🎳 LBA Seniors League – Week 18 Recap
Where egos fall, legends rise, and vending machines provide cover.
🔥 Around the Lanes
Dave Pierce decided this was the week to channel his inner Pete Weber and kick butt instead of the ball return. He took three games from Bob Schorr, who was later spotted hiding behind the vending machines. Rumor has it Bob was checking snack prices in case he had to stay awhile.
George Bushee gave it everything he had against league leader Ron, managing to take two and a half games. George celebrated like he won the night anyway, high-fiving himself and nodding approvingly. Ron declined interviews and eye contact.
Vicki Trein had a strong showing, taking three from Jeff Fletcher. Jeff was overheard questioning his life choices, specifically whether running into burning buildings might have been more run.
Mary McKenzie showed absolutely no mercy. With Brad home in bed, flu-ridden and allegedly unable to move, Mary still took three games from him. Sources say she may have checked on him afterward. Briefly.
Pat Worhle remains locked in on the league’s cash prize, taking all four games from Tom. Pat announced that this was more fun than going to the casino, which caused several bowlers to nod thoughtfully.
Joe Holcomb and his mysterious bowling ball continue their mission to knock Ron out of first place. Joe took three from Marilyn Drury, and for once the entire league was united — everyone is rooting for Joe.
Bubba Trein ignored the coaching advice provided by his wife and paid the price, losing three games to Carl Drury. Carl accepted the wins quietly and without a phone call.
Michael Altop took three games from Bob Reed, who immediately threatened to release his support dog on Michael’s leg next time. The dog has neither confirmed nor denied involvement.

🎳 LBA Seniors League – Week 19 Recap
When special bowling balls fail, dogs intimidate, and someone yells “I am.”
🔥 Around the Lanes
🎳 Joe Holcomb’s special bowling ball finally betrayed him.
Against Bob Schorr, the magic disappeared and Bob took all four games. Joe was later heard muttering that he “wasted good money on that velvet liner.” The ball refused comment.
🐕 Mary McKenzie faced an opponent who actually showed up this week — and paid the price. She lost four games to Bob Reed, whose good-luck service dog allegedly intimidated Mary. That’s the rumor anyway. The dog looked innocent.
🥊 Dave Pierce didn’t care if Brad was sick, healthy, or somewhere in between.
He took all four games without breaking a sweat. Brad was heard yelling, “Who do you think you are?” From several lanes away, Ron answered loudly: “I am.” No one asked him to clarify.
🎯 Ron McKenzie was not intimidated by Carl’s famous “Carl Shots.”
He took three games and continues to hold first place, maintaining a 7½–point lead over Pat, who is gaining ground quickly.
💪 Pat Worhle stayed hot, sweeping Vicki Trein 4–0. Vicki was later seen smacking her bowling ball with a towel and whispering, “Bad ball… bad ball.” The ball looked ashamed.
🔥 Jeff Fletcher appeared deeply conflicted after watching George bowl. Witnesses overheard Jeff wondering if he should set George’s ball and bag on fire to practice returning to firefighting — or if he was just mad. Jeff has declined comment.
🤷 Marilyn Drury split the night 2–2 with Michael Altop.
Marilyn later mentioned that Carl refuses to take her coaching advice, but she’s confident that won’t help Carl next week against Brad.
😄 Tom Muncie took three from Bubba Trein and smiled all the way to his car. No phone calls were made.
