The sixth week of Spring 2005 saw three teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. One bowler roll a new personal best game. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (196) and series (488) for the women. As for the men, Dennis Laube snagged this week's high game with a 201, and high series was earned by Carl Goetz and Corey Weinfurt, who tied with a 533. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Nellielocks and the 3 Spares chucked gutter balls with 4 Play. Starring Dennis Laube with his 521 series, Nellielocks split the series with 4 Play. Concurrently, Bob Brunker ruled 4 Play with his 522 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Angela Bradford) as they matched their opponent in wins. Nellielocks and the 3 Spares plummet 2 spots in the standings to 5th place, while 4 Play remains in 1st.
On lanes 21 & 22: Big Pin Pin deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Handicrappers. While headlined by Mitch Wheeler with his 475 series, Pin Pin got swept by Handicrappers. While that was going down, Ashley Razak called the shots for Handicrappers with her terrific 395 as they swept the competition. Big Pin Pin drops 1 spot in the standings to 7th place, while Handicrappers move 1 spot to 3rd.
On lanes 23 & 24: Bowlingstar Galactica had some one-on-one time with All Belt, No Buckle. In spite of the prowess of #1 Power-Ranked Corey Weinfurt and his above-average 533 series, the Galactica managed only 1.5 wins against the Belt. Countering this, #1 Head-to-Head Seth Gunderson guided the Belt with his above-average 512 as his team took the series with 2.5 wins. Bowlingstar Galactica leaps 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while the Belt remains in 2nd.
Finally, down on lanes 25 & 26: The Incredibowls kept grabbing the balls of Sub Parre. Although blessed by Carl Goetz with his 533 series, The Incredibowls accomplished only 1 win against Sub Parre. On the other side, Andy Metzler dominated Sub Parre with his above-average 455 as his team took the series with 3 wins. The Incredibowls remains in 8th place, while Sub Parre moves 1 spot to 4th.
Bowlers who lied to their significant other claiming bowling was running long then went out for after-bowling drinks at The 200 Club include: Dennis Laube (201)
A new personal high game was set tonight by Kris Hiestand (175, previous best 153). Adding to the excitement, the 196 rolled by Angela Bradford is this season's new high game among women.
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Carl Goetz vanquished Division 1, while Michael Basham shut down Division 2. Freda Schroeder clobbered Division 3, and Andrea Wilson creamed Division 4. In terms of overall points: Pat Searcy, Jason Carpio, Bob Brunker, and Carl Goetz lead Division 1 in a tie; Michael Basham tops Division 2; Brad Zollars calls the shots for Division 3; and Amanda Schulte runs the show in Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 6th-place Bowlingstar Galactica will throw some gutter balls with 4th-place Sub Parre (hcp 95). The Galactica is expected to maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Sub Parre is forecast to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 8th-place The Incredibowls (hcp 34) will challenge 2nd-place All Belt, No Buckle. The Incredibowls might perform well, but split the series with the Belt; while the Belt ought to raise their average while they keep the series tied.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 7th-place Big Pin Pin (hcp 60) will match wits with 5th-place Nellielocks and the 3 Spares. Pin Pin will likely maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Nellielocks will probably raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
- Finally, on lanes 25&26, 1st-place 4 Play will chuck some balls with 3rd-place Handicrappers (hcp 130). 4 Play is predicted to roll a little low, yet still manage to win the series; while Handicrappers are anticipated to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
