The sixth week of Spring 2007 saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. One bowler roll a new personal best game. Sara Bryant landed this week's high game for the women with a 178, and women's high series was bagged by Angela Bradford with a 496. As for the men, John Coleman snagged this week's high game with a 225, and high series was earned by Pat Searcy with a 621. Read on for all the rest of the details!

First up, on lanes 15 & 16: Unstoppabowl chucked gutter balls with Churn and Burn. Showcasing Cory Chorpenning with his 577 series, Unstoppabowl collected 3 wins against Churn and Burn. On the adjacent lane, James Cholke showed off in Churn and Burn with his below-average 462 despite his team notching only a single win. Unstoppabowl remains in 1st place, while Churn and Burn remains in 7th.

On lanes 17 & 18: Those 4 Bowlers shared a few beers with Frickin' Ten Pin. Topped by Seth Gunderson with his above-average 544 series, with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Shaun Crockett, 4 Bowlers collected 3 wins against Ten Pin. Across the ball return, Carl Goetz reigned supreme in Ten Pin with his 525 despite his team notching only a single win. Those 4 Bowlers leap 3 spots in the standings to 5th place, while Ten Pin sinks 1 spot to 6th.

On lanes 19 & 20: Guttersluts sparred with T.B.D.. Highlighting the skills of John Boren with his 525 series, Guttersluts celebrated a clean sweep over T.B.D.. On the other half of the score sheet, Steve Kiernan ruled T.B.D. with his (either injured, sick, or sandbagging) 473 despite his team getting swept. Guttersluts remains in 3rd place, while T.B.D. plunges 3 spots to 9th.

On lanes 21 & 22: X9XX kept stealing sips of beer from King Pins. Blessed by Dennis Laube with his 494 series, X9XX collected 3 wins against King Pins. Conversely, John Coleman drew the spotlight in King Pins with his above-average 595 despite his team notching only a single win. X9XX remains in 4th place, while King Pins remain in 10th.

Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: Oily Balls entered a showdown to the death with Doll's Balls. Headlined by #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head Pat Searcy and his above-average 621 series, Oily Balls split the series with Doll's Balls. Simultaneously, Ryan Doll mastered Doll's Balls with his 489 as they matched their opponent in wins. Oily Balls remains in 2nd place, while Doll's Balls move 1 spot to 8th.

Bowlers lounging at The 200 Club include: Cory Chorpenning (207), Dave Hickerson (205), John Coleman (225,205), Pat Searcy (222,203), and Seth Gunderson (209)

A new personal high game was set tonight by Dave Hickerson (205, previous best 193).

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Nobody claimed victory in Division 1 (though Ken M. Wilson came closest), while Seth Gunderson creamed Division 2. Angela Bradford shut down Division 3, and nobody claimed victory in Division 4 (though Kendall Kukowski came closest). Finally, Pat Searcy (Division 1) vanquished this week's Interdivisional bracket. In terms of overall points: Pat Searcy runs the show in Division 1; Bill Krejci and Seth Gunderson are both in the driver's seat (on each other's laps?) in Division 2 in a tie; Deena Slinkard and Angela Bradford dominate Division 3 in a tie; and Kendall Kukowski reigns over Division 4.

NEXT WEEK:

• First, on lanes 15&16, 4th-place X9XX will hang out with 5th-place Those 4 Bowlers (hcp 26). X9XX is expected to roll a little low and get swept; while 4 Bowlers are forecast to raise their average while they rack up a sweep.
• Moving to lanes 17&18, 3rd-place Guttersluts will tussle with 10th-place King Pins (hcp 83). Guttersluts might roll a little low, yet still manage to win the series; while King Pins ought to drop their average a bit while they avoid getting swept.
• Then, over on lanes 19&20, 2nd-place Oily Balls will challenge 1st-place Unstoppabowl (hcp 50). Oily Balls will likely roll decently and win the series; while Unstoppabowl will probably hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
• Next up, on lanes 21&22, 6th-place Frickin' Ten Pin will chill with 8th-place Doll's Balls (hcp 46). Ten Pin might maintain their current strength as they and split the series with Doll's Balls; while Doll's Balls ought to hold steady as they keep the series tied.
• Finally, on lanes 23&24, 9th-place T.B.D. (hcp 32) will face 7th-place Churn and Burn. T.B.D. is predicted to maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Churn and Burn is anticipated to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
