Two Earn Bowler-of-the-Week Honors!

Brian Gawlowski and Ed Troicke

Congratulations to Ed Troicke and Brian Gawlowski on earning the first "dual" Bowler-of-the-Week kudos!

Ed shot 245-712 and Brian shot 247-705! Excellent bowling!

Other top bowlers include: Matt Hoyt 200, Lynne Weir 202-553, Jim Wedro 200, Josh Kendall 253-695, Jeanette Wiley 155, Ken Comtois 242, Mary Magee 133, Freddie Wedro 188, Dean Heald 210 and Ted Hudson 214.

There was excitement on the lanes tonight as we watched two of our bowlers crush the pocket over and over again!  Thanks to Brian's skill, Jack's team swept Matt's team moving them just one point from first place.  The combination of Ed, Josh and Jim, they managed to sweep Lynne's team to take the first place spot!  Ken's team squeaked out a point from Ted's team but wasn't enough to move them out of the sixth place spot.

We will be discussing a change in the handicap system for the second half hoping to make it a little more challenging for Jim Wedro's team to compete with the rest of the league.  Due to the luck of the draw with folks leaving the league at the beginning of the season, Jim's team is a little overloaded in the average department and we are trying to make it a little more fair for the other five teams to compete against them.  This meeting will be within the next few weeks.

Lastly, we wish you and your family a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!

Bowler of the Week

267-733! 

Other top bowlers include: Ken Comtois 241-667, Josh Kendall 221-610, Charlie Magee 186, Kay Gawlowski 145, Liz Pratt 222-621, Matt Hoyt 226-613, Mary Magee 146, Dean Heald 214, Ted Hudson 230-627, Brian Gawlowski 208, Audrey Wright 190-504, Lorrie McLaughlin 220-518, and Lynne Weir 186-519.

Lots of nice scores shot on Saturday night!  Quite a few 600 series!  Congrats to all who had some really nice scores!

Team standings are making some movement with only 7 weeks left in the first half.  Jim Wedro's Team swept again this week moving them into the first place spot and tied with Lynne's Team who swept their opponents as well. Ted's Team took three from Matt's Team but didn't move them up all that much.  The points are adding up ... who will get that first place finish this half?

We are all going to start to be busy with family and friends holiday events.  If at all possible, please pre-bowl for the night that you will be missing. It helps to keep the teams competitive during this busy season.

Speaking of the holidays, we will be celebrating on the 20th of December.  I will have a sign up sheet for those wishing to bring sweet dessert types of goodies for that night.  We cannot bring in "food" types of dishes, so please keep it to cookies, candies, cakes, etc.  The cost for the "party" will be $5 per bowler $10 per guest.  The rest of the food will be covered by 50/50 drawing proceeds.

We will be having a gift exchange that night as well.  Please bring a gender neutral gift of at least $10.  You are not required to participate in this.  If you bring a gift, you get a gift.  It is a lot of fun and we hope to make this a yearly tradition!

All the standings for week 11 are posted and you can see them by clicking HERE!  

Way To Go Ted Hudson!! Bowler of the Week with 724!

Congratulations to

TED HUDSON

bowler of the week!

Ted shot 265-724 to take the top honors this week!

It was nice to have Liz Pratt's parents (Linda and Bill Pratt) there to watch her come out of the gate with 278!  Both Linda and Bill commented that it was nice to visit with old friends again, and I know the feeling was mutual. For those of you who may not know them, they bowled with Potbellies for many, many years.

Jeff Lind celebrated his birthday with BFF's Josh Kendall and Ed Troicke and team captain Jim Wedro as together they swept Ted's team despite his 724 series.

Many bowlers hit the 30 game mark placing them into their permanent division for the year.  If you have any questions regarding your division, please see me on Saturday night.

We have gotten the final OK for the Christmas Party to be celebrated on December 20th.  $5 per league bowler, $10 for guests, children under 12 will be free.  If you would like to bring sweet goodies, please see Lorrie McLaughlin, she is our coordinator for the goodies and the presents.  If you would like to participate in the gift exchange - please bring a gift that could be for guys or girls. Make sure to talk to Lorrie if you have any questions on that part.

Ed Troicke Takes Top Spot Again with 664!

Congratulations to ED TROICKE - our bowler of the week again. Ed shot 257-664 to take the top honors this week!

Other top bowlers include: Ted Hudson 227, Brian Gawlowski 199-557, Lorrie McLaughlin 170, Alice Hudson 190, Lynne Weir 189-534, Josh Kendall 218-602, and Liz Pratt 224-606.

Once again, Ed took the top spot of the night but he was just a few pins short of Jeff Lind who shot 255-668.  Jeff has decided to join us as of next week, so Ed will have yet another competitor to face and beat to keep his streak going!

Team standings took another move this week with Jack's team taking first place by one point over our "all-girl" Lynne's Team.  They swept Ken's Team to move into second place.  Even though Liz Pratt shot 606, Matt's Team moved into the third place spot after being swept by Jim Wedro's Team.

I am pleased to announce that we are once again a full 24-person league with the addition of Dean Heald, who filled Richard's place on Ted's Team and Jeff Lind who will be taking the last vacant spot on Jim Wedro's Team.  We welcome both of these bowlers to our league!

After bowling next week, many of you will be placed into your division for the rest of the season.  If you have any questions about your placement, please speak to me about it.

Not too much to report tonight so I look forward to seeing you next week!
