LEADER OF LIONS

Oviedo, Rodgers leads all-area, No. 1 team

After being part of a pair of state championship teams in her first two years of high school, Oviedo senior Shauna Rodgers finished her career in style with a dual trophy hoist.

In addition to being the anchor for a Lions squad that defeated Space Coast in the state championship match, Rodgers was on fire in the state individual competition. She rolled more than 200 in 11 of her 12 games (the only game under was a respectable 194) and defeated Circle Christian’s Grace Bringham for the girls title.

Rodgers didn’t lose a match in bracket play and went to three games only once in the best-2-out-of-3 matches on her way to earning 2019 Orlando Sentinel girls bowler-of-the-year honor. 680 in district and fourth overall at state.

One of the most consistent area bowlers over the past three years, Poole shot 888 in four games of state qualifying (third seed) with a 246 high game.
