The Fall 2005 season draws to a close, with Same Belt, New Notch officially earning this season's championship title! A stagnated final week resulted in absolutely no movement in the standings. One bowler set a new personal best series. Janelle (Laube) Lamar landed this week's high game for the women with a 169, and women's high series was bagged by Freda Schroeder with a 436. As for the men, Carl Goetz earned this week's high game (235) and series (668). Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 21 & 22: Same Belt, New Notch took turns kicking the ball return with Bora Bora!. Headlined by trifecta-winner (#1 Head-to-Head, #1 Power-Ranked, and Most Valuable Bowler) Carl Goetz and his astonishing 668 series, the Belt collected 3 wins against Bora Bora!. Countering this, John Richardson oversaw Bora Bora! with his marvelous 531 despite his team notching only a single win. Same Belt, New Notch finish in 1st place, while Bora Bora! cross the finish line in 2nd.
On lanes 23 & 24: Tatonka deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Three Men and a Babe. Even though highlighted by the skills of Will Jeter with his above-average 501 series, Tatonka accomplished only 1 win against Three Men and a Babe. Meanwhile, David Codding shined in Three Men and a Babe with his 575 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Tatonka complete in 3rd place, while Three Men and a Babe end up with 4th.
On lanes 25 & 26: Derka, Derka entered a showdown to the death with The Big LeBowlskies. Blessed by Thomas Lin with his stunning 617 series, Derka, Derka collected 3 wins against The Big LeBowlskies. On the other side, Michael Basham dominated The Big LeBowlskies with his stupendous 584 despite his team notching only a single win. Derka, Derka end the season in 5th place, while The Big LeBowlskies wind up in 6th.
Finally, down on lanes 27 & 28: Harry Potter and the Magic Balls couldn't stop inappropriately groping Munson'd. With Harry Potter forfeiting, all Munson'd needed to do was roll within 40 pins of their combined team average each game. However, that would not be the case. . But Munson'd also forfeited, making this entire matchup a waste of time to have written about. Harry Potter and the Magic Balls close out in 7th place, while Munson'd go home with 8th.
