A stagnated eighth week of Spring 2002 resulted in absolutely no movement in the standings. Janelle (Laube) Lamar picked up this week's high game (156) and series (428) for the women. As for the men, Pat Searcy snagged this week's high game with a 210, and high series was earned by Ken M. Wilson with a 564. Read on for all the rest of the details!

First up, on lanes 1 & 2: Team 2 kept stealing sips of beer from Fab Four. Despite being led by Jeff Gragg with his above-average 493 series, Team 2 accomplished only 1 win against Fab Four. On the other side, #1 Power Ranked and #1 Head-to-Head Ken M. Wilson shined in Fab Four with his above-average 564 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Team 2 remains in 3rd place, while Fab Four remains in 2nd.

Finally, down on lanes 3 & 4: Top Guns had a rendezvous with Team 3. Even though highlighted by the skills of Pat Searcy with his 557 series, Top Guns accomplished only 1 win against Team 3. Simultaneously, Scott Murdock dominated Team 3 with his 366 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Tracey Robertson) as his team took the series with 3 wins. Top Guns remains in 1st place, while Team 3 remains in 4th.
