Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (200) and series (511) for the women, while Ken M. Wilson earned this week's high game (225) and series (652) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: A Solid No. 2 deliberately ate cheese sticks in front of Ashley Razabacks.

In the midst of this, Rich DeYoung mastered the Razabacks with his miraculous 532 as they matched their opponent in wins. A Solid No. 2 remains in 5th place, while the Razabacks sink 1 spot to 4th.
On lanes 21 & 22: Paul Hamms alternated splits with The Belt Strikes Back. Notwithstanding the leadership of Bill Krejci with his 569 series, the Hamms got swept by the Belt. On the other side, Most Valuable Bowler Demond Robinson showed off in the Belt with his above-average 600 as they swept the competition. Paul Hamms drop 1 spot in the standings to 7th place, while the Belt remains in 1st.
On lanes 23 & 24: Recreation Intoxication had some one-on-one time with Die Schlag-Maschinen. Led by Pat Searcy with his 540 series, Recreation split the series with Die Schlag-Maschinen. Concurrently, Jerry Krall ruled Die Schlag-Maschinen with his 410 as they matched their opponent in wins. Recreation Intoxication remains in 2nd place, while Die Schlag-Maschinen remains in 8th.
Finally, down on lanes 25 & 26: Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers accepted a challenge by Bowlkake. Headlined by #1 Power-Ranked Dennis Laube and his thrilling 602 series, the Ninjas collected 3 wins against Bowlkake. On the flipside, #1 Head-to-Head Ken M. Wilson commanded Bowlkake with his fantastic 652 despite his team notching only a single win. Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers leap 4 spots in the standings to 3rd place, while Bowlkake plunges 2 spots to 6th.

Nobody claimed victory in Division 3 (though Amanda Schulte came closest), and nobody claimed victory in Division 4 (though Chad Green came closest). In terms of overall points: Dennis Laube is in the driver's seat in Division 1; Jason Carpio calls the shots for Division 2; Janelle (Laube) Lamar leads Division 3; and Ray Haynes governs Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 2nd-place Recreation Intoxication (hcp 50) will compete against 6th-place Bowlkake. Recreation is expected to roll a little low and get swept; while Bowlkake is forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 8th-place Die Schlag-Maschinen (hcp 68) will test their mettle against 3rd-place Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers. Die Schlag-Maschinen might perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while the Ninjas ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 4th-place Ashley Razabacks will chuck some balls with 7th-place Paul Hamms (hcp 2). The Razabacks will likely maintain their current strength as they win the series; while the Hamms will probably drop their average a bit while avoid getting swept.
