The thirteenth week of Fall 2004 saw one team climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and two rolled new personal high games. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (200) and series (511) for the women, while Ken M. Wilson earned this week's high game (225) and series (652) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: A Solid No. 2 had a rendezvous with Ashley Razabacks. Showcasing Corey Weinfurt with his above-average 534 series, No. 2 split the series with the Razabacks. Simultaneously, Rich DeYoung oversaw the Razabacks with his commanding 532 as they matched their opponent in wins. A Solid No. 2 remains in 5th place, while the Razabacks sink 1 spot to 4th.
On lanes 21 & 22: Paul Hamms shared a platter of cheese sticks with The Belt Strikes Back. Despite the strength of Bill Krejci with his 569 series, the Hamms got swept by the Belt. On the flipside, Most Valuable Bowler Demond Robinson laid down the law in the Belt with his above-average 600 as they swept the competition. Paul Hamms drop 1 spot in the standings to 7th place, while the Belt remains in 1st.
On lanes 23 & 24: Recreation Intoxication couldn't stop undressing with their eyes the members of Die Schlag-Maschinen. Featuring Pat Searcy with his 540 series, Recreation split the series with Die Schlag-Maschinen. Across the ball return, Jerry Krall shined in Die Schlag-Maschinen with his 410 as they matched their opponent in wins. Recreation Intoxication remains in 2nd place, while Die Schlag-Maschinen remains in 8th.
Finally, down on lanes 25 & 26: Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers kept grabbing the balls of Bowlkake. Led by #1 Power-Ranked Dennis Laube and his astonishing 602 series, the Ninjas collected 3 wins against Bowlkake. Countering this, #1 Head-to-Head Ken M. Wilson guided Bowlkake with his staggering 652 despite his team notching only a single win. Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers leap 4 spots in the standings to 3rd place, while Bowlkake plunges 2 spots to 6th.
Bowlers sneaking into The 200 Club include: Angela Bradford (200), Bill Krejci (202,204), Demond Robinson (200,200,200), Dennis Laube (222), James Long (217), Justin Strelow (201), Ken M. Wilson (225,203,224), Nik Domann (219), Pat Searcy (203), Rich DeYoung (200), and Seth Gunderson (211)

New personal high games were set tonight by Ray Haynes (182, previous best 174) and Seth Gunderson (211, previous best 201). In addition, a new personal best series was rolled by Dennis Laube (602, previous best 566). The 652 rolled by Ken M. Wilson is the new 8th-best series in league history!

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Dennis Laube mopped up Division 1, while Jason Carpio made quick work of Division 2. Nobody claimed victory in Division 3 (though Amanda Schulte came closest), and nobody claimed victory in Division 4 (though Chad Green came closest). In terms of overall points: Dennis Laube calls the shots for Division 1; Jason Carpio dominates Division 2; Janelle (Laube) Lamar runs the show in Division 3; and Ray Haynes is in the driver's seat in Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 2nd-place Recreation Intoxication (hcp 50) will challenge 6th-place Bowlkake. Recreation is expected to roll a little low and get swept; while Bowlkake is forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 8th-place Die Schlag-Maschinen (hcp 68) will socialize with 3rd-place Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers. Die Schlag-Maschinen might perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Ninjas ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 4th-place Ashley Razabacks will compete against 7th-place Paul Hamms (hcp 2). The Razabacks will likely maintain their current strength as they win the series; while the Hamms will probably drop their average a bit while avoid getting swept.
- Finally, on lanes 25&26, 1st-place The Belt Strikes Back will face 5th-place A Solid No. 2 (hcp 20). The Belt is predicted to maintain their current strength as they and split the series with No. 2; while No. 2 is anticipated to hold steady as they keep the series tied.
