Well, that's it! With another 300 game, a 7-10 split, a combined league average of 168.845, and 285 200+ games, our best-season ever on MANY metrics is now in the history books!
Highlights include Brian Coe picking up our league's second 300 game, and newcomer Russell Bingham picking up our first 7-10 split ever.
It also came some with some sadness, when a league staple from the very beginning, Ken M. Wilson, quit after the 4th week. He was just one week shy of being the first bowler in league history to reach 100 600+ series, so maybe that dangling over his head will entice him to return someday.
Our final week of the season included the surprise Hall of Fame induction of Ryan Doll, captain of this season's championship team Amazeballs.

*Would have been Ken M. Wilson with his 717 scratch series, but Rule 3b disqualifies him this season.
**An odd side effect of the above means that Brian Coe's 300 doesn't count as high game scratch, due to the other part of Rule 3b.
