The Spring 2010 position round is now history, and and the championship will be on us before we know it! The eighth week saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. Two bowlers set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Janelle (Laube) Lamar landed this week's high game for the women with a 172, and women's high series was bagged by Angela Bradford with a 474. As for the men, Ryan Doll snagged this week's high game with a 220, and high series was earned by Ian Goetz with a 600. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 25 & 26: No Pinheads faced off against 3 Pin Moon. Even though highlighted by the skills of Dennis Laube with his 508 series, the Pinheads got swept by 3 Pin Moon. Concurrently, Ryan Doll showed off in 3 Pin Moon with his 562 as they swept the competition. No Pinheads drop 1 spot in the standings to 2nd place, while 3 Pin Moon moves 1 spot to 1st.
On lanes 27 & 28: Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz sparred with Empire Strikes Back. Topped by Bob Brunker with his 559 series, the Schlitz split the series with the Empire. On the flipside, trifecta-winner (#1 Head-to-Head, #1 Power-Ranked, and Most Valuable Bowler) Ian Goetz laid down the law in the Empire with his above-average 600 as they matched their opponent in wins. Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz remains in 3rd place, while the Empire remains in 4th.
On lanes 29 & 30: The Prak Attack shared a platter of cheese sticks with Bowlumpkin. Regardless of the star power of Shane Pfaffly with his above-average 457 series, the Attack accomplished only 1 win against Bowlumpkin. In the meantime, Dave Winger drew the spotlight in Bowlumpkin with his above-average 445 as his team took the series with 3 wins.

Finally, down on lanes 31 & 32: Lil' Devils hung out with Little Lebowski Urban Achievers. Demonstrating the prowess of Janelle (Laube) Lamar with her dazzling 462 series, Lil' Devils celebrated a clean sweep over the Urban Achievers. On the other side, Greg Shelton reigned supreme in the Urban Achievers with his above-average 411 despite his team getting swept.
