Big Beginnings

Posted by Ken August 26, 2014 Fall 2014, Week 1 View Score Sheets

The very first night of our 30th season of GutterAlley action is now in the books and the league split it right down the middle with four teams coming away with records of 3-1 while the other half took it on the chin 1-3. Three rookies made their debut – along with one rookie sub – Tuesday night so we'd like to extend a warm welcome to Brian Coe, Dan Imperial, Todd Way (officially a full-time bowler this season!), and sub Spencer Branham. Welcome the league, gentlemen!In the first match up of the night, reigning champions My Three Sons put it to opponents The Finger Holes in a 3-1 matchup victory proving that sandbagging just doesn't work. Putting up the highest series for the Sons was pre-bowling Carl Goetz and his 542 series. Aubrey Moren provided the most fire power for The F-Holes with his 543 but it simply wasn't enough to earn more than one victory. My Three Sons start their title defense in 2nd, due to total pins, while The Finger Holes debut in 6th place.With two of their bowlers out in Vegas, Pin and Tonics – led by Jake Parrott's 424 series – doubled down to take Game #1. Lady luck changed after that as Ballz Out took control the rest of the way to end the night with three out of four victories. Cliff Barendsen led the charge with his 479 series to push his team into 4th while P&T find themselves starting out in 7th place.Following the same formula as above, Split It & Hit It came out firing behind Todd Way's 527 debut to secure Game #1 before More Beer, Chelsea served them the rest of the night en route to a 3-1 victory. Anchor Eric Lynch's 462 series was the tops for More Beer, tapping their first week in 3rd while Split It starts out in 8th place.Narrowly missing a sweep, the brashly named 921+ almost reached their goal on the initial night against opponents Dixie Stampede by rolling the second highest team game in league history in Game #3 (missing the record by a mere three pins) to take the night 3-1 and landing in 1st place. Ryan Doll put up the best series for Dixie – a 596 – but only managed a single win. Dixie Stampede begins their stampede in 5th place. 921+'s Kody Karnes was this week's #1 Power Ranked bowler.As it sometimes happens, no one qualified to be this week's Most Valuable Bowler. The Tournament of Champions will be watching you closely, zeroing in on where you will be placed at the conclusion of Week #3. Bowlers starting their season off with a stop at The 200 Club include: Brian Coe (218, 204), John Boren (268), Ken M. Wilson (222), Kody Karnes (204, 246, 225), and Ryan Doll (226).See you next Tuesday!
