THEN THERE WERE 8
1 point victories, down by 25 and come from behind, and perfect games. They were all a part of the competition as the field was whittled down this past week from 32 to 16 and then to the "Elite 8" of the league. Each of these remaining 8 teams, however, have been dominating their competition as they prove that they are indeed the Aces of the Alley. In this blogger's opinion, predictions = jinx so there will be none of that. Lets just say we have some very interesting matches coming up.
Top ranked Cedar Crest Crushers from Pompton Plains NJ go up against the Riverside Silver of Charleroi, PA. The Crushers are new to the league while the Silver have experience on their side (and some might say an Axe to grind) as a finalist last season.
The 300 Club of Lansdale, PA comes in a very slight underdog against last season's champion SAS Strikers of Boca Raton, FL. This match will also determine who gets bragging rights as the best Wii bowling team in the ACTS Life communities. What will the company memo say?
In the "They Look Familiar" department the Fairhope Superstars of Belle Vernon, PA take on The Active Life of LaGrange, GA. Both these teams changed their names after last season and it has worked so far as their performance has improved dramatically.
In the 4th matchup, coming out of Springfield, IL and fighting their way back to the final 4 we have the CRV Bullets rolling with newcomers and second ranked Wood Choppers from Lakeland FL.
All these matches should prove interesting to watch. These bowlers are so good that should a team slip below 2000 points for a match they are in danger of being sent to the showers. That means bowlers have to put together two 250 point games. That's quite a feat. Stay tuned as the next update will come out on Tuesday morning.
