The thirteenth week of Spring 2006 saw two teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. One bowler roll a new personal best game. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (195) and series (527) for the women. As for the men, Ken M. Wilson snagged this week's high game with a 236, and high series was earned by David Codding with a 627. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 21 & 22: Tatonka hung out with Bora Bora. While headlined by Greg Franklin with his above-average 407 series, Tatonka got swept by Bora Bora. On the adjacent lane, Freda Schroeder mastered Bora Bora with her dramatic 527 as they swept the competition. Tatonka remains in 8th place, while Bora Bora jumps 2 spots to 3rd.
On lanes 23 & 24: I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka! deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Yo Mama. Highlighting the skills of Seth Gunderson with his above-average 562 series, the Belt collected 3 wins against Yo Mama. Conversely, Andy Metzler reigned supreme in Yo Mama with his below-average 488 despite his team notching only a single win. I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka! remains in 1st place, while Yo Mama sinks 1 spot to 7th.
On lanes 25 & 26: Split Happens matched wits with Guttersluts. Notwithstanding the leadership of #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head Ryan Doll and his thrilling 591 series, Split Happens missed getting swept by Guttersluts by just one pin. Countering this, Travis Kleiner took the lead in Guttersluts with his wondrous 486 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Ariel Waldman) as his team took the series with 3.5 wins. Split Happens drop 1 spot in the standings to 4th place, while Guttersluts move 1 spot to 6th.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Sweeter Than Yoohoo did battle with Bowl Movement. With Yoohoo forfeiting, all Bowl Movement needed to do was roll within 50 pins of their combined team average each game. Mission accomplished. In their battle to get within at least 40 pins of average, David Codding called the shots for Bowl Movement with his above-average 627 as they swept the competition. Sweeter Than Yoohoo drops 1 spot in the standings to 5th place, while Bowl Movement remains in 2nd.
Bowlers rolling into The 200 Club include: David Codding (218,203,206), Ken M. Wilson (236), Rich DeYoung (211), Ryan Doll (202,211), Seth Gunderson (213), and Travis Kleiner (211)
A new personal high game was set tonight by Andrea Wilson (168, previous best 160). Adding to the excitement, the 527 rolled by Freda Schroeder is this season's new high series among women.
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Ken M. Wilson triumphed over his enemies in Division 1, while David Codding trounced Division 2. Nobody claimed victory in Division 3 (though Scott Murdock came closest), and Ryan Doll eradicated Division 4. And, finally, nobody claimed victory in the Interdivisional bracket (though Scott Murdock (Division ) came closest). In terms of overall points: Ken M. Wilson tops Division 1; David Codding dominates Division 2; John Richardson holds the reins in Division 3; and Ryan Doll runs the show in Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 21&22, 4th-place Split Happens (hcp 189) will share a couple of pitchers with 2nd-place Bowl Movement. Split Happens are expected to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Bowl Movement is forecast to drop their average a bit even as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 23&24, 6th-place Guttersluts (hcp 216) will challenge 5th-place Sweeter Than Yoohoo. Guttersluts might perform well, but split the series with Yoohoo; while Yoohoo ought to drop their average a bit while they keep the series tied.
- Then, over on lanes 25&26, 3rd-place Bora Bora (hcp 72) will face 1st-place I'm Gonna Belt Ya, Sucka!. Bora Bora will likely maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Belt will probably hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 7th-place Yo Mama will spend some quality time with 8th-place Tatonka (hcp 16). Yo Mama is predicted to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Tatonka is anticipated to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
