The Spring 2003 position round is now history, and and the championship will be on us before we know it! The eighth week saw three teams climb in the standings, while three teams slipped. One bowler set a new personal best series, and one rolled new personal high game. Freda Schroeder picked up this week's high game (177) and series (482) for the women. As for the men, Carl Goetz and Pat Searcy both tied for this week's high game with a 223, and high series was earned by Carl Goetz with a 611. Read on for all the rest of the details!
First up, on lanes 17 & 18: D-Day took turns kicking the ball return with Top Guns. Regardless of the star power of Ken M. Wilson with his 518 series, with a nod to #1 Power-Ranked Scott Murdock, D-Day accomplished only 1 win against Top Guns. On the adjacent lane, #1 Head-to-Head Pat Searcy ruled Top Guns with his above-average 599 (with kudos to Most Valuable Bowler Phil Schroeder) as his team took the series with 3 wins. D-Day plummets 2 spots in the standings to 3rd place, while Top Guns remain in 2nd.
On lanes 19 & 20: Bowlers of Mass Destruction shared a platter of cheese sticks with The Good Sons. Demonstrating the prowess of Corey Weinfurt with his above-average 522 series, Mass Destruction celebrated a clean sweep over the Sons. Simultaneously, Michelle Tollefson dominated the Sons with her above-average 394 despite her team getting swept. Bowlers of Mass Destruction leaps 2 spots in the standings to 1st place, while the Sons sink 1 spot to 5th.
On lanes 21 & 22: When Push Comes To Shove had a rendezvous with Canned Crabs. Showcasing David Codding with his 568 series, the Shovers collected 3 wins against the Crabs. Conversely, Eric Lynch reigned supreme in the Crabs with his 506 despite his team notching only a single win. When Push Comes To Shove leaps 1 spot in the standings to 4th place, while the Crabs sink 1 spot to 7th.
Finally, down on lanes 23 & 24: Hulk Smash! kept grabbing the balls of Spanked. With the strength of Carl Goetz with his above-average 611 series, the Hulk collected 3 wins against Spanked. While that was going down, Thomas Lin mastered Spanked with his 499 despite his team notching only a single win. Hulk Smash! leaps 1 spot in the standings to 6th place, while Spanked remains in 8th.
Bowlers bribing their way into The 200 Club include: Carl Goetz (223,214), Pat Searcy (207,223), and Thomas Lin (205)
A new personal high game was set tonight by Shannon Myers (157, previous best 155). In addition, a new personal best series was rolled by Scott Murdock (479, previous best 474). The 611 rolled by Carl Goetz is tied for the 4th-best series in league history!
In this week's Tournament of Champions brackets: Pat Searcy walloped Division 1, while Ken M. Wilson cleaned up Division 2. Nobody claimed victory in Division 3 (though Phil Schroeder came closest), and nobody claimed victory in Division 4 (though Marca Robinson came closest). In terms of overall points: Carl Goetz and Pat Searcy run the show in Division 1 in a tie; Ken M. Wilson governs Division 2; Phil Schroeder calls the shots for Division 3; and Marca Robinson leads Division 4.
NEXT WEEK:
- First, on lanes 17&18, 8th-place Spanked will throw some gutter balls with 5th-place The Good Sons (hcp 104). Spanked is expected to maintain their current strength as they just barely miss sweeping the series; while the Sons are forecast to hold steady as they just barely avoid getting swept.
- Moving to lanes 19&20, 6th-place Hulk Smash! (hcp 50) will tussle with 1st-place Bowlers of Mass Destruction. The Hulk might maintain their current strength as they lose the series but avoid getting swept; while Mass Destruction ought to hold steady as they enjoy their victories.
- Then, over on lanes 21&22, 4th-place When Push Comes To Shove will chuck some balls with 7th-place Canned Crabs (hcp 135). The Shovers will likely maintain their current strength as they win the series; while the Crabs will probably hold steady as they avoid getting swept.
- Finally, on lanes 23&24, 3rd-place D-Day (hcp 32) will compete against 2nd-place Top Guns. D-Day is predicted to maintain their current strength as they win the series; while Top Guns are anticipated to drop their average a bit while they avoid getting swept.
