By Kevin Thibeault’s recent standards, he had an off night last night in the Pepsi league, “only” putting up a 263 high game in a 716 series (reporting threshold adjusted for the lane condition). It was his teammate, Dan Esdale, giving him margin for error, however, with a 267 high game in a 728 set of his own (check the recap, Lane 59). Nice bowling, guys! 🎳👍

Devon McGregor came close to one Friday night, with a 299 in the TNBA league, per the week’s high scores. Nice game, D-Mac! 🎳🔥👏
Shane Litchfield rolls 277 in Patriots league
He’d been taking time away from bowling for his college studies, but, on Thursday night, Shane Litchfield returned to the Westgate fray in a big way with a 277 game in the Patriots league (see week’s high scores). Welcome back! 🎳😎
Feb. 17 Brunswick Mixed recap
Last night’s bowling, frame-by-frame
I thought I bowled well overall, with my only real problem having been losing my carry in the third game. Sure, I would have liked to have made more spares, but it was still my spare game that kept my third game over average.
Result: 181-183-169=533
Average (54 games): 167
Average for last 9 games: 168
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 541
Lisa was the one absent this week, but we got the same result as last week, an even split of two points against a good team. The two games that we didn’t win were also close, so I felt good about our showing.
Ricky Chan tosses 275 in Brunswick Mixed
This was late coming in: Ricky Chan posted a 275 last week in my league, per the weekly high scores. WTG! 🎳😎
2020-21 Brunswick Mixed Week 18 league standings update
Interactive standings after Week 18 (Week 2 of 2nd half)
Creeden’s Mustangs are in a three-way tie with Motley Crew and Strike Machine for 10th place, five points behind Spare Us, who are a point ahead of 4 On 9 Man, a point and a half ahead of BBOB, and two points ahead of Maggie’s Warriors. Last Empire, the first half winners, are tonight’s opponents.
Kevin Thibeault scores 752 in Pepsi league
Team SEER might as well keep Kevin Thibeault in their lineup for the rest of this Pepsi league quarter, it seems, as he’s shot over 750 in two of the three weeks on Beaten Path so far. This week, he only went 248-258-246 for a 752, per the recap (Lane 52). Nice bowling, Kev! 🎳👍
Danny Khuu posts 289, Mike Trent Jr. 279 in Patriots league
There weren’t really many good series last week in the Patriots league, so the only highlights were single games, Danny Khuu’s 289 and Mike Trent Jr. with a 279 (see high scores). Good bowling! 🎳🙂
Feb. 10 Brunswick Mixed recap
Wednesday night’s bowling, frame-by-frame
My night’s highlight was definitely the run of four strikes that got me into the 180s at the end of the first game. I ran out of strikes in the other two, but made enough spares to keep those games’ scores in the reasonable range and got out of there with my 500.
Result: 180-158-169=507
Average (51 games): 166
Average for last 9 games: 173
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 516
Kevin was absent, and we could have used him, as the first and third games were close. We did win the second game by enough for total, and we didn’t mind the even split against that night’s opponent’s.
2020-21 Brunswick Mixed Week 17 standings update
Interactive standings after Week 17 (Week 1 of 2nd half)
Maggie’s Warriors jumped into the lead by themselves at our expense to start the second half. BBOB (our opponents tonight) and Move To Strike are tied for 2nd a half-point behind and three teams are tied for 4th, a point behind first.
On the bright side, Lisa did have high handicap game in the women’s “B” division for the week (see weekly divisional high scores on standing sheet).
Chris Zalewski throws 277 in Rhythm & Bowling
January ended with Chris Zalewski posting a 277 game in the Rhythm & Bowling league, per the high scores from Jan. 31 (Note: The league doesn’t usually upload results until later in the week.). WTG! 🎳👌
Joe Bourhill rolls 279/773, Kevin Thibeault 279, Brian Egan, Mike Mayo 278 in Patriots league
The scoring in the Patriots league last week shifted to a team bowling on the other end of the league, as Joe Bourhill put up a 279 game in a 773 set, and Kevin Thibeault, bowling as Joe’s teammate, had a 279 game himself (check the recap, Lane 35). Along with those, Brian Egan and Mike Mayo each also had 278 games (see week’s high scores).
