State Senator Rick Girdler along with the Commonwealth of Kentucky Senate proudly honored Lincoln County archer Charlie Cole for his stellar performance in the 2019 KHSAA Region 8 Bowling Championships.

The Lincoln County High School bowling team made an early exit from team play at regionals, but there was a highlight to the team effort as Cole, an eighth-grader, bowled the highest game ever in the 8th Region. He bowled a 299, one pin away from a perfect game.

It was that effort that prompted Senator Girdler and the Senate to pass a proclamation recognizing his achievement.
