CANTON — Canton McKinley senior Jonathan Waggoner established a Stark County High School Bowling Conference record Thursday with the seventh boys 300 game of the season during a match against GlenOak at AMF Hall of Fame Lanes.
The previous record for 300s in a season was six by boys, set during the 2014-15 season.
Other 300s this season have been shot by Hoover seniors Chase Wensel, Ryan Dague, Connor Lab and Manny Doerfler; Canton South senior Trevor Gore; and Massillon junior Nico Fromholtz. Gore also had his at AMF Hall of Fame.
This also ties the all-time conference record of seven in a season, also set in 2014-15 when Wooster’s Courtney Peck also had a 300 on the girls side for a total of seven.
Waggoner, who averages 203.5 for the Bulldogs, finished with a 511 series.
It was the fourth 300 game by a McKinley player, with two being shot last season by Hunter Henson and Zachary McCutchan. The other was by Brandon Pirolozzi during the 2010-11 season.
GlenOak won the match 2,887-2,456 as senior Riley Waggoner led the Golden Eagles with a 494 series and freshman Braxton Burns added 487.
