We are now halfway through the Spring 2007 season, so time is running out for those teams who want a shot at the championship to position themselves. The eighth week saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (191) and series (503) for the women, while Carl Goetz earned this week's high game (242) and series (660) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 15 & 16: Doll's Balls waged a heated competition against King Pins. Although blessed by John Richardson with his astounding 499 series, Doll's Balls accomplished only 1 win against King Pins. On the other half of the score sheet, John Coleman showed off in King Pins with his 570 (along with kudos to #1 Power-Ranked and Most Valuable Bowler Daniel Bolton, as well as #1 Head-to-Head ) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Doll's Balls remains in 8th place, while King Pins remain in 10th.
On lanes 17 & 18: Churn and Burn accepted a challenge by Oily Balls. Even though highlighted by the skills of James Cholke with his 489 series, Churn and Burn missed getting swept by Oily Balls by just one pin. On the adjacent lane, Pat Searcy ruled Oily Balls with his 590 as his team took the series with 3.5 wins. Churn and Burn drops 1 spot in the standings to 7th place, while Oily Balls remain in 1st.
On lanes 19 & 20: X9XX celebrated their love of large, heavy balls with Frickin' Ten Pin. Featuring Stefan Miller with his 523 series, X9XX collected 3 wins against Ten Pin. Meanwhile, #1 Head-to-Head Carl Goetz reigned supreme in Ten Pin with his dramatic 660 despite his team notching only a single win. X9XX remains in 4th place, while Ten Pin moves 1 spot to 6th.
On lanes 21 & 22: T.B.D. deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Those 4 Bowlers. Despite the strength of Steve Kiernan with his 555 series, T.B.D. accomplished only 1 win against 4 Bowlers. As for the opposition, Seth Gunderson commanded 4 Bowlers with his above-average 566 as his team took the series with 3 wins. T.B.D. remains in 9th place, while 4 Bowlers remain in 5th.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: Guttersluts faced off against Unstoppabowl. Headlined by Bill Krejci with his astonishing 594 series, Guttersluts celebrated a clean sweep over Unstoppabowl. On the other side, Cory Chorpenning oversaw Unstoppabowl with his below-average 500 despite his team getting swept. Guttersluts leap 1 spot in the standings to 2nd place, while Unstoppabowl sinks 1 spot to 3rd.
Bowlers getting the VIP treatment in The 200 Club include: Bill Krejci (221,204), Carl Goetz (242,218,200), John Boren (213), John Coleman (213), and Pat Searcy (212,216)
A new personal best series was rolled tonight by Dave Hickerson (514, previous best 499).
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Carl Goetz creamed Division 1, while Seth Gunderson whipped Division 2. Dave Hickerson ruled Division 3, and Daniel Bolton routed Division 4. And, finally, nobody claimed victory in the Interdivisional bracket, and in fact we aren't even going to talk about this bracket as it was a complete embarassment. In terms of overall points: Pat Searcy reigns over Division 1; Seth Gunderson holds the reins in Division 2; Deena Slinkard runs the show in Division 3; and Kendall Kukowski is in the driver's seat in Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 15&16, 7th-place Churn and Burn (hcp 38) will chuck some balls with 6th-place Frickin' Ten Pin. Churn and Burn is expected to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while Ten Pin is forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 17&18, 9th-place T.B.D. (hcp 55) will hang out with 3rd-place Unstoppabowl. T.B.D. might roll a little low and get swept; while Unstoppabowl ought to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Then, over on lanes 19&20, 10th-place King Pins (hcp 56) will socialize with 5th-place Those 4 Bowlers. King Pins will likely maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while 4 Bowlers will probably raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Next up, on lanes 21&22, 1st-place Oily Balls will face 2nd-place Guttersluts (hcp 54). Oily Balls might perform well and sweep the series; while Guttersluts ought to drop their average a bit while they endure a rough night.
- Finally, on lanes 23&24, 8th-place Doll's Balls (hcp 28) will challenge 4th-place X9XX. Doll's Balls are predicted to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while X9XX is anticipated to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
