New Addition to GCHS Sports
At the January 19th Board of Education meeting, board members unanimously approved adding boys’ bowling to the school’s athletic program in 2012-13. Boys’ bowling will take place during the winter season and will become the third new sport added to the GCHS athletic program in the past two years. “This is another great opportunity for our students at Grant to participate in athletics,” says Athletic Director Tom Duffy. According to Mr. Duffy, “there has been a lot of interest on the part of our students that led to this addition. We look forward to welcoming boys bowling to the Grant athletic department.” Since the North Suburban Conference does not recognize boys’ bowling as a conference sport, GCHS will compete next season in the Northern Illinois Boys Bowling Conference (NIBBC) which includes the high schools from Lake Zurich, Libertyville, Vernon Hills, New Trier, Evanston and Deerfield. Be on the lookout for more information about becoming involved with the newest addition to GCHS, boys’ bowling!
