		<description><![CDATA[As our 20th year of bowling came to a close and we prepare to embark on our next 20 years, the bowling alley echoed the moment by ripping out the ball returns and scoring consoles we've been kicking/using since our formation and replaced them with spiffy new ones have no idea the abuse they will soon endure.  

Despite the myriad of exceptions they annoying quizzed Scoot on last night, <a href="/teams/?teamID=367">See you next Tuesday!</a> remains the championship team so now gets to perform next week's awards presentation, which according to league rules must be done in the form of a musical every 40th season.   Next week we meet at our usual time to name all the award winners and hand out prize money (in the meeting room on the Finnegan's side, through the back of the snack bar), followed by 9-pin-tap fun night. 

The final week  saw <strong>not even <em>one</em> full-time VML bowler show up to bowl</strong>, and only one team move up in the standings.  Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (168) and series (445) for the women. As for the men, Dennis Walling snagged this week's high game with a 236, and high series was earned by  Ian Goetz with a 624.  Read on for all the rest of the details!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite it not being the <em>most</em> likely of the three possible outcomes tonight, <a href="/teams/?teamID=367">See you next Tuesday!</a> managed to clinch the championship a week early!  Though it's been a few seasons since we last saw them on top, this makes the third title for this specific team.    This is also the third title for Nick Kinney, the fourth for Aaron Barber, the seventh for Jonathan Vigliaturo, and then... twelfth... for Seth Gunderson.   Congrats, guys!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ As the Fall 2019 season draws closer to its conclusion, a bowling session that went almost exactly as predicted saw four sets of sweeps that led to... no change in the standings except for a flip of the bottom two positions. However, <em>three</em> bowlers set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game.  Freda Schroeder landed  this week's high game for the women with a 151, and women's high series was bagged by  Alison Radke with a 402. As for the men, Ben Spencer snagged this week's high game with a 235, and high series was earned by  Carl Goetz with a 637.  Read on for all the rest of the details!]]></description>
