DIXON – If the Sterling and Dixon girls bowling teams are planning a run to state, they’ll have to step up their games from the 36th Dixon Invitational on Saturday at Plum Hollow Lanes.

The Golden Warriors finished seventh in a 24-team field with a total pinfall of 5,235, while the Duchesses placed ninth with 5,223. Harlem (5,606), Freeport (5,548) and Lockport (5,493) claimed the top three team finishes.

“I think we could have won this tournament,” Dixon sophomore Emily Quaco said, “and it’s kind of sad that we didn’t, because it’s our tournament.”
