By now every team has bowled each other once, so next week is the Spring 2003 position round. But enough about next week, you came here to read about this week. The seventh week saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. Six bowlers set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (197) and series (529) for the women, while David Codding earned this week's high game (214) and series (605) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 17 & 18: Canned Crabs entered a showdown to the death with Hulk Smash!. Blessed by Eric Lynch with his below-average 440 series, the Crabs collected 3 wins against the Hulk. On the adjacent lane, Carl Goetz shined in the Hulk with his 528 despite his team notching only a single win. Canned Crabs leap 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while the Hulk sinks 1 spot to 7th.
On lanes 19 & 20: The Good Sons had a delightful time with D-Day. Although topped by Marca Robinson with her dazzling 406 series, the Sons got swept by D-Day. Across the ball return, Ken M. Wilson took the lead in D-Day with his below-average 483 (benefitted greatly by real star — trifecta-winner #1 Power-Ranked, #1 Head-to-Head, and Most Valuable Bowler Scott Murdock) as they swept the competition. The Good Sons remains in 4th place, while D-Day moves 1 spot to 1st.
On lanes 21 & 22: Bowlers of Mass Destruction matched wits with Top Guns. Led by Jarrod Guthrie with his remarkable 527 series, Mass Destruction collected 3 wins against Top Guns. While that was going down, Bob Brunker ruled Top Guns with his 534 despite his team notching only a single win. Bowlers of Mass Destruction remains in 3rd place, while Top Guns sink 1 spot to 2nd.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: When Push Comes To Shove tussled with Spanked. With the strength of David Codding with his above-average 605 series, the Shovers celebrated a clean sweep over Spanked. Simultaneously, Bill Krejci showed off in Spanked with his 503 despite his team getting swept. When Push Comes To Shove remains in 5th place, while Spanked remains in 8th.
