LANSING – Traverse City West’s Jeremy Decker played 300 games in the region on Friday, making him the only competitor in the region to qualify for the Division 1 final.

Decker’s perfect game came on day four, in the middle of a 919 streak for the junior, who won the regional singles title with 54 pins against Brighton’s Hayden Hale.

TC Christian senior Jeremy Hansen finished third overall with 741, while Bellaire’s Brady Hoogerhyde (716) finished fourth and Glen Lake’s Kenneth Plamondon (698) and Isaac Flask (680) finished seventh and ninth, respectively book the finals.

The Lakers missed qualifying as a team by 85 pins, with Coleman taking that spot.
