The eleventh week of Spring 2008 saw three teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (189) and series (480) for the women, while Don Glasscock earned this week's high game (268) and series (666) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Dios Mios spent some quality time with You Don't Know Sh!t. Even though highlighted by the skills of John Boren with his 530 series, Dios Mios got swept by Don't Know Sh!t. On the other half of the score sheet, Duncan Ferber dominated Don't Know Sh!t with his stupendous 645 as they swept the competition. Dios Mios plummet 2 spots in the standings to 6th place, while Don't Know Sh!t remains in 2nd.
On lanes 21 & 22: ? entered a showdown to the death with Dr. Strangelanes, Or How I Learned To Stop Opening And Earn The Belt. Although topped by John Coleman with his (either injured, sick, or sandbagging) 441 series, ? accomplished only 1 win against Dr. Strangelanes.

Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Bad Newz Kennels alternated between bowling and dry humping Split Happens. Notwithstanding the leadership of Dennis Laube with his 481 series, the Kennels accomplished only 1 win against Split Happens. On the flipside, #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head Ryan Schooley showed off in Split Happens with his miraculous 553 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Bad Newz Kennels remains in 1st place, while Split Happens move 1 spot to 9th.
Bowlers who lied to their significant other claiming bowling was running long then went out for after-bowling drinks at The 200 Club include: Cory Chorpenning (200), Don Glasscock (268,215), Duncan Ferber (201,220,224), and Ryan Schooley (204)

The 268 rolled by Don Glasscock is tied for the 6th-best game in league history!
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Duncan Ferber clobbered Division 1, while Travis Kleiner swept Division 2. Nobody claimed victory in Division 3 (though John Richardson came closest), and Shaun Crockett eradicated Division 4. And, finally, nobody claimed victory in the Interdivisional bracket, and in fact we aren't even going to talk about this bracket as it was a complete embarassment. In terms of overall points: Kendall Kukowski runs the show in Division 1; Dennis Laube governs Division 2; Kris Hiestand tops Division 3; and Aubrey Moren dominates Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 3rd-place 3 Dudes and a Doll will meet with 8th-place Ebowla (hcp 68). 3 Dudes and a Doll is expected to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Ebowla is forecast to raise their average even as they avoid getting swept.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 6th-place Dios Mios (hcp 60) will chill with 1st-place Bad Newz Kennels. Dios Mios might maintain their current strength as they get swept; while the Kennels ought to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 2nd-place You Don't Know Sh!t will chuck some balls with 9th-place Split Happens (hcp 160). Don't Know Sh!t will likely have a bit of an off night and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Split Happens will probably raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Next up, on lanes 25&26, 5th-place Dr. Strangelanes, Or How I Learned To Stop Opening And Earn The Belt (hcp 47) will socialize with 7th-place Sofa King Good. Dr. Strangelanes might perform well and win the series; while Sofa King ought to drop their average a bit while they avoid getting swept.
