Clark County's top high school bowlers got the opportunity to compete on bowling's biggest stage Friday as they filed into Cashman for the 2009 MVP Bowling Tournament.

It was only the third high school event contested in an Open Championships venue in the event’s 106-year history.

Each Clark County high school nominated at least one bowler to compete in the event, and 112 athletes representing 33 high schools were treated to the full Open Championships experience, including the traditional introduction march down the tournament's center aisle.

Credit this opportunity to the “godmother” of youth bowling in Southern Nevada, tournament director Bobbi Hoven.

Here are the final standings:

Girls: 1. Alex Katz, Coronado; 2. Brianna Mullins, Rancho; 3. Melissa Huether, Durango; 4. Hannah Chipman, Bonanza; 5. Jackie Southam, Clark.

Boys: 1. Justin Gelsinger, Western; 2. Steven Ashley, Rancho; 3. Zachary Hattori, Silverado; 4. Jakob Butturff, Foothill; 5. Nate Leavitt, Bishop Gorman.
