Prep roundup: Dukes double down to state

Dixon bowlers win second straight sectional title

The Dixon Dukes bowling team won its second straight sectional title Saturday, winning a close 4-team race in DeKalb to earn back-to-back state berths.

The Dukes rolled a 5,935 as a team, edging runner-up South Elgin (5,898) by 37 pins. DeKalb took third (5,880), Sycamore finished fourth (5,831) and Rochelle placed fifth (5,828), but only 25 pins separated the first- and fourth-place teams heading into the sixth and final game.

Connor Allen’s six-game series of 1,241 was good for eighth individually, and it included five 200 games and a 257 high game. Josh Rex was close behind, rolling four 200 games and a 1,234 series. Andrew Hamburg (1,184 series) was the only other Duke to bowl all six games, while Brandon Bonnette’s opening 268 game topped the team.
