The fourteenth week of Spring 2007 saw one team climb in the standings, while one team slipped. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (182) and series (517) for the women. As for the men, Kendall Kukowski snagged this week's high game with a 236, and high series was earned by John Boren with a 588. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 15 & 16: Doll's Balls traded lane malfunctions with Unstoppabowl. Though reinforced by #1 Head-to-Head John Richardson and his above-average 526 series, Doll's Balls accomplished only 1 win against Unstoppabowl. Simultaneously, Kendall Kukowski shined in Unstoppabowl with his exceptional 528 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Doll's Balls plummet 2 spots in the standings to 9th place, while Unstoppabowl remains in 4th.
On lanes 17 & 18: T.B.D. kept grabbing the balls of Frickin' Ten Pin. In spite of the prowess of Steve Kiernan with his 534 series, T.B.D. accomplished only 1 win against Ten Pin. While that was going down, Carl Goetz dominated Ten Pin with his 574 as his team took the series with 3 wins. T.B.D. remains in 10th place, while Ten Pin jumps 2 spots to 7th.
On lanes 19 & 20: Oily Balls couldn't stop inappropriately groping King Pins. Highlighting the skills of Ken M. Wilson with his 541 series, with a nod to #1 Power-Ranked Deena Slinkard, Oily Balls collected 3 wins against King Pins. On the adjacent lane, Duncan Ferber laid down the law in King Pins with his 545 despite his team notching only a single win. Oily Balls remains in 2nd place, while King Pins remain in 6th.
On lanes 21 & 22: Guttersluts couldn't stop undressing with their eyes the members of Those 4 Bowlers. Topped by John Boren with his above-average 588 series, Guttersluts collected 3 wins against 4 Bowlers. Across the ball return, Seth Gunderson showed off in 4 Bowlers with his below-average 494 despite his team notching only a single win. Guttersluts remains in 1st place, while 4 Bowlers remain in 5th.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: X9XX hung out with Churn and Burn. Showcasing Stefan Miller with his 524 series, X9XX split the series with Churn and Burn. In the meantime, James Cholke mastered Churn and Burn with his above-average 510 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Jamie Gibson) as they matched their opponent in wins. X9XX remains in 3rd place, while Churn and Burn remains in 8th.
Bowlers ducking past the bouncer at The 200 Club include: Carl Goetz (221), Duncan Ferber (212), John Boren (200,220), Ken M. Wilson (203), Kendall Kukowski (236), Phil Schroeder (207), and Steve Kiernan (201)
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: John Boren trounced Division 1, while nobody claimed victory in Division 2 (though James Cholke came closest). John Richardson dominated Division 3, and Shaun Crockett spanked Division 4. And, finally, nobody claimed victory in the Interdivisional bracket (though Ken M. Wilson (Division ) came closest). In terms of overall points: John Boren tops Division 1; Seth Gunderson dominates Division 2; John Richardson is in the driver's seat in Division 3; and Kendall Kukowski governs Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 15&16, 10th-place T.B.D. (hcp 119) will share a couple of pitchers with 3rd-place X9XX. T.B.D. is expected to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while X9XX is forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 17&18, 6th-place King Pins (hcp 68) will chill with 4th-place Unstoppabowl. King Pins might maintain their current strength as they just barely miss getting swept; while Unstoppabowl ought to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 19&20, 1st-place Guttersluts (hcp 8) will battle 7th-place Frickin' Ten Pin. Guttersluts will likely have a bit of an off night and get swept; while Ten Pin will probably hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Next up, on lanes 21&22, 9th-place Doll's Balls (hcp 8) will hang out with 8th-place Churn and Burn. Doll's Balls might maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Churn and Burn ought to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 23&24, 2nd-place Oily Balls will compete against 5th-place Those 4 Bowlers (hcp 73). Oily Balls are predicted to maintain their current strength as they and split the series with 4 Bowlers; while 4 Bowlers are anticipated to raise their average while they keep the series tied.

FROM THE GUTTER (GUTTER QUOTE)
"Bolton, JoAnna, and I had a three way that last frame. Err, I mean, we were all three in the gutter. Dammit, you know what I mean!"
Stefan Miller, with whom the seed for the idea has now been planted.
