"We've bowled well this year and we've accomplished a couple of things that we didn't do last year," Culbertson said. "We didn't get a few breaks in some of our matches. In some games we would really bowl well, but the other team would bowl a little better than us and win the match." TWn VE1 tvamc .uuufu lunifia win couiptjie in ..today I Feet ell as doubles.
