Diana Ward of Mt. Vernon signs her intent to bowl with Southeastern Illinois College’s Bowling Falcons.
SIC’s Head Coach Doug Cottom said he’s been eyeing Ward’s talent for a while.
“Diana is a girl that we had in our sights since the middle of her junior year. She is a very strong, solid player that keeps it in play,” said Cottom. “She plays a very simple game that doesn’t get into trouble. She’s a great addition to our program.”
The 2019-20 season marks the second year for Southeastern’s bowling team and will find the Falcons, eight men and eight women strong, competing in Ohio, Illinois, Tennessee, and Missouri in search of a national championship.
