Holey Bowley!

Posted by Ken January 28, 2014 Spring 2014, Week 2 View Score Sheets

The ever-volatile Week #2 of Gutteralley's latest season proved to be an interesting one as every single bowler – minus those absent or setting an average – either raised of lowered their average. One bowler managed to raise his +25 while another dropped -24 in what has always been the biggest roller coaster week of each and every season. To top it off, six of the eight teams swapped spots in the league standings to cap off the evening. Here's the lowdown...The first matchup of the night pitted Pinterest against the Twerking Balls. Having apparently figured out his new bowling ball, Pinterest's Ian Goetz led the way to a clean sweep of the competition with a 592 series after a rather slow start last week. The Twerkers, who received the most fire power from lead off roller Jake Parrott and his 422 series, fall to a record of 1-7 and remain in 7th place. Pinterest, adding four notches to their win column, take over the top spot in the standings by the total pins tiebreaker (up 84 pins).Down a pair, The Finger Holes found themselves on the giving end of a rout over opponents UpgrayeDD. With professional sandbagger Phil Schroeder putting up a 536 series – and earning the Most Valuable Bowler as well as #1 Power Ranked bowler honors in the process – the F-Holes easily took a 4-0 matchup win. Rookie Bryan Bay of UpgrayeDD put up a team leading 356 series but it simply wasn't enough to earn a win. UpgrayeDD remains in 8th place while The Finger Holes climb one spot into 2nd place.If your anchor set a super high average the first week and you are facing three Hall of Famers the week immediately after that, don't plan on coming away with many victories. Just ask the men of Split It & Hit It who found themselves rubbing up against the Schwetty Balls. With anchor Bob Brunker hoisting a 542 series, Schwetty's offense proved to be just too much for Split It to contend with on Lanes 45 & 46 as the Balls took 'em 4-0. Dennis Blake's 478 series led the Splits in the losing effort. The wins improve Schwetty Balls' record to 7-1 and pop up one spot to 3rd while Split It and Hit It slips one spot into 6th place with the opposite record. The last matchup of the night saw the biggest games (and biggest meltdowns) of the night in a battle that ended in a 2-2 split. Last year's champs Bowltron welcomed Bill Krejci to the team this season to replace John Boren. Fortunately for Bowltron, Bill got down to business and lit up the lanes for a 611 to storm back after a Game #1 loss to opponents Mark It Zero. Powerhouse Kody Karnes put up an impressive 685 series to lead the entire league and helped Zero secure their two wins. With two games apiece added to the teams' wins, Mark It Zero falls three spots to 4th while Bowltron improves one to find themselves in 5th place.The Tournament of Champions has not yet begun this season. As most of you know, whatever your average is at the end of the initial three weeks of the season determines your seed. Bowlers trying to warm themselves in The 200 Club this week include: Aubrey Moren (221), Bill Krejci (222), Bob Brunker (222), Ian Goetz (213), Kody Karnes (256, 214, 215), and Phil Schroeder (211). Nominations for this season's Hall of Fame ballot are now open. Fifty-nine different bowlers from our league's past and present are eligible and ready for you to say why they are deserving to be this season's inductee. So get in there and nominate as many as you'd like.See you next Tuesday!

"Hey! Where's Bill's hole?"

Ian Goetz, referring to the hole Krejci knocked into the wall...we think.
