Notre Dame sophomore C.J. Petrin finished second with McCallie's Andrew Haun and Jet Hieronymus third and fourth Friday in the TSSAA Division II boys' individual state bowling finals in Smyrna, and Walker Valley senior Natily Haro won three ladder matches in finishing third among Division I girls.

Haro's last win left Rhea County senior Baylee Shipley in fourth place, and Rhea junior Phillip Rogers finished fifth in the Division I boys' eliminations. He lost 226-207 to fourth-seeded Smyrna senior Josh Meeke, who went on to win the championship with game scores of 219, 261 and 235 pins.

The Baylor girls are the only Chattanooga-area representatives still alive in team play.