Good bowling guys! 🎳😎
Feb. 3 Brunswick Mixed recap
Last night’s bowling, frame-by-frame
It looked at first like I was going to have another decent night, but then my spare game crept in the tank, and, while I recovered it by the end of the third game, the damage to my score was done by that point.
Result: 189-141-148=478
Average (48 games): 166
Average for last 9 games: 182
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 522
We ran into a team getting two of their bowlers back after a long layoff and only the first game was close in a losing effort (no points).
2020-21 Brunswick Mixed final 1st half standings
Interactive final first half standings
Creeden’s Mustangs ended up tied with Spare Us for 8th place in the first half (neither team will likely be paid for this position, however, the way the league’s prize structure usually works out). Last Empire won the first half by 4.5 points over 10th Frame Magic, with 4 On 9 Man in 3rd and Sweet Rolls 4th.
Creeden’s Mustangs starts the 2nd half this week against Maggie’s Warriors.
Looking at the divisional high scores for the week, I swept the board in the men’s “D” division, while Kevin had high scratch game & series in men’s “B.”
John O’Donnell shoots 278 in Rhythm & Bowling
Last Sunday (Jan. 24) in the Rhythm & Bowling league saw John O’Donnell post a nice 278 game (see week’s high scores). WTG! 🎳👌
Jan. 28 Patriots scoring addendum
Aside from the 300 and pair of 800s previously reported, Sean Richard had a 776 set (see recap, Lane 43; coincidentally, the 800s are also on this page, Lane 48), and Danny Khuu a 279 game (see weekly high scores). Nice bowling guys! 🎳🙂
Stephen Major scores 300/804, Jon Hester 817 in Patriots league
Last night was a huge night for a pair of Patriots league teammates, as Stephen Major went 258-300-246 for an 804 and Jon Hester followed him with 289-249-279 for 817. Stephen was subbing for one member of the team while another pre-bowled. My video of Stephen’s last shot is below:
Great bowling, guys! 🎳🔥😎💯
Editor’s note: “Hoss” didn’t want me to note the 289 game after he bowled it, but he think he’s resigned to me doing so after recording the 800. 😜
Jan. 27 Brunswick Mixed recap
Last night’s bowling, frame-by-frame
While I certainly carried better last week, I managed my game well last night, missing only one “easy” spare (a 10 pin), which was made up for with a split conversion. I’ll definitely take any night I’m making over 90% of my non-split spares.
Result: 203-175-197=575
Average (45 games): 167
Average for last 9 games: 177
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 547
Team lost the first game, but won the other two and total.
I’ve recovered all but one pin of the average I established after my third week in just two weeks after my low water mark of the season (162). I have some momentum coming into the second half with my new team now, so I hope I can help them. 🙂
2020-21 Brunswick Mixed Week 15 league standings update
Interactive standings after Week 15
Creeden’s Mustangs are in 9th place and bowling against Strike Machine tonight, the last week of the first half, with our only chance to move up being to sweep and one of the teams ahead of us, Spare Us or Never Lucky, loses three, which would create the tie for 8th place.
At the top, two points won by Last Empire vs. 10th Frame Magic wins the first half outright, while the best 4 On 9 Man can hope for is 2nd place.
I did have the high handicap game & series in men’s “D” last week (link is to the standing sheet page, which I’ll try to do more of when me or my teammates earn weekly division honors).
