Strike after strike filled the lanes as teams from across Ohio gathered for the 2026 King’s Classic Tournament, one of the premier in-season showcases on the high school bowling calendar.
The annual event featured a deep and competitive field, with schools rolling three traditional team games followed by six high-pressure Baker games to determine the final standings. The format tested both individual consistency and team chemistry, with every frame carrying weight down the stretch.
Area programs were well represented throughout the tournament, led by a championship performance from the Bellefontaine girls, a runner-up finish by Riverside on the boys side, and strong efforts from Benjamin Logan and Indian Lake. With state contenders, conference rivals, and rising programs all sharing the lanes, the King’s Classic once again delivered a full day of high-level competition and postseason-caliber intensity.
