The eleventh week of Spring 2010 saw one team climb in the standings, while one team slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (192) and series (530) for the women, while Ken M. Wilson earned this week's high game (256) and series (616) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 25 & 26: Lil' Devils alternated between bowling and dry humping No Pinheads. Topped by Most Valuable Bowler Janelle (Laube) Lamar and her astonishing 500 series, Lil' Devils celebrated a clean sweep over the Pinheads. Countering this, Freda Schroeder oversaw the Pinheads with her 494 despite her team getting swept. Lil' Devils leap 2 spots in the standings to 4th place, while the Pinheads plunge 2 spots to 6th.
On lanes 27 & 28: 3 Pin Moon faced off against Little Lebowski Urban Achievers. Despite the strength of Rob Kaszuba with his 475 series, 3 Pin Moon got swept by the Urban Achievers. On the adjacent lane, Jim Flath ruled the Urban Achievers with his above-average 436 as they swept the competition. 3 Pin Moon remains in 3rd place, while the Urban Achievers remain in 8th.
On lanes 29 & 30: Empire Strikes Back had a delightful time with The Prak Attack. Starring Ken M. Wilson with his above-average 616 series, the Empire split the series with the Attack. In the midst of this, Joe Longstreet commanded the Attack with his exceptional 429 as they matched their opponent in wins. Empire Strikes Back remains in 2nd place, while the Attack remains in 7th.
Finally, down on lanes 31 & 32: Bowlumpkin accepted a challenge by Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz. Even though highlighted by the skills of Jason Carpio with his above-average 574 series, with props to #1 Power-Ranked and Most Valuable Bowler Janelle Laube, Bowlumpkin accomplished only 1 win against the Schlitz. On the other half of the score sheet, Scott Murdock showed off in the Schlitz with his above-average 538 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Bowlumpkin remains in 5th place, while the Schlitz remains in 1st.
Bowlers sneaking into The 200 Club include: Bob Brunker (204), Carl Goetz (209,215), Jason Carpio (230), Ken M. Wilson (256), Orion Kinkaid (202), and Rob Kaszuba (208)

Adding to the excitement, the 256 rolled by Ken M. Wilson is this season's new high game for men.
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Ken M. Wilson shut down Division 1, while Chris Lewis conquered Division 2. Janelle (Laube) Lamar triumphed over her enemies in Division 3, and Orion Kinkaid walloped Division 4. In terms of overall points: Ken M. Wilson dominates Division 1; Brett Schroeder holds the reins in Division 2; Janelle (Laube) Lamar tops Division 3; and Lawrence Prak governs Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 25&26, 2nd-place Empire Strikes Back will roll against 5th-place Bowlumpkin (hcp 137). The Empire is expected to perform well and sweep the series; while Bowlumpkin is forecast to hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Moving to lanes 27&28, 7th-place The Prak Attack (hcp 116) will spend some quality time with 1st-place Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz. The Attack might maintain their current strength as they get swept; while the Schlitz ought to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Then, over on lanes 29&30, 4th-place Lil' Devils (hcp 128) will meet with 3rd-place 3 Pin Moon. Lil' Devils will likely maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while 3 Pin Moon will probably drop their average a bit even as they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 31&32, 6th-place No Pinheads will match wits with 8th-place Little Lebowski Urban Achievers (hcp 138). The Pinheads are predicted to roll a little low, yet still manage to win the series; while the Urban Achievers are anticipated to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
