The fourth week of Spring 2003 saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and two rolled new personal high games. Janelle (Laube) Lamar picked up this week's high game (191) and series (450) for the women, while Eric Lynch earned this week's high game (226) and series (629) for the men. Meanwhile, the Tournament of Champions also kicked off tonight, beginning of 13 weeks of one-on-one bowling excitement! Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 17 & 18: When Push Comes To Shove had some one-on-one time with The Good Sons. In spite of the prowess of David Codding with his 543 series, the Shovers got swept by the Sons. In the midst of this, Steve Robinson mastered the Sons with his above-average 426 as they swept the competition. When Push Comes To Shove plummets 4 spots in the standings to 6th place, while the Sons jump 3 spots to 5th.
On lanes 19 & 20: Hulk Smash! hung out with Top Guns. In spite of top-billing by Carl Goetz with his 552 series, the Hulk accomplished only 1 win against Top Guns. On the adjacent lane, Pat Searcy called the shots for Top Guns with his 541 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Hulk Smash! remains in 4th place, while Top Guns remain in 1st.
On lanes 21 & 22: D-Day celebrated their love of large, heavy balls with Spanked. Blessed by Most Valuable Bowler Ken M. Wilson and his spectacular 552 series, D-Day celebrated a clean sweep over Spanked. While that was going down, Thomas Lin commanded Spanked with his below-average 483 despite his team getting swept. D-Day leaps 4 spots in the standings to 2nd place, while Spanked plunges 3 spots to 8th.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: Bowlers of Mass Destruction chucked gutter balls with Canned Crabs. Even though highlighted by the skills of Jarrod Guthrie with his above-average 494 series, Mass Destruction accomplished only 1 win against the Crabs. On the other side, #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head Eric Lynch dominated the Crabs with his terrific 629 as his team took the series with 3 wins.

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Bob Brunker got the better of Division 1, while Eric Lynch eradicated Division 2. Phil Schroeder creamed Division 3, and Tracey Robertson swept Division 4. In terms of overall points: Bob Brunker holds the reins in Division 1; Eric Lynch tops Division 2; Phil Schroeder runs the show in Division 3; and Tracey Robertson leads Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 17&18, 4th-place Hulk Smash! (hcp 35) will socialize with 2nd-place D-Day. The Hulk is expected to roll a little low and get swept; while D-Day is forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 19&20, 7th-place Canned Crabs will face 5th-place The Good Sons (hcp 15). The Crabs might perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Sons ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 21&22, 6th-place When Push Comes To Shove will spend some quality time with 3rd-place Bowlers of Mass Destruction (hcp 43). The Shovers will likely have the bottom drop out of their averages as they get swept; while Mass Destruction will probably hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Finally, on lanes 23&24, 8th-place Spanked (hcp 12) will battle 1st-place Top Guns. Spanked is predicted to see their averages fall off a cliff as they get swept; while Top Guns are anticipated to drop their average a bit even as they rack up a sweep.