Kevin Thibeault bowls 773 in Pepsi league
Many bowlers need a game or two, or even a full night to get comfortable on a new lane condition. On the first night of the third quarter of the Pepsi league, on Kegel Beaten Path, all Kevin Thibeault did last night, however, was go 269-245-259 for a 773 set, a monster by that league’s standards (see recap, Lane 60). WTG Kev! 🎳🔥
Jan. 21 Patriots league scoring recap
Several bowlers were worthy of mention for performances last Thursday in the Patriots league, and I’ll start with the bowlers with notable series, first:
- Ray Fischer, 258-225-279; 762 (Recap, Lane 43)
- Aaron Major, 239-279-238; 756 (Recap, Lane 32)
- Brendan Litchfield, 279 (High Scores)
- Paris Cook, 279 (High Scores, linked above)
Nice bowling all around! 🎳😎
Jan. 20 Brunswick Mixed recap
My Week 15 bowling, frame-by-frame
My closest approach to 600 territory in a while. 😎
The only thing disappointing about the night was that if I made either 4-7 in the 10th frame second or third game tonight, I do get the six just with fill on the spare, in all probability. However, I will take this, as I was as comfortable as I felt bowling in a while, made the right moves when I had to, and had almost no carry issues.
Result: 171-202-220=593
Average (42 games): 165
Average for last 9 games: 169
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 528
Our opponents’ second man had a good night, but the team rode my good third game to the win for that game’s point, which was what we salvaged out of the night.
2020-21 Brunswick Mixed Week standings update
Interactive league standings after Week 14
Creeden’s Mustangs are in 9th place, 15.5 points behind Last Empire, who are a half-point ahead of 10th Frame Magic, a point-and-a-half ahead of 4 On 9 Man, and 7.5 points ahead of Sweet Rolls. My team is scheduled to bowl against Motley Crew tonight, but where this is the last week before the last position round of the half, I’ll give the leaders’ schedules, as well: Last Empire vs. Spare Us, 10th Frame Magic vs. Move To Strike, 4 On 9 Man vs. BBOB, and Sweet Rolls vs. Maggie’s Warriors.
Kevin did have the overall high game (267) and series (710) in the league last week. 😁👍
Brendan Litchfield shoots 290 in His & Hers
I still like to congratulate bowlers for 11 in a row, and that was the case last night, as Brendan Litchfield had (apparently) the back 11 for a 290 in the His & Hers league last night (see the weekly high scores). Great bowling! 🎳🔥
Aaron Major tosses 289/780, Brian Egan 278 in Patriots league
There were a couple of notable scores last Thursday in the Patriots league: Aaron Major, with 258-233-289 for a 780 set (see recap, Lane 49), and Brian Egan, with a 278 game (see weekly high scores). Good bowling, you two! 🎳👍
Jan. 13 Brunswick Mixed recap
My Week 14 bowling, frame-by-frame
The way the night went, I might as well have titled this “Lost on the left side,” as that was where I left most of my spares and was missing most of them, as well. I was probably proud that I did pick up the one 10 pin I had all night, with the bonus being the washout conversion early in the night.
Result: 136-150-147=433
Average (39 games): 162
Average for last 9 games: 155
Next week’s AVG+1 score: 497
As bad as I was, the bottom of our order, Randi & Kevin (the latter in particular) was as good, relatively, and we did win all four.

Creeden’s Mustang’s are due to bowl against Strike Machine tonight, but the weeks lost to the rollback will not be made up later in the season.
Jessica Lowe shoots 255 in TNBA league
Friday night’s return of the TNBA Mixed league saw Jessica Lowe record a 255 game, per the weekly high scores. WTG! 🎳😎
Aaron Major tosses 753 in Patriots league
Westgate’s leagues returned to action last Thursday night, with Aaron Major’s 753 set in the Patriots league being the night’s highlight, per the posted recap (Lane 33). Good bowling! 🎳👍
Peter Cappola fires 278 in Brunswick Mixed
This one is a couple of weeks old, but, since Westgate is out of action for the time being, I thought I’d save this for a “Christmas gift”: Peter Cappola had a 278 in the Brunswick Mixed league in our last night before the rollback, noted in the week’s high scores. Nice bowling Peter! 🎳👍
