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 chucked gutter balls with No Pinheads. Highlighting the skills of Most Valuable Bowler Janelle (Laube) Lamar and her breathtaking 500 series, Lil' Devils celebrated a clean sweep over the Pinheads. In the meantime, 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 sparred with Little Lebowski Urban Achievers. Notwithstanding the leadership of Rob Kaszuba with his 475 series, 3 Pin Moon got swept by the Urban Achievers. On the other half of the score sheet, Jim Flath called the shots for 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 spent a romantic evening with The Prak Attack. Blessed by Ken M. Wilson with his above-average 616 series, the Empire split the series with the Attack. While that was going down, Joe Longstreet commanded the Attack with his marvelous 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 had a rendezvous with Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz. Though reinforced by 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. Across the ball return, 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.

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Ken M. Wilson eradicated Division 1, while Chris Lewis routed Division 2. Janelle (Laube) Lamar decimated Division 3, and Orion Kinkaid made quick work of Division 4. In terms of overall points: Ken M. Wilson tops Division 1; Brett Schroeder is in the driver's seat in Division 2; Janelle (Laube) Lamar calls the shots for Division 3; and Lawrence Prak leads 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 share a couple of pitchers 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 hang out 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 spend some quality time 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.
