The Metro-East Menโ€™s 700 Club is hosting a High School Super Bowl on Sunday, March 9, at Redbird Lanes in Cahokia.

This event features the top 24 area boys and girls bowlers based on per game average.

Those chosen to participate from Columbia are boys bowler Cameron Touchette and girls bowlers Miranda Rodenhofer and Peyton Schmidt.
