Monroe senior Trey Lambert celebrates a strike against Ross on Monday at Northwest Lanes. Lambert and the Hornets are 19-0 on the season.

MONROE — The hands have gone up, and they've stayed there. Monroe High School's boys bowling team hasn't stopped celebrating all season.

"We're loud," Hornets senior captain Trey Lambert said. "We keep the energy going all match."

"It's every day," Monroe coach David Rolph added. "If you've got thin skin, they're probably not a good group of bowlers to bowl against — because they do get after it.

"When we're quiet, we don't bowl good."

There haven't been many stagnant moments on the lanes for the Hornets, who are taking their undefeated record into the final week of the regular season.

Monroe is 19-0, has won 22 consecutive Southwestern Buckeye League matches and is 66-12 dating back to the 2019-2020 season.

The Hornets have already clinched at least a share of their fifth consecutive SWBL title and will face Ross in a regular-season finale on Thursday, Feb. 15, at Eastern Lanes.

"Atmosphere wise and what they're doing, this team has stood out the most in terms of how successful they are," said Rolph, who is in his ninth season at Monroe.

While the Hornets lost a couple key bowlers from last season because of various circumstances, Rolph said he's been most impressed with how well his squad has gelled.
