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 spent a romantic evening with King Pins. Even though highlighted by the skills of John Richardson with his stunning 499 series, Doll's Balls accomplished only 1 win against King Pins. On the other half of the score sheet, John Coleman took the lead 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 couldn't stop inappropriately groping Oily Balls. Regardless of the star power of James Cholke with his 489 series, Churn and Burn missed getting swept by Oily Balls by just one pin. On the flipside, 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 shared a platter of cheese sticks with Frickin' Ten Pin. Headlined by Stefan Miller with his 523 series, X9XX collected 3 wins against Ten Pin. As for the opposition, #1 Head-to-Head Carl Goetz shined in Ten Pin with his staggering 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. alternated splits with Those 4 Bowlers. In spite of top-billing by Steve Kiernan with his 555 series, T.B.D. accomplished only 1 win against 4 Bowlers. Simultaneously, Seth Gunderson drew the spotlight in 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 entered a showdown to the death with Unstoppabowl. Reinforced by Bill Krejci with his awe-inspiring 594 series, Guttersluts celebrated a clean sweep over Unstoppabowl. Countering this, Cory Chorpenning showed off in 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 ducking past the bouncer at 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 staked a claim for the Iron Throne in Division 2. Dave Hickerson had his way with Division 3, and Daniel Bolton made quick work of 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 leads Division 1; Seth Gunderson reigns over Division 2; Deena Slinkard tops Division 3; and Kendall Kukowski dominates Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 15&16, 7th-place Churn and Burn (hcp 38) will roll against 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 socialize 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 tussle 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 spend some quality time with 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 battle 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.
