The Fall 2003 season draws to a close, with Anchors Aweigh! officially earning this season's championship title! The final week saw one team climb in the standings, while two teams 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 (181) and series (543) for the women, while Pat Searcy earned this week's high game (246) and series (621) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 15 & 16: Anchors Aweigh! had some one-on-one time with Bowlers of Mass Confusion. Highlighting the skills of David Codding with his 558 series, the Anchors collected 3 wins against Mass Confusion. While that was going down, Corey Weinfurt guided Mass Confusion with his above-average 522 despite his team notching only a single win. Anchors Aweigh! end in 1st place, while Mass Confusion cross the finish line in 2nd.
On lanes 17 & 18: Wolverines kept stealing sips of beer from Bowl me Ishmael!. Demonstrating the prowess of Dennis Laube with his 459 series, the Wolverines celebrated a clean sweep over Ishmael. Across the ball return, Dennis Pruitt took the lead in Ishmael with his 378 despite his team getting swept. Wolverines leap 2 spots in the standings to finish in 3rd place, while Ishmael sinks 1 spot to come out in 4th.
On lanes 19 & 20: Theee Beeelt matched wits with Gutter Minds. Although topped by Aaron Weidner with his above-average 547 series, Theee Beeelt got swept by Gutter Minds. On the adjacent lane, #1 Head-to-Head Pat Searcy ruled Gutter Minds with his above-average 621 as they swept the competition. Theee Beeelt drops 1 spot in the standings to close out in 5th place, while Gutter Minds go home with 6th.
Finally, down on lanes 21 & 22: Spare Change couldn't stop inappropriately groping Atomic Goo. Despite being led by #1 Power-Ranked Bill Krejci and his amazing 556 series, Spare Change accomplished only 1 win against Atomic Goo. On the flipside, Phil Schroeder drew the spotlight in Atomic Goo with his above-average 447 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Marca Robinson) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Spare Change complete in 7th place, while Atomic Goo end up with 8th.
Bowlers ducking past the bouncer at The 200 Club include: Aaron Weidner (202), Bill Krejci (202,215), and Pat Searcy (203,246)

The 246 rolled by Pat Searcy is tied for the 5th-best game in league history!
The 543 rolled by Angela Bradford is the new 7th-best women's series in league history!
After a hard fought season, the Tournament of Champions was won tonight by Pat Searcy (Division 2), with landing in second place. Pat will pocket the nice first-place pot, while will take away the second-place pot. Congratulations!
