The bowling scene in Hilo remains dormant, but that’s not stopping coach Damien Chow from reviving Hilo High’s preseason tournament.
The Vikings will just have to put in some driving time to get there.
It’s been four years in the waiting, but better late than never for the 14th edition of Hilo’s classic, which goes off at 9 a.m. Saturday at KBXtreme in Kailua-Kona, giving the Vikings a chance at a rare true-blue practice session.
“Right now, there aren’t any junior bowlers,” Chow said. “Everybody is fresh off the boat. Unfortunately, no regular bowlers.”
Chow has been getting creative with his girls and boys teams ever since Hilo Lanes closed in the spring of 2014.
