A stagnated fifteenth week of Spring 2005 resulted in absolutely no movement in the standings. One bowler roll a new personal best game. Freda Schroeder landed this week's high game for the women with a 158, and women's high series was bagged by Angela Bradford with a 464. As for the men, Pat Searcy earned this week's high game (223) and series (580).Meanwhile, Tournament of Champions is officially down to its final eight bowlers, who will face each other next week competing for two cash prizes! Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Big Pin Pin celebrated their love of large, heavy balls with Nellielocks and the 3 Spares. With Pin Pin forfeiting, all Nellielocks needed to do was roll within 40 pins of their combined team average each game. However, that would not be the case. In their battle to get within at least 40 pins of average, Rich DeYoung drew the spotlight in Nellielocks with his above-average 525 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Big Pin Pin remains in 8th place, while Nellielocks remain in 4th.
On lanes 21 & 22: 4 Play shared a platter of cheese sticks with Handicrappers. Led by Pat Searcy with his 580 series, 4 Play collected 3 wins against Handicrappers. In the meantime, Kris Hiestand, Ashley Razak commanded Handicrappers with their 390 despite their team notching only a single win. 4 Play remains in 2nd place, while Handicrappers remain in 5th.
On lanes 23 & 24: The Incredibowls spent some quality time with All Belt, No Buckle. Even though highlighted by the skills of Carl Goetz with his below-average 498 series, The Incredibowls got swept by the Belt. On the other half of the score sheet, Seth Gunderson oversaw the Belt with his above-average 515 (benefitted greatly by real star — trifecta-winner #1 Power-Ranked, #1 Head-to-Head, and Most Valuable Bowler Scott Murdock) as they swept the competition. The Incredibowls remains in 6th place, while the Belt remains in 1st.
Finally, down on lanes 25 & 26: Bowlingstar Galactica shared a few beers with Sub Parre. Starring Jason Carpio with his above-average 542 series, the Galactica split the series with Sub Parre. Across the ball return, Andy Metzler called the shots for Sub Parre with his above-average 500 as they matched their opponent in wins. Bowlingstar Galactica remains in 7th place, while Sub Parre remains in 3rd.
