Last winter, the Barnegat boys bowling team had its strongest season ever. Unfortunately, despite a 31-14 record, the Bengals finished behind perennial Shore Conference Class B South powerhouse Manchester.

This season may be much like last season, even thought Barnegat returned much of its starting varsity crew from last season.

“Our second-place finish in B South was backed by the most wins in school history,” said coach Michael Palmieri.
