		<description><![CDATA[The 23rd season of the VML Bowling League has come to a conclusion with S*I*C*K winning the top spot in the standings.  The outcome from the Finals was very much lop-sided with only half of the league coming up with wins as four &#8211; count 'em, FOUR! &#8211; sweeps were dished out on the last night of league bowling.  Talk about a big finish.Ready to find out how your favorite team performed?  Let's go.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A western-theme washed over Week 15 as the bowlers of GutterAlley showed up to find the NKC Pro-Bowl packed with hundreds of cowboys and cowgirls enjoying a company party.  This merely set the stage as the shootouts began to gain some ground in the last week of regular season bowling before the Finals next week.  While no teams actually exchanged places in the league standings, ground was gained by several teams in preparation for the last week to earn more money in the prize fund envelopes.  ]]></description>

Just behind them, teams added more wins to their record in preparation for the position round styled Finals where teams will bowl their closest competitors.  Did S*I*C*K clinch the title this week?

With the team firing on all four cylinders after a season of ups and downs, Dolls and Balls looks poised to be the team to beat at the moment.  While the rest of the league knocks around &#8211; albeit with league leaders S*I*C*K still adding more wins to their record each week &#8211; Dolls and Balls stands on the brink of taking over first place if they can continue their momentum heading into the last few weeks before the Finals.  These last few weeks could create quite a bit of drama...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Something was definitely in the water (or beer) during Week 12 as numerous big games came out of seemingly nowhere to bring about some much needed victories.  With the Finals less than a month away, it's now or never if teams are going to propel themselves higher up in the standings en route to the title.  Heeding that call, several teams rose to the occasion and added more notches in their win columns against some pretty tough competition.  S*I*C*K continues to lead all teams, but is their time at the top coming to an end?  We'll certainly know here in the next couple of weeks...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When the league began, Ryan Doll claimed that his team this season was "just for fun."  Throw in unexpected arm surgery on his bowling arm and a roster member that has been there only once during the 11 weeks of the season so far, you'd think that they wouldn't be ranked that high in the league standings.  Well, that's not even close to the case.  Moving into 2nd place tonight after an impressive return to the lanes, Dolls and Balls is definitely on the move.  Ready to see how the league rolled?  Let's do this.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Life is filled with ups and downs and the wins, losses and scores from Week #10 in the VML Bowling league certainly reflected that Tuesday night.  First and second place took a beating from the 5th and 3rd place teams respectively while individual bowlers across the entire league shot well over or well under their averages.  Despite all of these wild swings, the standings remained relatively stable with only two teams swapping places this week.  The Finals are only a month and a half away so who knows where we'll be this time next week if this trend continues.Ready to get your Duncan on?]]></description>

The results of this week were somewhat surprising, with teams that performed well in the position round last week unable to carry forward that momentum.  Ready to see how everyone rolled?

For now, Week #6 managed to keep everyone in their current spots with two exceptions as No Pinheads bunny hopped SucmaBOWLS.  Not complacent with the status quo, the league was treated to a nice showing of dedication from Dolls and Balls' anchor Ryan Doll who despite having recently had surgery performed on his bowling arm showed up to keep his team from forfeiting and rolled with his opposite hand to keep his team in the running.  Ready to see how everyone did as the first half of the season nears its end?  ]]></description>

While S*I*C*K continues to distance themselves from everyone else, there's been quite the shakeup in the teams in the 2nd through 4th place spots.  Several powerhouse teams continue to struggle while other teams savor the sweet nectar of victory at their expense.  This week's breakout performance easily goes to Ian Goetz, pictured to the left.  Rolling his all-time personal best game and series, Goetz one-upped his father and teammate Carl for the first time all season.  Good rolling definitely runs in the family.Ready to see how everyone did?  ]]></description>
