The fourteenth week of Spring 2007 saw one team climb in the standings, while one team slipped. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (182) and series (517) for the women. As for the men, Kendall Kukowski snagged this week's high game with a 236, and high series was earned by John Boren with a 588. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 15 & 16: Doll's Balls traded lane malfunctions with Unstoppabowl. Although blessed by #1 Head-to-Head John Richardson and his above-average 526 series, Doll's Balls accomplished only 1 win against Unstoppabowl. Meanwhile, Kendall Kukowski showed off in Unstoppabowl with his fantastic 528 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Doll's Balls plummet 2 spots in the standings to 9th place, while Unstoppabowl remains in 4th.
On lanes 17 & 18: T.B.D. had some one-on-one time with Frickin' Ten Pin. Regardless of the star power of Steve Kiernan with his 534 series, T.B.D. accomplished only 1 win against Ten Pin. On the other side, Carl Goetz mastered Ten Pin with his 574 as his team took the series with 3 wins. T.B.D. remains in 10th place, while Ten Pin jumps 2 spots to 7th.
On lanes 19 & 20: Oily Balls spent a romantic evening with King Pins. Demonstrating the prowess of Ken M. Wilson with his 541 series, with a nod to #1 Power-Ranked Deena Slinkard, Oily Balls collected 3 wins against King Pins. On the other half of the score sheet, Duncan Ferber ruled King Pins with his 545 despite his team notching only a single win. Oily Balls remains in 2nd place, while King Pins remain in 6th.
On lanes 21 & 22: Guttersluts hung out with Those 4 Bowlers. Topped by John Boren with his above-average 588 series, Guttersluts collected 3 wins against 4 Bowlers. In the midst of this, Seth Gunderson reigned supreme in 4 Bowlers with his below-average 494 despite his team notching only a single win. Guttersluts remains in 1st place, while 4 Bowlers remain in 5th.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: X9XX took turns kicking the ball return with Churn and Burn. With top billing by Stefan Miller with his 524 series, X9XX split the series with Churn and Burn. Simultaneously, James Cholke took the lead in Churn and Burn with his above-average 510 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Jamie Gibson) as they matched their opponent in wins. X9XX remains in 3rd place, while Churn and Burn remains in 8th.
Bowlers rolling into The 200 Club include: Carl Goetz (221), Duncan Ferber (212), John Boren (200,220), Ken M. Wilson (203), Kendall Kukowski (236), Phil Schroeder (207), and Steve Kiernan (201)
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: John Boren had his way with Division 1, while nobody claimed victory in Division 2 (though James Cholke came closest). John Richardson spanked Division 3, and Shaun Crockett claimed victory in Division 4. And, finally, nobody claimed victory in the Interdivisional bracket (though Ken M. Wilson (Division ) came closest). In terms of overall points: John Boren governs Division 1; Seth Gunderson tops Division 2; John Richardson holds the reins in Division 3; and Kendall Kukowski runs the show in Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 15&16, 10th-place T.B.D. (hcp 119) will throw some gutter balls with 3rd-place X9XX. T.B.D. is expected to maintain their current strength as they get swept; while X9XX is forecast to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Moving to lanes 17&18, 6th-place King Pins (hcp 68) will challenge 4th-place Unstoppabowl. King Pins might maintain their current strength as they just barely miss getting swept; while Unstoppabowl ought to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 19&20, 1st-place Guttersluts (hcp 8) will roll against 7th-place Frickin' Ten Pin. Guttersluts will likely have a bit of an off night and get swept; while Ten Pin will probably hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Next up, on lanes 21&22, 9th-place Doll's Balls (hcp 8) will socialize with 8th-place Churn and Burn. Doll's Balls might maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Churn and Burn ought to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 23&24, 2nd-place Oily Balls will spend some quality time with 5th-place Those 4 Bowlers (hcp 73). Oily Balls are predicted to maintain their current strength as they and split the series with 4 Bowlers; while 4 Bowlers are anticipated to raise their average while they keep the series tied.
