The pins have finally stopped falling for the 2025–2026 Malad USBC Association season, and the results are in after another exciting year at Malad Bowl. With league nights running from September through April, bowlers across the valley came together twice a week to compete for top honors—and bragging rights.

KC Oil Team consists of Rex Williams, Shelly Williams, Daine Williams, Derrick Tripp and Scott Searle with their Sponsor Owner Carolyn Atkinson.

 KC Oil Repeats as Thursday Night Champs

Hubcap Lounge finished close behind in second place, followed by Nikity Nacs in third, Arrowhead Cabinets in fourth, and Malad Gun Club rounding out the top five.
