Mercy’s best regular game ended with a score of 840, while the best baker game was 218. A “regular game” is a game in which each team member bowls 10 frames, and the score is totaled by adding together each members’ final score.

Being split into two days, the regionals for individuals occurred the day after the team regionals. At the individuals, junior Arianna Watson was the highest placed on the team, earning 21st place out of 74 girls. Watson’s best individual game was 214.
