The eleventh week of Spring 2010 saw one team climb in the standings, while one team slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (192) and series (530) for the women, while Ken M. Wilson earned this week's high game (256) and series (616) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 25 & 26: Lil' Devils waged a heated competition against No Pinheads. Demonstrating the prowess of Most Valuable Bowler Janelle (Laube) Lamar and her dazzling 500 series, Lil' Devils celebrated a clean sweep over the Pinheads. Conversely, Freda Schroeder laid down the law in the Pinheads with her 494 despite her team getting swept. Lil' Devils leap 2 spots in the standings to 4th place, while the Pinheads plunge 2 spots to 6th.
On lanes 27 & 28: 3 Pin Moon spent some quality time with Little Lebowski Urban Achievers. Despite being led by Rob Kaszuba with his 475 series, 3 Pin Moon got swept by the Urban Achievers. On the adjacent lane, Jim Flath oversaw the Urban Achievers with his above-average 436 as they swept the competition. 3 Pin Moon remains in 3rd place, while the Urban Achievers remain in 8th.
On lanes 29 & 30: Empire Strikes Back took turns kicking the ball return with The Prak Attack. Starring Ken M. Wilson with his above-average 616 series, the Empire split the series with the Attack. While that was going down, Joe Longstreet drew the spotlight in the Attack with his exceptional 429 as they matched their opponent in wins. Empire Strikes Back remains in 2nd place, while the Attack remains in 7th.
Finally, down on lanes 31 & 32: Bowlumpkin celebrated their love of large, heavy balls with Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz. In spite of top-billing by Jason Carpio with his above-average 574 series, with props to #1 Power-Ranked and Most Valuable Bowler Janelle Laube, Bowlumpkin accomplished only 1 win against the Schlitz. Across the ball return, Scott Murdock guided the Schlitz with his above-average 538 as his team took the series with 3 wins. Bowlumpkin remains in 5th place, while the Schlitz remains in 1st.
Bowlers slipping into The 200 Club include: Bob Brunker (204), Carl Goetz (209,215), Jason Carpio (230), Ken M. Wilson (256), Orion Kinkaid (202), and Rob Kaszuba (208)

Adding to the excitement, the 256 rolled by Ken M. Wilson is this season's new high game for men.
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Ken M. Wilson creamed Division 1, while Chris Lewis triumphed over his enemies in Division 2. Janelle (Laube) Lamar creamed Division 3, and Orion Kinkaid trounced Division 4. In terms of overall points: Ken M. Wilson reigns over Division 1; Brett Schroeder leads Division 2; Janelle (Laube) Lamar holds the reins in Division 3; and Lawrence Prak dominates Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 25&26, 2nd-place Empire Strikes Back will face 5th-place Bowlumpkin (hcp 137). The Empire is expected to perform well and sweep the series; while Bowlumpkin is forecast to hold steady as they endure a rough night.
- Moving to lanes 27&28, 7th-place The Prak Attack (hcp 116) will chill with 1st-place Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz. The Attack might maintain their current strength as they get swept; while the Schlitz ought to hold steady as they rack up a sweep.
- Then, over on lanes 29&30, 4th-place Lil' Devils (hcp 128) will meet with 3rd-place 3 Pin Moon. Lil' Devils will likely maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while 3 Pin Moon will probably drop their average a bit even as they enjoy their victories.
- Finally, on lanes 31&32, 6th-place No Pinheads will tussle with 8th-place Little Lebowski Urban Achievers (hcp 138). The Pinheads are predicted to roll a little low, yet still manage to win the series; while the Urban Achievers are anticipated to hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
