The resolution congratulates the Stanhope Elmore Boys Bowling Team for their historic achievement in winning the 2026 Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA) Division 6A/7A Boys Bowling Championship. The championship took place on January 30, 2026, at Bowlero Bowling Center in Mobile, Alabama, where the Mustangs triumphed by knocking down 1,559 pins, marking the first time a boys bowling team from Stanhope Elmore has secured this title. The victory is particularly significant as it represents the culmination of years of dedication and hard work from past and present team members since the program's reinstatement in the 2015-2016 school year.
The resolution highlights the team's remarkable comeback against the Hoover Buccaneers, overcoming a 50-pin deficit to win by 28 pins in a double-elimination tournament. It also recognizes the individual achievements of team members, including Seth Wilson, who was named the top bowler of the tournament, and the leadership of Head Coach Kenny Wilson and Assistant Coach Bridget Wilson. The resolution expresses gratitude for the support from families, the school, and the community, and extends heartfelt congratulations and best wishes for the future to the team and coaches.
