WICHITA -- It became evident in the first game of Thursday's Class 5A-1A boys state bowling tournament at Northrock Lanes that the day belonged to Kapaun Mt. Carmel.
And although neither Seaman or any other team in the field could challenge the Crusaders, who set state tournament records for three-game and total scores, the Vikings still had plenty to feel good about, including a third-place team finish and three individual medalists.

In Wednesday night’s 60-56 Class 5A boys sub-state victory over Emporia, nobody came up bigger for the Vikings than sophomore Aron Davis and junior Mateo Hyman.
The two shared team-high scoring honors with 18 points each and when Seaman needed clutch free throws down the stretch, Davis and Hyman stepped up each time.
“I felt like we maintained our poise when it wasn’t looking good for us,'' Seaman coach Craig Cox said. "We got to the free throw line and knocked quite a few down which really helped us.''.
