The fifth week of Spring 2006 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. Tracy Rychlewski landed this week's high game for the women with a 155, and women's high series was bagged by Freda Schroeder with a 439. As for the men, Tim Segraves snagged this week's high game with a 246, and high series was earned by David Codding with a 637. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 21 & 22: Sweeter Than Yoohoo traded lane malfunctions with Bowl Movement. Headlined by Tim Segraves with his awe-inspiring 601 series, Yoohoo collected 3 wins against Bowl Movement. Countering this, #1 Head-to-Head David Codding reigned supreme in Bowl Movement with his wondrous 637 despite his team notching only a single win. Sweeter Than Yoohoo leaps 1 spot in the standings to 2nd place, while Bowl Movement plunges 2 spots to 4th.
On lanes 23 & 24: Split Happens couldn't stop undressing with their eyes the members of Guttersluts. Showcasing Ryan Doll with his stunning 510 series, Split Happens collected 3 wins against Guttersluts. On the adjacent lane, Travis Kleiner commanded Guttersluts with his above-average 403 despite his team notching only a single win. Split Happens leap 1 spot in the standings to 3rd place, while Guttersluts remain in 8th.
On lanes 25 & 26: Tatonka deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Bora Bora. With the strength of #1 Power-Ranked Andy McLeod and his dazzling 537 series, Tatonka split the series with Bora Bora. In the midst of this, Dennis Laube guided Bora Bora with his 514 as they matched their opponent in wins. Tatonka remains in 7th place, while Bora Bora remains in 5th.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka! accepted a challenge by Yo Mama. In spite of top-billing by Pat Searcy with his above-average 567 series, the Belt accomplished only 1 win against Yo Mama. Across the ball return, Andy Metzler laid down the law in Yo Mama with his 521 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Jason Caton) as his team took the series with 3 wins. I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka! remains in 1st place, while Yo Mama remains in 6th.
Bowlers sneaking into The 200 Club include: Andy McLeod (212), Carl Goetz (210), David Codding (212,232), Ken M. Wilson (202), Michael Basham (218), Pat Searcy (231), Ryan Doll (225), Seth Gunderson (215), Steve Kiernan (201), and Tim Segraves (246)

In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Michael Basham claimed victory in Division 1, while David Codding shut down Division 2. Tim Segraves walloped Division 3, and Andrea Wilson trounced Division 4. And, finally, nobody claimed victory in the Interdivisional bracket (though Jason Carpio (Division ) came closest). In terms of overall points: Michael Basham runs the show in Division 1; David Codding holds the reins in Division 2; Tim Segraves reigns over Division 3; and Ryan Doll and Andrea Wilson top Division 4 in a tie.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 21&22, 6th-place Yo Mama will throw some gutter balls with 7th-place Tatonka (hcp 1). Yo Mama is expected to roll a little low and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Tatonka is forecast to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Moving to lanes 23&24, 5th-place Bora Bora (hcp 84) will meet with 1st-place I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka!. Bora Bora might maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Belt ought to drop their average a bit even as they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 25&26, 3rd-place Split Happens (hcp 188) will match wits with 4th-place Bowl Movement. Split Happens will likely maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Bowl Movement will probably hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 8th-place Guttersluts (hcp 237) will spend some quality time with 2nd-place Sweeter Than Yoohoo. Guttersluts are predicted to perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Yoohoo is anticipated to drop their average a bit even as they enjoy their victories.
