The Elmira boys bowling team played catch-up to Section 5's Hilton all day, finally passing the Cadets in the sixth and final game to complete a sterling comeback that gave the Express the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Division 1 championship Friday night at AMF Strike 'N Spare Lanes in Syracuse. Elmira's final pin total was 6314. The Express entered the last round down 49 pins to Hilton, but a 1036 to 936 advantage was enough to give Elmira a winning cushion of 51 over the Cadets (6263) and 92 over third-place finisher New Hartford (6222).
