A lot of good bowlers have come through here.

Uptagrafft is now the head coach of the stewartville bowling team.

With the state tournament just over a week away ?

"* the team has been forced to find a new home.

We had to scramble to find a new place to go practice for a week and luckily we were able to get to colonial up in rochester so we're going to practice there for a week before we head up to lakeville.

Uptagrafft expressed his gratitude to colonial lanes for being willing to provide his team a place to practice.

Still ?

"* he admits it does complicate the logistics of travel.

We have some kids coming from grand meadow as well so i mean that's a heck of a drive for them already to come to stewartville so now to come up to rochester is we're asking a lot of some of these kids.

While the pandemic has made it more difficult for businesses to thrive, uptagrafft remains hopeful that strikers corner will eventually come back better than ever.
