The fifth week of Spring 2010 saw two teams climb in the standings, while one team slipped. Two bowlers set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (204) and series (527) for the women. As for the men, Phil Schroeder snagged this week's high game with a 232, and high series was earned by Carl Goetz with a 569. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 25 & 26: Lil' Devils waged a heated competition against Empire Strikes Back. Despite the strength of Janelle (Laube) Lamar with her above-average 405 series, Lil' Devils got swept by the Empire. On the other side, Carl Goetz ruled the Empire with his 569 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Chris Lewis) as they swept the competition. Lil' Devils remains in 8th place, while the Empire moves 1 spot to 3rd.
On lanes 27 & 28: Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Little Lebowski Urban Achievers. Highlighting the skills of Angela Bradford with her above-average 527 series, the Schlitz collected 3 wins against the Urban Achievers. In the meantime, Greg Shelton guided the Urban Achievers with his staggering 453 despite his team notching only a single win. Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz leaps 1 spot in the standings to 4th place, while the Urban Achievers plunge 2 spots to 5th.
On lanes 29 & 30: No Pinheads entered a showdown to the death with The Prak Attack. Led by Phil Schroeder with his dazzling 565 series, the Pinheads collected 3 wins against the Attack. Across the ball return, Shane Pfaffly drew the spotlight in the Attack with his 426 despite his team notching only a single win. No Pinheads remains in 1st place, while the Attack remains in 6th.
Finally, down on lanes 31 & 32: Bowlumpkin sparred with 3 Pin Moon. Although blessed by #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head Rich Foster and his splendid 567 series, Bowlumpkin missed getting swept by 3 Pin Moon by just one pin. Countering this, Ryan Doll called the shots for 3 Pin Moon with his 567 as his team took the series with 3.5 wins. Bowlumpkin remains in 7th place, while 3 Pin Moon remains in 2nd.
Bowlers slipping under the velvet rope in front of The 200 Club include: Angela Bradford (204), Aubrey Moren (205), Carl Goetz (217), Phil Schroeder (232), Rich Foster (212), and Ryan Doll (201)

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Bob Brunker creamed Division 1, while Phil Schroeder won Division 2. Greg Shelton decimated Division 3, and Bill Riley swept Division 4. In terms of overall points: Bob Brunker governs Division 1; Phil Schroeder dominates Division 2; Andrea Caudillo and Greg Shelton reign over Division 3 in a tie; and Sabrina Gray and Bill Riley run the show in Division 4 in a tie.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 25&26, 2nd-place 3 Pin Moon (hcp 16) will challenge 1st-place No Pinheads. 3 Pin Moon is expected to roll a little low, but split the series with the Pinheads; while the Pinheads are forecast to drop their average a bit while they keep the series tied.
- Moving to lanes 27&28, 6th-place The Prak Attack (hcp 40) will hang out with 7th-place Bowlumpkin. The Attack might maintain their current strength as they and split the series with Bowlumpkin; while Bowlumpkin ought to hold steady as they keep the series tied.
- Then, over on lanes 29&30, 4th-place Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz (hcp 68) will compete against 3rd-place Empire Strikes Back. The Schlitz will likely maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Empire will probably raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 31&32, 5th-place Little Lebowski Urban Achievers (hcp 10) will chuck some balls with 8th-place Lil' Devils. The Urban Achievers are predicted to perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Lil' Devils are anticipated to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
