COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Monument Mountain's Noah Walker rolled two 200 games during the qualifying round at the U.S. High School Bowling National Championship on Sunday.

Walker was one of four Berkshire County bowlers competing in the event. None made the cut to reach Monday's second phase of the competition.

Walker started his day strong with a 229 and ended it with a 211 to post a four-game series of 749.

The cut line for the 549-bowler field of boys was 796 as 180 bowlers advanced to the tournament's "Survivor" round.

The girls high school national featured 293 competitors. The cut line ended up at 728, sending the top 96 bowlers to Monday's round.

Lee High's Devyn Fillio was the highest-finishing Berkshire County girl with a four-game total of 670.

Her Wildcat teammate Lauren Scheurer finished with a 483.

Taconic's Danielle Mathes finished between them at 603 after a competition highlighted by a 202 in her third game.

The season is not over for all four bowlers, who have qualified to compete in next month's Junior Gold tournament, July 13-18 in Minneapolis.

Letter: Southern Berkshire Ambulance Expresses Gratitude for Support

Letter to the Editor07:00PM / Saturday, August 08, 2026

To the Editor:

Over the next nine months, the Southern Berkshire Ambulance Squad (SBAS) will take delivery of two new ambulances, at a cost of roughly $1 million, to replace two vehicles that are very much on their last wheels. Lacking that $1 million, SBAS had to put out an emergency call of its own. I write to share the wonderful news that Berkshire Preservation Inc. (BPI) more than answered our call.

BPI's board, which includes Carole Owens, Louis Schroeter, Wende and David Carver, Nelson Furlano, and Todd Ehrlich worked tirelessly to organize a benefit concert at the Colonial Theatre that netted $98,877 for SBAS. We saw firsthand how hard they worked to bring it off, and we could not be more grateful to be the beneficiaries of their efforts and generosity.

SBAS answers your emergency calls 24/7/365. It means a great deal to us that when we were the ones in need, BPI answered ours. If you would like to learn more about BPI, and you should, please go to preservationinc.org.

With deep gratitude,

Ken Schumacher
Great Barrington, Mass.
