Last night, based on exit polling plus early returns, Bowling News Network (BNN) called first place for Serious Bowlers. Boy, are we red-faced about that one. We haven't missed a call that badly since we projected Hiillary Clinton the Tournament of Champions winner in Fall 2016! (more...)  Read More →

(Note: Until Gucci Lane post-bowls later this week, this will mostly remain a robo-writeup.) But we can say this much: While the results aren't official until post-bowling scores are in, we can confirm that the defending back-to-back champions Serious(ly not in first) Bowlers, anchored by Aaron Barber, have tightened their grasp on third place after a dramatic week of bowling. Meanwhile Monica Hufford picked up this week's high game (162) and series (427) for the women, while Michael Gordon... (more...)

The Fall 2018 position round is now history, and we now have a new league leader that has pulled ahead of the pack. The tenth week saw two teams climb in the standings, while one team slipped. Two bowlers set a new personal best series. Freda Schroeder landed this week's high game for the women with a 190, and women's high series was bagged by Monica Hufford with a 480. As for the men, Dennis Walling earned this week's high game (224) and series (598). Read on for all the rest of the details! ... (more...)

Every team has now bowled every other team, and it took every one of those 9 weeks of sessions for one of the teams that everyone thought should have been in first place to finally get there, albeit as part of a tie (just like they last time they were in this position in week 1). It should also be noted that the team that got there this week is not the so-called defending champions. (more...)  Read More →

We are now halfway through the Fall 2018 season, and the league seems to have hit a brick wall. Other than a tit-for-tat between BDE and We Don't Give A Split, no teams were able to budge in the standings with just a week to go before Position Round. Alison Radke landed this week's high game for the women with a 183, and women's high series was bagged by Monica Hufford with a 475. As for the men, Carl Goetz earned this week's high game (236) and series (603). Read on for all the rest of the... (more...)

Week 7 was the grooviest anyone in our league or at the bowling counter had ever seen. In addition to being so freakin' groovy, this week saw two teams climb in the standings, while one team slipped. Monica Hufford picked up this week's high game (188) and series (496) for the women. As for the men, Nick Kinney snagged this week's high game with a 225, and high series was earned by Aaron Barber with a 607. Read on for all the rest of the details! (more...)  Read More →

Scoot isn't feeling well, so we're going to stick mostly with the Robo-Writeup this week. The fifth week of Fall 2018 saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Monica Hufford tentatively picked up this week's high game (199) and series (522) for the women, while Aaron Barber teantatively earned this week's high game (257) and series (609) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details! ... (more...)

This week was packed with splits, open frames, and many normally-good bowlers struggling to roll even respectfully close to their averages, while others with lower averages soared this week. Was it the oil pattern, or was it some sort of conspiracy? All that aside, Monica Hufford picked up this week's high game (168) and series (479) for the women, while Aaron Barber earned this week's high game (203) and series (586) for the men. Meanwhile, the Tournament of Champions also kicked off tonight,... (more...)

It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of Dave Winger, a beloved league member, on the evening of Thursday, September 6. (more...)  Read More →

For the first time this season, a team has pulled away from the pack of ties to become the first first-place leader of the season. Granted, Red Strikes Matter hasn't had to face any challenging teams yet, especially not this week, so it remains to be seen what will happen next week when they have to deal with some real competition.

The Fall 2018 bowling season got off to a glitchy start, but with two subs filling in the gaps this was also the largest opening-night turnout in quite some time! Ten teams entered the 16-week competition for the coveted, nonexistent championship trophy, among them ten rookies and only one opening-night Vacancy! (more...)  Read More →

Welcome to the Fall 2018 bowling season, our 38th season! (more...)  Read More →

37 seasons of bowling are now complete, and after a bit of a drop off last Fall we bounced right back this Spring up to great games and great series. (more...)  Read More →

The Spring 2018 season draws to a close, with WITNESS!!! officially earning this season's championship title last week. But we aren't quite finished yet -- next week we will 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. (more...)  Read More →

All hope for a mathematically-difficult upset by any of the three teams in position to unseat the reigning champs quickly went up in flames last night, as WITNESS!!! lit up enough wins to clinch the championship outright. This makes 11 championships for Seth Gunderson, 6 for Jonathan Vigliaturo, 3 (consecutive) for Aaron Barber, and 2 (consecutive) for Nick Kinney. Congratulations, guys! Now get to work on your awards night presentation! (more...)  Read More →

(NOTE: Due to Scoot being unusually busy this week, we are sticking with the computer-generated recap for this week.) The fourteenth week of Spring 2018 saw two teams climb in the standings (including one all but written off team that has leapfrogged into second place), while two teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (190) and series (522) for the women. As for the men, Aaron Barber and Michael Mead both tied for this week's high... (more...)

While the standings didn't change at all tonight, quite a lot actually happened. Before we get into the big story of the night, we will take a moment to remember some of the other people who accomplished things tonight. Monica Hufford picked up this week's high game (188) and series (474) for the women. As for the men, Dennis Walling snagged this week's high game with a score that we'll get to in a moment. High series was earned by Kody Karnes with a 699. Read on for all the rest of the details! ... (more...)

Until last week, Mary Janes Last Frame had been suffering. They hadn't had a winning week since February 13, so it was good to see their fortunes finally turn last week and continue this week. However, more noteworthy, MJ is also the only team that is consistently tripping up Witness!!!. Their 7-1 record against Witness (making Mary Jane the only team with a winning record against the first-place team) makes one wonder how the championship might turn out if Mary Jane can somehow rally enough... (more...)
