WEEK 16 RESULTS

Points Won: 7 - Points Lost: 20

We entered the night with high hopes but those hopes were dashed by Team 16 who earned 20 of the 27 points. Other than Garrett, we weren't very sharp and Team 16 took advantage of us.

Team 16 earned 6 of 7 points in the first game but we drew even by grabbing 6 of 7 in the second. It was all Team 16 in the third game as they swept all 7 points and earned the points for total pinfall. With our 7-20 performance, our record fell to 65.5-42.5 and we dropped to fifth place.

Next week is a position round so it would appear we will draw The Four Horseman who are presently in sixth place. (If anyone has an explanation for this peculiar team name, please share.)  Oops. The position round is two weeks away.

WEEK 15 RESULTS

Points Won: 18.5 - Points Lost: 8.5

Team PBS enjoyed another strong night as Garrett scored a 700 series while Brandon and Quinton trailed not far behind. Our score of 895 in the third game and the series score of 2558 were season highs. This earned us 18.5 points versus One Time who earned 8.5.

We now stand at 58.5-22.5 in the current segment of the season. We were only half a point out of first place entering the evening. When the league stats are posted later today, we will learn if this week's performance was enough to vault us to the top.

WEEK 14 RESULTS

Points Won: 23 - Points Lost: 4

The first Battle of the Pro Shops between Pinole Bowlers Supply and The Bowler's Advantage started off with a fizzler littered with splits, washouts and low scores. Quinton and Brandon were able to carry us through it to a 755-708 victory.

From that point, Team PBS was better able to adapt to the conditions where Team TBA continued to struggle. Team PBS followed with victories in game 2 (819-792) and game 3 (829-705) to earn a series sweep and a total score of 23-4. This boosted our record to 40-14 and almost certainly bumped us up a few places in the standings. The official league stats should be available within a few hours.

BATTLE OF THE PRO SHOPS I

Are we ready?

I finally finished editing some of the video from our practice on November 21st. You won't see Brandon and Quinton because they weren't able to attend but Mike came out to bowl with us that night.

WEEK 13 RESULTS

Points Won: 17 - Points Lost 10 

We knew we had our work cut out for us as our opponent this week was Beast Mode, the league's top team for the first part of the season. Quinton's job sent him out of town but we were fortunate to have Kevin Beber step in for him.

In the first game, we shot 851 which was one of our high scores of the season but we were topped by Beast Mode's 888. We didn't let it get us down and we battled back to post our high series for the season. It was enough to win the second and third games plus total pinfall. With our individual points, the score for the night was 17-10. That's a very respectable performance against one of the league's toughest teams.

WEEK 12 RESULTS

Points Won: 18 - Points Lost: 9

After a week off for the Thanksgiving holiday, we came back with another successful night, posting a record of 19-8. This improved our record for the season to 134.5-189.5 and moved us up one position in the standings.

Quinton won each of his first two games by a single pin, much to the dismay of Lisa Burney who had to be restrained from violence (only in jest, of course). After we lost the first game, Brandon gave us a big lift in the second game with a scintillating 256 which propelled us to a much needed win. The momentum carried into the third game which we also claimed, along with the total pinfall.

After week #8, we were in 16th (last) place with a record of 63.5-152.5 and a winning percentage of .294. After week #12, we are in 14th place with a record of 134.5-189.5 and a winning percentage of .415. That's a record of 71-37 (.657) over the past month.

WEEK 11 RESULTS

Points Won: 17 - Points Lost: 10

It was another successful week with a record of 17-10 for the night. Our record for the season improved to 115.5-181.5. I think it's safe to say Quinton and Brandon are rounding back into form. Now if I can pull out of my present tailspin, I think we'll be ready to take off.

Thanks to a fluke in the schedule and the position rounds, it appears we'll bowl against How Swede It Is for a third consecutive match once we return from our break for Thanksgiving. Even though the league is taking next week off, we could still come out for some practice. Anyone interested?

WEEK 10 RESULTS

For the second consecutive week, Quinton started us off with a 266 game. Let's see that trend continue! We won two of the three games plus total pinfall for a record of 17-10 on the evening. Our record for the season is 97.5-172.5. With two solid weeks in a row, is it safe to say our horrific slump is over?

WEEK 9 RESULTS

Points Won: 18 - Points Lost: 9

That's more like it! Quinton gave us a big lift by breaking out with a 266 in the first game. We won two of the three games and led in total pinfall for our best night of the season. Our record for the night was 18-9. That boosted our record for the season to 80.5-162.5. Will it be enough to move us out of the cellar? We should know tomorrow when the league stat sheet is posted.

WEEK 8 RESULTS

We're still struggling to break out of our funk. This was our lowest series score of the season and we sunk deeper into the cellar with a record of 5.5-21.5 for the night. Our record for the season is 62.5-153.5.
