The Fall 2003 season draws to a close, with Anchors Aweigh! officially earning this season's championship title! The final week saw one team climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. Two bowlers set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (181) and series (543) for the women, while Pat Searcy earned this week's high game (246) and series (621) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 15 & 16: Anchors Aweigh! entered a showdown to the death with Bowlers of Mass Confusion. Showcasing David Codding with his 558 series, the Anchors collected 3 wins against Mass Confusion. Meanwhile, Corey Weinfurt laid down the law in Mass Confusion with his above-average 522 despite his team notching only a single win. Anchors Aweigh! close out in 1st place, while Mass Confusion come out in 2nd.
On lanes 17 & 18: Wolverines waged a heated competition against Bowl me Ishmael!. With top billing by Dennis Laube with his 459 series, the Wolverines celebrated a clean sweep over Ishmael. Conversely, Dennis Pruitt showed off in Ishmael with his 378 despite his team getting swept. Wolverines leap 2 spots in the standings to end in 3rd place, while Ishmael sinks 1 spot to end up with 4th.
On lanes 19 & 20: Theee Beeelt couldn't stop inappropriately groping Gutter Minds. Despite being led by Aaron Weidner with his above-average 547 series, Theee Beeelt got swept by Gutter Minds. While that was going down, #1 Head-to-Head Pat Searcy took the lead in Gutter Minds with his above-average 621 as they swept the competition. Theee Beeelt drops 1 spot in the standings to end the season in 5th place, while Gutter Minds go home with 6th.
Finally, down on lanes 21 & 22: Spare Change chucked gutter balls with Atomic Goo. While headlined by #1 Power-Ranked Bill Krejci and his amazing 556 series, Spare Change accomplished only 1 win against Atomic Goo. On the other half of the score sheet, Phil Schroeder dominated Atomic Goo with his above-average 447 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Marca Robinson) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Spare Change finish in 7th place, while Atomic Goo cross the finish line in 8th.
Bowlers who lied to their significant other claiming bowling was running long then went out for after-bowling drinks at The 200 Club include: Aaron Weidner (202), Bill Krejci (202,215), and Pat Searcy (203,246)

A new personal high game was set tonight by Pat Searcy (246, previous best 242). In addition, new personal best series were rolled by Pat Searcy (621, previous best 619) and Marca Robinson (440, previous best 406). The 246 rolled by Pat Searcy is tied for the 5th-best game in league history!
The 543 rolled by Angela Bradford is the new 7th-best women's series in league history!

After a hard fought season, the Tournament of Champions was won tonight by Pat Searcy (Division 2), with landing in second place. Pat will pocket the nice first-place pot, while will take away the second-place pot. Congratulations!
