The Fall 2002 position round is now history, and and the championship will be on us before we know it! A stagnated sixth week resulted in absolutely no movement in the standings. Two bowlers set a new personal best series. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (149) and series (438) for the women, while Pat Searcy earned this week's high game (233) and series (617) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!

First up, on lanes 17 & 18: Pop Gunns waged a heated competition against UnaBowlers. Reinforced by Carl Goetz with his 517 series, Pop Gunns celebrated a clean sweep over the UnaBowlers. On the other half of the score sheet, Justin Strelow commanded the UnaBowlers with his 451 despite his team getting swept. Pop Gunns remains in 3rd place, while the UnaBowlers remain in 4th.

On lanes 19 & 20: GRRR sparred with Team 5. Notwithstanding the leadership of #1 Power-Ranked Scott Murdock and his amazing 465 series, GRRR accomplished only 1 win against Team 5. Simultaneously, David Codding laid down the law in Team 5 with his above-average 503 as his team took the series with 3 wins. GRRR remains in 6th place, while Team 5 remains in 1st.

Finally, down on lanes 21 & 22: Top Guns chucked gutter balls with Team 6. Featuring #1 Head-to-Head Pat Searcy and his astonishing 617 series, Top Guns split the series with Team 6. While that was going down, Most Valuable Bowler Nik Domann ruled Team 6 with his marvelous 450 as they matched their opponent in wins. Top Guns remains in 2nd place, while Team 6 remains in 5th.
