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 traded lane malfunctions with No Pinheads. Showcasing Most Valuable Bowler Janelle (Laube) Lamar and her spectacular 500 series, Lil' Devils celebrated a clean sweep over the Pinheads. Across the ball return, Freda Schroeder called the shots for 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 sparred with Little Lebowski Urban Achievers. Although topped by Rob Kaszuba with his 475 series, 3 Pin Moon got swept by the Urban Achievers. On the other half of the score sheet, Jim Flath commanded 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 couldn't stop inappropriately groping The Prak Attack. With the strength of Ken M. Wilson with his above-average 616 series, the Empire split the series with the Attack. Simultaneously, Joe Longstreet ruled the Attack with his staggering 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 had some one-on-one time with Scoot Gave Us The Schlitz. Even though highlighted by the skills of 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. As for the opposition, Scott Murdock oversaw 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.

Wilson reigns over Division 1; Brett Schroeder calls the shots for Division 2; Janelle (Laube) Lamar leads Division 3; and Lawrence Prak runs the show in Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 25&26, 2nd-place Empire Strikes Back will tussle with 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 roll against 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 battle 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 socialize 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.
