🎳 LBA Seniors Week 20
Flu season, coaching manuals, and a lot of wins over people who weren’t there were the main stories behind the LBA Seniors week 20.
🔥 Lane Action
🥊 Bob Schorr took 3 from Tom Muncie, continuing a strong stretch and staying safely away from vending machines this week.
📘 Carl Drury studied from Mary’s Book of Winning and swept Brad 4–0 while Brad continues battling the flu. Carl says he’s open to further lessons.
🐕 Bob Reed and the service dog followed the same strategy, taking 4 from an absent George Bushee. The dog remains undefeated in intimidation.
📞 Bubba Trein joined the trend, sweeping an absent Dave Pierce. Attendance appears to be the toughest opponent in the league right now.
🤝 Joe Holcomb and Pat Worhle split 2–2, one of the few matches actually decided on the lanes.
⚖️ Vicki Trein and Marilyn Drury battled to a 2–2 tie, which means both left slightly annoyed.
🔥 Jeff Fletcher took 3 from Michael Altop, continuing a quiet climb.
👑 Ron McKenzie beat Mary 3–1, prompting speculation Mary might not have been at full power… or Ron just had a good night.

🎳 LBA Seniors League – Week 21 Recap
Absences, coaching manuals, ankle threats, and the return of a mysterious flu survivor.
🔥 Around the Lanes
🤷 Bob Schorr had a day he’d probably like to forget, managing to lose two games to an absent Vicki Trein. That takes a special kind of day. He’s looking for a vending machine to hide behind.
📉 Michael Altop took advantage of the schedule, winning 3 from an absent Pat Worhle, which still counts… even if it doesn’t feel like much of a workout.
🎳 Joe Holcomb and his magic golden ball stayed hot, taking 3 from Bubba Trein. At this point the ball may need its own locker.
💪 George Bushee swept Marilyn Drury 4–0, one of the stronger performances of the week and a reminder that George is still very much in the hunt.
🎯 Carl Drury returned to relying on his famous “Carl shots”, taking 3 from Bob Reed. Rumor has it Bob’s service dog is preparing to sharpen his teeth on Carl’s ankles in response.
📘 Mary McKenzie showed once again that her coaching should be taken seriously, taking 3 from Jeff Fletcher. Sources say she has already added another chapter to her lesson manual.
🤒 Brad returned from his self-imposed flu isolation, still insisting the illness was legitimate despite the lack of medical documentation. Healthy or not, he took 4 from Tom Muncie, suggesting the recovery is complete.
🔥 Dave Pierce had one of the biggest wins of the week, taking 3 from league leader Ron and suggesting afterward that Ron might benefit from reading Mary’s instruction manual himself.

🗣️ The Saloon Rumor Mill – Week 21
🐕 Bob Reed’s service dog has reportedly begun stretching before matches and has been seen staring directly at Carl’s ankles during practice. Carl says he’s “not worried,” but he’s also been tying his shoes a little tighter.
📘 Mary McKenzie’s coaching manual is rumored to be expanding into multiple volumes. Early chapters include “How to Beat People Who Should Know Better” and “Why Listening Matters.”
🤒 Brad continues to insist the flu was real.
League officials remain divided. One bowler claims Brad looked “perfectly healthy while sweeping Tom.”
🎳 Joe’s golden bowling ball is now believed to have its own personality. Some say it performs better when complimented. Joe has neither confirmed nor denied talking to it.
😄 Bob Schorr has requested that the phrase “lost to an absent bowler” be officially removed from league vocabulary.
🔥 Dave Pierce has reminded Ron about last week’s series win at least six times. Ron is said to be considering earplugs.
👀 George Bushee has quietly been putting together strong weeks, and several bowlers are starting to notice. George says he prefers it that way.
