The Mount Gilead bowling program will now be under the instruction of Shawn Boller.
Boller previously was the coach at Cardington from 2005 to 2012, where he claimed a MOAC conference championship and had an individual state qualifier in 2005. He also was named the league’s Coach of the Year for the 2010-11 season.
Boller noted that he has a very young team that he’s looking to settle in, as there are no returning letter-winners coming back this year.
“We are looking to build the bowling program back up and I would like to see it return to a varsity sport at Mount Gilead,” he said.
The coach looks at the KMAC as having a number of good programs.
“I look for (Cardington’s) Coach Edgell to be competitive again with both of his teams,” said Boller. “I look for Northmor and Fredericktown to make a good run overall. This is my first year back coaching and in a different conference, but I am hoping to be competitive with a very young and developing team.”
