Berea-Midpark turned in a complete team performance at the OHSAA Division I Sectional Tournament at Yorktown Lanes, finishing 2nd overall with a 4405 total to punch their ticket to districts. A steady 3197 regulation set (1007–1077–1113) kept the Titans near the top all day, and a clutch 1208 baker block sealed the runner-up finish and showed their depth under pressure. Jorge Rosario Jr. led the way with a team-high 677 series, followed by Nate Merritt (644) and Jonas Stewart (637), giving Berea-Midpark three huge scores to set the pace, while Luke Nedoma’s 246 high game helped spark momentum in Game 3. A true total-team effort from start to finish sends Berea-Midpark High School on to the district tournament and keeps the postseason run rolling.
