The Ocean Ridge Plantation Bowling League concluded its 13th season at the annual awards banquet held April 4 at Starz Grille in Shallotte. The league, which bowls at Planet Fun in Shallotte, comprises 24 four-person teams. In addition to these regular weekly bowlers, about 40 substitute bowlers also compete in the league.
At the banquet, Steve Miller, league president, announced the following team and individual award winners for the season.
First-place team: The Fockers (Ron Schneider, Vicki Powers, Marie Pugh, George Woodard).

 The Brush Dental Shock (14s) won another soccer match in dominating fashion.
The Shock started fast with Kira Frawley taking the ball quickly down the field and crossing the ball into the center, where Ashley Oakes put it in the back of the net.
“Kira’s speed puts a lot of pressure on any team’s defense,” coach Mark Giordano said, “and when she draws a lot of players to her, she is capable of making a great pass into open teammates.”
Oakes followed with another goal, her second two-goal game of the season.
