It’s All Over

Posted by Ken December 4, 2013 Fall 2013, Week 16 View Score Sheets

With the members of Bowltron having wrapped up the championship last week, the Fall 2013 Finals were nothing more than a formality with the remaining teams jockeying for a better spot in the standings just for the hell of it. In the end, not a single team managed to move at all as Week #16 action came to a close. And while it may sound like nothing actually went down, you'd be wrong...In what had been shaping up to be one of the best Finals showdowns we've seen in quite a while as Bewbie Dance had used its second half to make the most serious run at catching eventual champions – and recipients of the newly christened Ken M. Wilson Championship Trophy – Bowltron, ended up being nothing more than the two teams meeting up to fight for pride instead. Game #1 went Bowltron's way while Game #2 landed in Bewbie's lap. Game #3 came down to a battle of the anchors with the Bewb's Carl Goetz showing why the Defensive Bowler of the Season is named after him after securing a ten pin victory in the clutch and ending with a team leading 620 series. Total pins went to the short-handed Bowltron, this week surprisingly led by anchor Ryan Doll and his 607 series. Bowltron ended their season with several accolades including becoming the second best team of all time, came in at 13th on the best records of all time and, for you purists, also had the most charity wins this season which most of us already knew. Bewbie Dance finishes their second in second place.Down on lanes 43 & 44, the big surprise of the season finished their best season ever as the men of Split It and Hit It – who put together their best all around effort since joining the league last Fall – took it to last year's champs Will Strike if Provoked to come away with a 3-1 matchup victory. Led by this season's most obvious candidate for People's Choice - Most Valuable Bowler Dennis Blake and his 559 series, Split It bounced back after dropping Game #1 to Will Strike to take the rest of the evening and refused to relinquish their 3rd place spot in the standings. Aubrey Moren matched Blake's 559 series but could only secure the one victory for Will Strike if Provoked, who ends their season in 4th place. When you go in to cast your ballot for the Rookie of the Season, you are absolutely kidding yourself if you do not give your first place votes to Chadwick Andrews. For the second week in a row – something NEVER done in the 28 seasons of GutterAlley action – Chadwick came away with not only Most Valuable Bowler honors but was the #1 Power Ranked bowler again. To top it off, he also won the Tournament of Champions besting 2nd place finisher Doll SCRATCH. Simply put, Tuesday belonged almost entirely to Andrews. Putting up both his career high game (213) as well as series (556), Chadwick led Ballz Out in a 2-2 split with this session's laughing stocks, Breaking Bad. With Kody Karnes and his 638 series leading the way, Bad ended its pathetic season going out with a whimper and holding onto 6th place. Ballz Out finished in 5th place.On the last pair of lanes, the bowlers of Gutterfingers decided to do what most everyone else did all season long and bully the 8th place Even Brunker Than Defore team. Led barely by Hall of Famer Scott "Scooter J" Murdock and his 468 series, the Fingers ended their run with a 3-1 matchup victory and finishing in 7th place. Eric Lynch of Defore also put up a 468 series but could only find one win on the night, taking Game #2 to avoid being swept. Even Brunker Than Defore remained in 8th place.As stated earlier, this season's Tournament of Champions winner was Chadwick Andrews whose big night came just at the right time to take the tournament. Ryan Doll finished in second.Bowlers ending their season with a trip to The 200 Club include: Aubrey Moren (216), Carl Goetz (229, 200), Chadwick Andrews (213), Dennis Blake (223), John Boren (227), Ken M. Wilson (203, 234), Kody Karnes (267), and Ryan Doll (213, 200).Next week is our league's traditional Fun Night, an evening of 9-pin tap bowling (knock down nine pins and it counts as a strike) that starts off with our awards ceremony and prize money disbursement. Winners of the individual achievements that net additional money in their prize envelopes this season include:Women:Angela Bradford Women's High Series Scratch = Angela Bradford (572)Freda Schroeder Women's High Game Scratch = Anita Osthoff (210)Women's High Series Handicap = Freda Schroeder (687)Women's High Game Handicap = Sarah Lynch (206)Men:Don Glasscock Men's High Series Scratch = Ryan Doll (697)David Codding Men's High Game Scratch = Kody Karnes (267)Men's High Series Handicap = Chadwick Andrews (719)Men's High Game Handicap = Dennis Blake (273)Voting for the Season's Favorites is now open and will close at noon next Tuesday (the 10th) so get in there and cast your ballot!
