The Spring 2002 season is now underway, with four teams entering the 11-week competition for the coveted, nonexistent championship trophy. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (162) and series (418) for the women, while Pat Searcy earned this week's high game (194) and series (493) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!

First up, on lanes 1 & 2: Fab Four waged a heated competition against Team 2. With the strength of #1 Power-Ranked Dennis Laube and his 471 series, Fab Four collected 3 wins against Team 2. On the adjacent lane, Angela Bradford reigned supreme in Team 2 with her 418 despite her team notching only a single win. Fab Four begins the season in 2nd place, while Team 2 starts off with 4th.

Finally, down on lanes 3 & 4: Team 3 spent a romantic evening with Top Guns. Though featuring Bill Krejci with his astounding 488 series, with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler No one, Team 3 accomplished only 1 win against Top Guns. Meanwhile, Pat Searcy drew the spotlight in Top Guns with his 493 (with props to #1 Head-to-Head bowler ) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Team 3 gets underway in 3rd place, while Top Guns get rolling in 1st.

Bowlers enjoying a guest admission to The 200 Club include: No one at all. We sucked.

A new personal high game was set tonight by Bill Krejci (189, previous best 178). In addition, a new personal best series was rolled by Bill Krejci (488, previous best 440).

NEXT WEEK:

• First, on lanes 1&2, 3rd-place Team 3 will challenge 2nd-place Fab Four. Team 3 is expected to drop their averages like a brick, but split the series with Fab Four; while Fab Four is forecast to see their team average take a dive while they keep the series tied.
• Finally, on lanes 3&4, 1st-place Top Guns will chill with 4th-place Team 2. Top Guns are predicted to watch their averages take a plunge, but split the series with Team 2; while Team 2 is anticipated to see their team average take a dive while they keep the series tied.
