Eye on the Prize

Posted by Ken November 18, 2014 Fall 2014, Week 13 View Score Sheets

The Finals are less than a month away now and, with the results of Week #13, it's still almost anybody's game. Big scores and even bigger series continue to permeate the league as teams strive to add as many wins to their record before it's all said and done. Hell, three different bowlers shot a 256 tonight. So let's get down to the particulars, shall we?Try as they might, Ballz Out simply can't break out of their current rut. Facing a re-energized Dixie Stampede – led, once again, by anchor Ryan Doll who shot a 676 series – the Ballz took it on the chin as the Stampede ran away with a 4-0 matchup victory. Led by sub Matt Fitzgerald and his 443 series, Ballz falls to a 10-42 record and remains in 8th. Dixie Stampede, on the other hand, improves to 24-28 but remains in 5th place.Where oh were were the men of Split It & Hit It? The world may never know. With their competition forfeiting, it was up to the bowlers of The Finger Holes to put up games within 40 pins of their team average to come away with the victories. Led by anchor Aubrey Moren's 560 series, the team did just that – albeit with two of their team games below average. It didn't matter in the end, though, as they earned the four victories and improved to 30-22 but remain in 4th place. Split It fell one spot into 7th place with a record of 20-32.For centuries it has been well documented that the third sign of the apocalypse is whenever Scott Murdock is crowned the Most Valuable Bowler of any week of GutterAlley action. Well, beware everyone, as Murdock's team leading 540 series caused him not only to earn the accolades but also helped More Beer, Chelsea stay in the thick of things after splitting their series 2-2 against opponents Pin and Tonics. With the Tonics' Aaron Barber chucking a team leading 615 series, the teams went back and forth in their slugfest with neither team ever taking consecutive victories. Despite the split neither team moved at all in the standings with Chelsea holding onto 3rd at 32-20 and the Pin and Tonics remaining in 6th place with the opposite record of 20-32. This season, only two teams have been in first place: My Three Sons and 921+. Facing off for the second time this season, My Three Sons once again brought their A-game and derailed the dominant 921+ squad who entered the night having won 23 of their last 24 games to take the top spot atop the league standings. Once again led by Ian Goetz, who shot a 644 series, the Sons closed the gap with a 3-1 matchup win and are now tied with 921+ with records of 34-18. Only total pins separate the two teams, with 921+ still technically holding onto 1st place. Brian Coe, this week's #1 Power Ranked bowler with his league leading 704 series, continues to march toward a league record that we never thought would be broken – Don Glasscock's 219 average. We're just a few short weeks away from the Tournament of Champions and here's how it stands:Division 1 = Ryan Doll (23), Ken Wilson (15)Division 2 = Aubrey Moren (19), Jonathan Vigliaturo (19)Division 3 = Rob Kaszuba (24), Chadwick Andrews (17)Division 4 = Dan Imperial (18), Jake Parrott (16)The cold weather couldn't keep the following bowlers away from The 200 Club this week: Aaron Barber (224, 208), Aubrey Moren (220, 205), Brian Coe (212, 256, 236), Carl Goetz (203), Ian Goetz (205, 256), John Boren (266), Jonathan Vigliaturo (247), Kody Karnes (213, 224, 245), Ryan Doll (256, 234), and Seth Gunderson (200).See you next Tuesday!
