings at the end of the day."

The Rockets will begin O-K Green conference matchups this week, playing Caledonia on Monday and Mona Shores on Wednesday.
