2021 SIR State Tournament Winners

The 2021 SIR State Tournament was held in Danville Bowl on November 30 and December 1. All of the bowlers must be SIRs.  There were fourteen four-man teams which were divided into two divisions depending on the bowling average of a team. The higher average teams were in Division 1, and the lower average teams were in Division 2. Each division is treated as a separate tournament. There are two perpetual trophies, one for each division. The winner of each division can have their trophy until the next SIR State Tournament.  Here are some photos of the winning teams.
