The fourteenth week of Spring 2003 saw two teams climb in the standings, while two teams slipped. Three bowlers set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (199) and series (531) for the women, while Carl Goetz earned this week's high game (260) and series (706) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 17 & 18: Canned Crabs shared a few beers with D-Day. Though reinforced by Eric Lynch with his (either injured, sick, or sandbagging) 393 series, the Crabs got swept by D-Day. On the adjacent lane, Ken M. Wilson guided D-Day with his 506 as they swept the competition. Canned Crabs plummet 2 spots in the standings to 8th place, while D-Day remains in 2nd.
On lanes 19 & 20: The Good Sons took turns kicking the ball return with Hulk Smash!. Notwithstanding the leadership of Steve Robinson with his above-average 474 series, the Sons accomplished only 1 win against the Hulk. Meanwhile, trifecta-winner (#1 Head-to-Head, #1 Power-Ranked, and Most Valuable Bowler) Carl Goetz shined in the Hulk with his outstanding 706 as his team took the series with 3 wins. The Good Sons remains in 5th place, while the Hulk jumps 2 spots to 6th.
On lanes 21 & 22: Bowlers of Mass Destruction couldn't stop undressing with their eyes the members of Spanked. Topped by Corey Weinfurt with his above-average 545 series, Mass Destruction collected 3 wins against Spanked. While that was going down, Janelle (Laube) Lamar called the shots for Spanked with her terrific 501 despite her team notching only a single win. Bowlers of Mass Destruction remains in 1st place, while Spanked remains in 7th.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: Top Guns kept stealing sips of beer from When Push Comes To Shove. Starring Pat Searcy with his 559 series, Top Guns celebrated a clean sweep over the Shovers. Concurrently, David Codding oversaw the Shovers with his below-average 492 despite his team getting swept. Top Guns leap 1 spot in the standings to 3rd place, while the Shovers sink 1 spot to 4th.
Bowlers who lied to their significant other claiming bowling was running long then went out for after-bowling drinks at The 200 Club include: Carl Goetz (256,260), Corey Weinfurt (206), and Pat Searcy (223)

Freda Schroeder claimed the season's women's high series with her 531. In addition, Carl Goetz nabbed both high game and series for the men this season with his 260 and 706, respectively.

Carl Goetz SET THE NEW ALL-TIME HIGH SERIES WITH His 706! CONGRATULATIONS!
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Pat Searcy whipped Division 1, while Freda Schroeder routed Division 2. Phil Schroeder claimed victory in Division 3, and nobody claimed victory in Division 4 (though Scott Murdock came closest). In terms of overall points: Pat Searcy tops Division 1; Ken M. Wilson calls the shots for Division 2; Steve Robinson and Phil Schroeder govern Division 3 in a tie; and Marca Robinson and Tracey Robertson lead Division 4 in a tie.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 17&18, 1st-place Bowlers of Mass Destruction (hcp 28) will chuck some balls with 3rd-place Top Guns. Mass Destruction is expected to perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Top Guns are forecast to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Moving to lanes 19&20, 4th-place When Push Comes To Shove will battle 7th-place Spanked (hcp 12). The Shovers might maintain their current strength as they and split the series with Spanked; while Spanked ought to hold steady as they keep the series tied.
- Then, over on lanes 21&22, 5th-place The Good Sons (hcp 96) will hang out with 2nd-place D-Day. The Sons will likely roll decently, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while D-Day will probably hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 23&24, 8th-place Canned Crabs (hcp 56) will challenge 6th-place Hulk Smash!. The Crabs are predicted to maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Hulk is anticipated to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
