For Whom the Bell Tolls

Posted by Ken December 2, 2014 Fall 2014, Week 15 View Score Sheets

With the results of Week #15 recorded, the matchups in the Finals this season are all set. It's been an interesting run so far, with a number of teams bouncing all over the place throughout the past four months and a number of long-time records falling. Collectively, this season has witnessed our roster of 32 bowlers throwing the best season in our league's 15 year-history. Nearly the entire league combined to throw more 200+ games than we've ever seen and there's still one more week to keep adding to that record. All in all, it's been an impressive season. Everyone – except Scoot – should be proud.In the first matchup of the night, Dixie Stampede showed up in the 10th frame to take a narrow win over opponents The Finger Holes in Game #1...but that was their last stand. Storming back behind lead off roller Phil Schroeder's 599 series, The F-Holes took every game the rest of the night to come away with a 3-1 matchup victory. Ryan Doll's 605 series wasn't enough to bring any more wins to Dixie's record and they remain in 5th place. The F-Holes also stay put, ending their regular season in 3rd place. You want to talk about some bullies? Let me tell you about Split It & Hit It. Facing off against Ballz Out – who, sadly, has cracked the top 10 for longest losing streaks in league history – the Split It gang routed the Ballz behind Dennis Blake's 552 series, which also earned him Most Valuable Bowler honors as well. The Ballz, led this week by Cliff Barendsen's 450 series, continues to struggle to find wins and remains firmly in 8th place. Split It, with their 25-35 record, remain in 6th place and will face Dixie Stampede in the Finals with a chance to move up to 5th if they can come away with a sweep. Looking to derail powerhouse team My Three Sons, the bound and determined More Beer, Chelsea showed up with pre-bowling scores from this week's #1 Power Ranked bowler compliments of Dan Imperial but it was only good for a close Game #2 victory. Running away with a 3-1 matchup victory, The Sons storm into the Finals next week tied for the best record in the league at 41-19. Led this week by Ian Goetz and his 623 series, the guys look to repeat as league champions after all is said and done and have a damn good chance to do so. More Beer, Chelsea remains in 4th place and will face The Finger Holes but cannot move ahead of them in the league standings even if they sweep.Also looking to take this season's title are the record-smashing members of 921+. Facing off against an ever-improving Pin and Tonics, the current league leaders remain the league leaders – by total pins only – after a 663 series out of 921+'s Kody Karnes. Karnes also managed to break a long-standing record of sorts, by becoming only the second bowler in league history to throw ten consecutive 200+ games – a feat not accomplished since Don Glasscock hoisted seventeen in a row back in the Spring 2008 season. Aaron Barber's 560 series helped the Tonics to start the night off with a Game #1 victory but it was all 921+ after that. The gang's 3-1 victory pushes them into the Finals in 1st place to do battle against nemesis My Three Sons in a winner-takes-all showdown. Pin and Tonics, ending the regular season with a record of 21-39, will face off against Ballz Out and hopes to help them extend their losing streak.The Tournament of Champions is all set with the seeding sitting as follows:#1 Ryan Doll will face #8 Jake Parrott#2 Carl Goetz will face #7 Dan Imperial#3 Aubrey Moren will face #6 Michael Gordon#4 Phil Schroeder will face #5 Rob KaszubaGood luck, gentlemen!The extremely busy establishment known as The 200 Club saw some new recruits this week rubbing elbows with the regulars, including: Aaron Barber (245), Aubrey Moren (205), Brian Coe (231, 217), Carl Goetz (216, 204, 201), Dan Imperial (201), Dennis Blake (221), Ian Goetz (202, 222), John Boren (215), Jonathan Vigliaturo (233), Ken M.
