​With only position round left in the first third of the Bill Mastronardi Masters League, Potters Alley should have it all but locked up.

 

They currently hold a 48-point lead over second place Plaza Lanes, meaning they will need nearly a flawless night to overcome Potters who has been in first place since week two.

 

With that said, two other teams had a chance in week 10 on Monday to keep things interesting, but after both Mt. Hawley and Striketown could only muster a total of 24 points combined, it took them out of the running.

 

In a night that saw the league average once again go down, Andy Stone was your bowler of the week producing a 778. Chad Barnes followed with a 769, while Mike Boogren had 740.

 

Morton Industries was your team of the week with an impressive 2786, led by Don Sweet who shot 734.

 

Landmark Lanes is currently in third place and will bowl Mt. Hawley who is in 4th, while Striketown sitting in 5th will take on 6th place Linn Lanes this week in position round.

 

The Strikeout pot continues to grow week by week, as it has yet to be hit in the first 10 weeks of action. It will hit the $600-mark next week, meaning each bowler would win $150 if broken.

WEEKLY STATISTICS

 

Out of the 48 bowlers, 30 of them saw their average go in the wrong direction, only 58 of the 144 total games bowled by everyone on Monday night were over the league average of 216.24.

 

With that outcome, the league average went from 216.24 down to 215.71.

 

Fun Fact: A total of 48 games have been bowled on Lanes 1 & 2 at Striketown, the overall average is 191.

 

With only position round left in the first third, the league has yet to see anyone shoot 800. There have been three 300s, and two 299s.

 

I am going to make a prediction that the first 800 of the year will be bowled next week at Mt. Hawley, but it sure as heck won’t be me.
