We are now halfway through the Spring 2007 season, so time is running out for those teams who want a shot at the championship to position themselves. The eighth week saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (191) and series (503) for the women, while Carl Goetz earned this week's high game (242) and series (660) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 15 & 16: Doll's Balls had a delightful time with King Pins. In spite of top-billing by John Richardson with his powerful 499 series, Doll's Balls accomplished only 1 win against King Pins. On the flipside, John Coleman mastered King Pins with his 570 (along with kudos to #1 Power-Ranked and Most Valuable Bowler Daniel Bolton, as well as #1 Head-to-Head ) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Doll's Balls remains in 8th place, while King Pins remain in 10th.
On lanes 17 & 18: Churn and Burn had some one-on-one time with Oily Balls. Even though highlighted by the skills of James Cholke with his 489 series, Churn and Burn missed getting swept by Oily Balls by just one pin. On the other side, Pat Searcy oversaw Oily Balls with his 590 as his team took the series with 3.5 wins. Churn and Burn drops 1 spot in the standings to 7th place, while Oily Balls remain in 1st.
On lanes 19 & 20: X9XX spent some quality time with Frickin' Ten Pin. Showcasing Stefan Miller with his 523 series, X9XX collected 3 wins against Ten Pin. Across the ball return, #1 Head-to-Head Carl Goetz ruled Ten Pin with his stupendous 660 despite his team notching only a single win. X9XX remains in 4th place, while Ten Pin moves 1 spot to 6th.
On lanes 21 & 22: T.B.D. alternated between bowling and dry humping Those 4 Bowlers. Though reinforced by Steve Kiernan with his 555 series, T.B.D. accomplished only 1 win against 4 Bowlers. On the adjacent lane, Seth Gunderson laid down the law in 4 Bowlers with his above-average 566 as his team took the series with 3 wins. T.B.D. remains in 9th place, while 4 Bowlers remain in 5th.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: Guttersluts spent a romantic evening with Unstoppabowl. With the strength of Bill Krejci with his awe-inspiring 594 series, Guttersluts celebrated a clean sweep over Unstoppabowl. As for the opposition, Cory Chorpenning took the lead in Unstoppabowl with his below-average 500 despite his team getting swept. Guttersluts leap 1 spot in the standings to 2nd place, while Unstoppabowl sinks 1 spot to 3rd.
Bowlers ducking past the bouncer at The 200 Club include: Bill Krejci (221,204), Carl Goetz (242,218,200), John Boren (213), John Coleman (213), and Pat Searcy (212,216)
A new personal best series was rolled tonight by Dave Hickerson (514, previous best 499).
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Carl Goetz whipped Division 1, while Seth Gunderson dominated Division 2. Dave Hickerson topped Division 3, and Daniel Bolton crushed 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: Pat Searcy reigns over Division 1; Seth Gunderson runs the show in Division 2; Deena Slinkard holds the reins in Division 3; and Kendall Kukowski leads Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 15&16, 7th-place Churn and Burn (hcp 38) will chuck some balls with 6th-place Frickin' Ten Pin. Churn and Burn is expected to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Ten Pin is forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 17&18, 9th-place T.B.D. (hcp 55) will battle 3rd-place Unstoppabowl. T.B.D. might roll a little low and get swept; while Unstoppabowl ought to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Then, over on lanes 19&20, 10th-place King Pins (hcp 56) will spend some quality time with 5th-place Those 4 Bowlers. King Pins will likely maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while 4 Bowlers will probably raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Next up, on lanes 21&22, 1st-place Oily Balls will meet with 2nd-place Guttersluts (hcp 54). Oily Balls might perform well and sweep the series; while Guttersluts ought to drop their average a bit while they endure a rough night.
- Finally, on lanes 23&24, 8th-place Doll's Balls (hcp 28) will face 4th-place X9XX. Doll's Balls are predicted to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while X9XX is anticipated to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
