Wilson is in the driver's seat in Division 1; Brett Schroeder reigns over Division 2; AJ Hofmann holds the reins in Division 3; and Amanda Duncan calls the shots for Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 19&20, 1st-place Sweep The Leg, Johnny will face 2nd-place No Pinheads (hcp 67). Sweep The Leg is expected to maintain their current strength as they sweep the series; while No Pinheads are forecast to drop their average a bit while endure a rough night.
- Moving to lanes 21&22, 3rd-place Quick Release will chuck some balls with 4th-place BILFs (hcp 76). Quick Release might roll a little low and lose the series but avoid getting swept; while BILFs ought to raise their average while they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 23&24, 5th-place Rollin' J's will chill with 8th-place Ebowla (hcp 365). Rollin' J's will likely roll decently and sweep the series; while Ebowla will probably see their team average take a dive while they endure a rough night.
- Next up, on lanes 25&26, 6th-place WWJB (hcp 416) will meet with 7th-place BOWLSH!T. WWJB might have the bottom drop out of their averages as they get swept; while BOWLSH!T ought to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Finally, on lanes 27&28, 9th-place Chicks With Balls (hcp 45) will test their mettle against 10th-place Split Happens. The Chicks are predicted to perform well, yet still manage to lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Split Happens are anticipated to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
