Lockport showed its seasonlong consistent form Wednesday in a 2,268-1,787 victory over Plainfield North at Strike and Spare II in Lockport.

The Porters had four bowlers go well over the 200 mark in both games in improving to 10-2 in duals.

“We’ve been consistent this year, showed a lot of focus and are trying to have fun,” Lockport’s Brian Hodolitz said.

That consistency has helped the Porters roll on even after two-time state champion Kyle Anderson graduated in 2011.

“It’s definitely a team sport,” Hodolitz said. “Losing a big person like that has just made us come together even more as a team.”

John Isit hit all strikes after a second-frame spare on the way to a 280 in Game 1. He nailed the first five of the second to give him 15 consecutive strikes and finished with a 244 second game. Isit led the Porters with a 524 series.

David Wysocki (221-234), Shane Matejcak (214-241), and Hodolitz (228-226) all had strong performances for the Porters, who hit 1,130 and 1,138 in the two games. Wysocki and Matejcak each rolled a 455 series and Hodolitz, who closed the first game with five consecutive strikes, a 454.

The only Lockport bowler who didn’t have a 200 game Wednesday was Justin Vandenburg (380 series). But he had just come off an individual championship in the Plainfield Central Invitational, where he had a six-game average of 214.5

“They brought their ‘A’ games,” Plainfield North coach Brian Dunn said. “Those were state-level scores.”

Peter Bednarz led the Tigers (4-6) with a 252 first game and 439 series.

“Plainfield North has been getting better,” Dunn said.

“(This) was not a representative of how we’ve done all year long.”

The Tigers have three one-pin dual losses, and five losses by 10 pins or fewer.
