Chopping Away

Posted by Ken October 30, 2013 Fall 2013, Week 11 View Score Sheets

What a turn of events! A couple of weeks ago, the season looked to be all but over with one team aiming to clinch it very, very soon. Yet, the rest of the league refused to lay down and let it happen with quite a turn of events. Week #11 was witness to quite a performance across the board as half the league switches places in the league standings. With the Finals a little over a month away, could another team overtake the current league leaders? Only time will tell...Let's face it...the last two weeks have been a wake up call for Bowltron. Learning that they are actually going to have to bowl well in order to get any more wins this season, the team got yet another schooling – this time from unlikely upsetters Ballz Out. Led this week with one of this season's candidates for Rookie of the Season Chadwick Andrews and his 479 series (nearly 100 pins over his average), the Ballz boys took the matchup 3-1. Anchorless Bowltron was led, once again, by John Boren and his 553 series. Despite the second week of losses, Bowltron continues to hold onto 1st place but their comfortable buffer has been severed to a mere three games. Ballz Out climbs up one spot to 6th place.Things are definitely getting better all around for Split It and Hit It this season. With anchor Dennis Blake having settled into a higher average range – and leading his team this week with a 526 series – alongside a Most Valuable Bowler performance from teammate Matt Bunyard, the boys with the coolest bowling shirts in the league logged a clean sweep against Even Brunker Than Defore. The wins push Split It up into 3rd place and now sit only six games out of first place. Defore, led by Eric Lynch and his 399 series, remain in 8th place.Historically, Scott Murdock of Gutterfingers tends to bring his A-game the week of his birthday most noticeably when he single-handedly ended the longest win streak in league history. This season proved no different as Murdock, 45-pounds lighter and this week's #1 Power Ranked bowler, put up a 574 series to lead his team to a 2-2 split against reigning champs Will Strike if Provoked. Provoked's Aubrey Moren and his 587 series mounted the comeback and sealed Games #2 and #3 in the 10th frame to avoid getting swept. Both games were settled by just a few pins. Adding in the victories from the split, both teams slip one spot in the standings with Provoked falling to 4th and Gutterfingers to 7th place.Down on lanes 47 & 48, the rollers on Bewbie Dance have openly set their sights on winning the season. With all four bowlers working as a team – and all raising or maintaining their current averages – the Bewbs danced all over hapless Breaking Bad. Led by a reinvigorated Carl Goetz and his 618 series, Bewbie Dance swept their opponents clean off the lanes and advanced up to 2nd place and sit only three games out of first. With 17 titles between the four bowlers on the team (and three of them in the Hall of Fame), this could set up one hell of a race to the finish as this crew knows how to win it all. Bad's Kody Karnes put up the highest series of the night, ending with a 660, but watched as his team fell down to 5th place.The Tournament of Champions rolls on:Division 1 = Ryan Doll (22), Ken M. Wilson (18)Division 2 = Angela Bradford (23), Dennis Blake (15)Division 3 = Freda Schroeder (23), Bryan Mohr (15)Division 4 = Michael Smith (18), Chadwick Andrews (16)This week's rollers spied at The 200 Club include: Anita Osthoff (205), Aubrey Moren (212, 211), Bill Krejci (233), Carl Goetz (232, 206), Chadwick Andrews (205), Dennis Blake (201), John Boren (214), Jonathan Vigliaturo (201), Ken M.
