The eleventh week of Spring 2010 saw one team climb in the standings, while one team slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (192) and series (530) for the women, while Ken M. Wilson earned this week's high game (256) and series (616) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 25 & 26: Lil' Devils had some one-on-one time with No Pinheads. Highlighting the skills of Most Valuable Bowler Janelle (Laube) Lamar and her splendid 500 series, Lil' Devils celebrated a clean sweep over the Pinheads. While that was going down, Freda Schroeder dominated the Pinheads with her 494 despite her team getting swept. Lil' Devils leap 2 spots in the standings to 4th place, while the Pinheads plunge 2 spots to 6th.
On lanes 27 & 28: 3 Pin Moon sparred with Little Lebowski Urban Achievers. Regardless of the star power of Rob Kaszuba with his 475 series, 3 Pin Moon got swept by the Urban Achievers. On the adjacent lane, Jim Flath took the lead in the Urban Achievers with his above-average 436 as they swept the competition. 3 Pin Moon remains in 3rd place, while the Urban Achievers remain in 8th.
On lanes 29 & 30: Empire Strikes Back shared a few beers with The Prak Attack. With the strength of Ken M. Wilson with his above-average 616 series, the Empire split the series with the Attack. Concurrently, Joe Longstreet drew the spotlight in the Attack with his dramatic 429 as they matched their opponent in wins. Empire Strikes Back remains in 2nd place, while the Attack remains in 7th.
Finally, down on lanes 31 & 32: Bowlumpkin traded lane malfunctions with Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz. Notwithstanding the leadership of Jason Carpio with his above-average 574 series, with props to #1 Power-Ranked and Most Valuable Bowler Janelle Laube, Bowlumpkin accomplished only 1 win against the Schlitz. Countering this, Scott Murdock called the shots for the Schlitz with his above-average 538 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Bowlumpkin remains in 5th place, while the Schlitz remains in 1st.
Bowlers entering The 200 Club include: Bob Brunker (204), Carl Goetz (209,215), Jason Carpio (230), Ken M. Wilson (256), Orion Kinkaid (202), and Rob Kaszuba (208)
A new personal high game was set tonight by AJ Taylor (190, previous best 178). In addition, a new personal best series was rolled by Orion Kinkaid (518, previous best 505). Adding to the excitement, the 256 rolled by Ken M. Wilson is this season's new high game for men.
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Ken M. Wilson triumphed over his enemies in Division 1, while Chris Lewis cleaned up Division 2. Janelle (Laube) Lamar mopped up Division 3, and Orion Kinkaid routed Division 4. In terms of overall points: Ken M. Wilson tops Division 1; Brett Schroeder calls the shots Division 2; Janelle (Laube) Lamar reigns over Division 3; and Lawrence Prak leads Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 25&26, 2nd-place Empire Strikes Back will face 5th-place Bowlumpkin (hcp 137). The Empire is expected to perform well and sweep the series; while Bowlumpkin is forecast to hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Moving to lanes 27&28, 7th-place The Prak Attack (hcp 116) will tussle with 1st-place Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz. The Attack might maintain their current strength as they get swept; while the Schlitz ought to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Then, over on lanes 29&30, 4th-place Lil' Devils (hcp 128) will spend some quality time with 3rd-place 3 Pin Moon. Lil' Devils will likely maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while 3 Pin Moon will probably drop their average a bit even as they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 31&32, 6th-place No Pinheads will throw some gutter balls with 8th-place Little Lebowski Urban Achievers (hcp 138). The Pinheads are predicted to roll a little low, yet still manage to win the series; while the Urban Achievers are anticipated to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
