The Fall 2004 season is now underway, with eight teams entering the 16-week competition for the coveted, nonexistent championship trophy. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Angela Bradford picked up this week's high game (168) and series (469) for the women, while Justin Strelow earned this week's high game (233) and series (609) for the men. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 19 & 20: Bowlkake accepted a challenge by The Belt Strikes Back. With the strength of #1 Power-Ranked Justin Strelow and his powerful 609 series, Bowlkake split the series with the Belt. Countering this, Nik Domann called the shots for the Belt with his 490 as they matched their opponent in wins. Bowlkake begins with 4th place, while the Belt begins in 5th.
On lanes 21 & 22: A Solid No. 2 faced off against Recreation Intoxication. Reinforced by Corey Weinfurt with his 533 series, No. 2 collected 3 wins against Recreation . In the meantime, Pat Searcy took the lead in Recreation with his (either injured, sick, or sandbagging) 483 despite his team notching only a single win. A Solid No. 2 begins the season in 2nd place, while Recreation commences the season with 6th.
On lanes 23 & 24: Paul Hamms had some one-on-one time with Die Schlag-Maschinen. Demonstrating the prowess of #1 Head-to-Head Bill Krejci and his 530 series, the Hamms collected 3 wins against Die Schlag-Maschinen. Conversely, Amanda Schulte reigned supreme in Die Schlag-Maschinen with her 356 despite her team notching only a single win. Paul Hamms leaves the gate in 3rd place, while Die Schlag-Maschinen starts off with 7th.
Finally, down on lanes 25 & 26: Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers couldn't stop undressing with their eyes the members of Ashley Razabacks. Topped by Dennis Laube with his 476 series, the Ninjas celebrated a clean sweep over the Razabacks. . With the Razabacks forfeiting, all the Ninjas needed to do was roll within 40 pins of their combined team average each game. Mission accomplished. Real Ultimate Ninja Bowlers gets underway in 1st place, while the Razabacks get going with 8th.
Bowlers getting the VIP treatment in The 200 Club include: James Long (211) and Justin Strelow (206,233)
