HACKENSACK — As the No. 5 bowler in the Maroon lineup, it seemed natural for Zach Flicker to bookend their day at the Bergen County boys bowling tournament with “5-baggers.”
The Ridgewood High School senior opened last Saturday’s event at Bowler City by recording strikes on his first five throws. He then struck five times in a row near the end of his sixth and final game, a team-high 236, to highlight a 10th-place individual series of 1,245.
His efforts paced Ridgewood (5,468) to a sixth-place showing in the overall standings and fourth in the Groups 3-4 bracket, the squad’s best county-tournament finish under head coach Dick Bennett. Hackensack (5,866) won the Groups 3-4 title and placed second overall to first-time champ Glen Rock (6,022).
