As we point out every season, Week #2 is always the most volatile of any given session. Not to disappoint, seven of the league's eight teams swapped places in the league standings in the second week shuffle. Average were all over the place with one person raising his 27 while another person dropped theirs 17. If anyone could accurately predict what was going to happen in Week #2 each season we'd hire them on the spot to forecast all kinds of things.After a slow start last week, former champions Dixie Stampede looked to bounce back against opponents More Beer, Chelsea. Things didn't quite work out their way as Chelsea's Eric Lynch put up a 485 series to lead his team to a 3-1 matchup victory and propelled the team into 2nd place. Ryan Doll, putting up the highest series for Dixie, led the way in the losing effort with his 583 and find themselves in 7th place.On lanes 43 & 44, Matt Bunyard of Split It & Hit It put on a clinic against 921+. Throwing his new personal best in Game #2, he followed it up with an even better personal best – narrowly missing his first 200 game with his 198 – to trounce the competition with his all-time high series of 543 and raising his average 27 pins. Split It moved up one spot into 6th place. 921+, led once again by Kody Karnes this week with his 599 series, fall two spots into 3rd place. Bunyard was easily this week's #1 Power Ranked bowler. After sandbagging didn't pay off last week, Phil Schroeder of The Finger Holes decided to roll for real against Pin and Tonics and added 3-1 to their record. His team leading 535 series warranted Most Valuable Bowler honors and pushed his team up two spots into 4th place. Pin and Tonics, led this week by Aaron Barber's 545 series, remain in 8th place.The final matchup of the night pitted reigning champs My Three Sons against Ballz Out in the loudest battle across all 48 lanes. After narrowly dropping Game #1, the Sons stormed back thanks to Carl Goetz and his 588 series to walk away with a 3-1 win and now sit atop the standings in 1st place. Ballz Out, led by Cliff Barendsen's 535 series, roll one spot down into 5th place.The Tournament of Champions is starting to take shape but won't officially seed people until the end of next week.Bowlers holding the door for Bunyard but not quite letting him enter the The 200 Club include: Brian Coe (254), Carl Goetz (203), Cliff Barendsen (200), Ian Goetz (238), John Boren (221), Ken M. Wilson (201), Kody Karnes (235), and Ryan Doll (215, 204). See you next Tuesday!
