The third week of Fall 2002 saw one team climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Janelle (Laube) Lamar landed this week's high game for the women with a 144, and women's high series was bagged by Freda Schroeder with a 409. As for the men, Bob Brunker earned this week's high game (204) and series (522). Read on for all the rest of the details!

First up, on lanes 17 & 18: Pop Gunns faced off against Top Guns. Though featuring Ken M. Wilson with his 502 series, Pop Gunns accomplished only 1 win against Top Guns. As for the opposition, Bob Brunker oversaw Top Guns with his 522 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Pop Gunns drop 1 spot in the standings to 2nd place, while Top Guns jump 2 spots to 1st.

On lanes 19 & 20: UnaBowlers kept stealing sips of beer from Team 5. Led by Corey Weinfurt with his 453 series, and supported tremendously by real star — trifecta-winner #1 Power-Ranked, #1 Head-to-Head, and Most Valuable Bowler John McComb, the UnaBowlers collected 3 wins against Team 5. Countering this, David Codding drew the spotlight in Team 5 with his 425 despite his team notching only a single win. UnaBowlers remains in 4th place, while Team 5 sinks 1 spot to 3rd.

Finally, down on lanes 21 & 22: Team 6 alternated between bowling and dry humping GRRR. Headlined by Janelle (Laube) Lamar with her 373 series, Team 6 split the series with GRRR. On the adjacent lane, Pat O'Reily commanded GRRR with his 485 as they matched their opponent in wins. Team 6 remains in 6th place, while GRRR remains in 5th.

Bowlers slipping under the velvet rope in front of The 200 Club include: Bob Brunker (204)

A new personal high game was set tonight by John McComb (167, previous best 135). In addition, a new personal best series was rolled by John McComb (413, previous best 335).

NEXT WEEK:

• First, on lanes 17&18, 4th-place UnaBowlers will socialize with 6th-place Team 6. The UnaBowlers are expected to perform weakly, but split the series with Team 6; while Team 6 is forecast to see their team average take a dive while they keep the series tied.
• Moving to lanes 19&20, 5th-place GRRR will battle 1st-place Top Guns. GRRR might see a pretty significant "market correction" to their averages, but split the series with Top Guns; while Top Guns ought to see their team average take a dive while they keep the series tied.
• Finally, on lanes 21&22, 2nd-place Pop Gunns will spend some quality time with 3rd-place Team 5. Pop Gunns are predicted to have the bottom drop out of their averages, but split the series with Team 5; while Team 5 is anticipated to see their team average take a dive while they keep the series tied.
