🔥 LBA Seniors Week 22 Around the Lanes
🎯 George Bushee kept the pressure on league leader Ron by sweeping Bob Schorr 4–0. George said Ron is now firmly in his crosshairs. Ron responded that he can duck. Confidence remains high on both sides.
🐕 Bob Reed and his very passive guard dog took 3 from Tom Muncie. The dog calmly sat nearby and licked its lips whenever Tom approached, which somehow felt worse than barking.
🎳 Carl Drury relied on his famous “Carl shots” to beat his wife 3–1. Not exactly gentlemanly, but effective. Carl did not apologize.
🥇 Ron took 3 from Joe in a key matchup. Rumors immediately surfaced that Ron hid Joe’s golden bowling ball beforehand. No evidence has been presented… but the timing is suspicious.
📞 Michael Altop swept Bubba Trein 4–0. Bubba admitted he may not have followed his wife’s bowling lessons and once again mentioned Luigi, which never reassures anyone.
😅 Brad struggled with strikes, recording ten nine-counts in three games, but still managed to take 2½ from Vicki. Vicki beat Brad by two pins in one game and tied him in another. Early theory suggests Brad may have forgotten his start time.
📘 Mary McKenzie gave Pat live coaching while beating him 3–1. Pat said he might like to return to the first part of the season when things were going better.
🔥 Jeff Fletcher took 3 from Dave Pierce, and the noise level escalated quickly. Reports say it became loud enough that Pete Weber himself asked Dave to calm down.

LBA Seniors League – Week 23 Recap
Golden balls recovered, Carl strikes defended, and Brad files for payment.
🔥 Around the Lanes
🎯 Carl Drury took 3 from Bob Schorr, continuing the reign of the famous “Carl strikes.”
They are getting on people’s nerves, but Carl insists it’s pure talent. Opinions remain divided.
🎳 Joe Holcomb found his golden bowling ball, immediately stating Ron definitely hid it. With the ball recovered, Joe took 3 from Jeff Fletcher and looked far less stressed.
🥇 Ron McKenzie took 3 from Michael Altop to maintain his grip on first place. Observers are convinced Ron has been studying Mary’s coaching manual. Ron calls it a coincidence.
📘 Mary McKenzie took 3 from Bubba Trein, who admitted he may need to re-read the book — possibly more than once.
😄 Brad showed up on time and actually bowled, taking 3 from George Bushee and effectively removing George’s crosshairs from Ron. Brad says Ron owes him money for the assist. Ron has not responded.
👍 Pat Worhle took 3 from Dave Pierce, and surprisingly, Dave stayed calm, simply saying, “There will be a next time.” This may be the biggest surprise of the week.
🤝 Tom Muncie and Marilyn Drury split 2–2, which felt exactly like a split — nobody fully satisfied.
