First Week of Playoffs

Not unlike the NCAA tournament, the first round of our tournament featured a few upsets. It also, sadly, sent half of our players home.

In the Pro Division, Adrienne continued bowling like a champ and defeated Andrew. In a husband-wife battle of the ages, Joe knocked out the heavily favored Kate. (Knocked her out of the tournament, that is. No spouses were battered in the playing of this tournament. That I'm aware of.) Thanks for participating, Andrew and Kate! This week's finals feature Adrienne vs. Joe to see who brings home the trophy!

In the Advanced Division, Carter handily defeated Jim, showing why he was the regular season champion. Roger has come on strong at the end of the season, and ousted Jessica with a personal best 223. In a mother-daughter matchup, Amber sent her own mother packing. How is that for gratitude? And in a squeaker, Charlotte edged out TJ by only 6 pins. It's been fun having you bowl with us, Jim, Jessica, Sherri and TJ. Hope to see you next season! This week's games are Carter vs. Roger and Amber vs. Charlotte in the semi finals.

In the Novice Division, Kelli was forced to forfeit, giving Alex a first round victory. Bo buckled down to defeat Michelle, while Butch beat Josh by only 2 pins! Bill bowled an impressive 179 to send April home for the season. Cheryl, Hollie, Q and Sibyl all advanced on byes this week. Excellent season, Kelli, Michelle, Josh and April. Hope you had fun! This week's quarter finals will showcase Cheryl vs. Alex, Hollie vs. Butch, Q vs. Bo, and Sibyl vs. Bill.

For the Kids Division, Sarah continued her strong performance and defeated Wyatt, while Tom took out the impressive Max. Great season, Wyatt and Max! We've loved having you participate! This week's final showdown pits brother against sister with Sarah and Tom duking it out to see who will be the champion!

I hope that you are all enjoying the tournament! Good luck if you're bowling this week!
