Coquina Juniors 2 on February 28, 1998:
Games/Series of Week 19:177, 139, 159: 475
Total Score:8,623
Average:151.281 (+.392)
Rating:Good
Team Rating, Wins/Losses:Poor, 1-3
Team Total Wins/Losses, Place:41.5-34.5, 2nd, 7 game deficit

Game 1: More good than bad in Game 1 gave me a 177. I was doing good and
had over 100 after 7 frames. I got 2 strikes in frames 8 and 9. I wound up
getting another strike, but missed the following spare. Yes, my team did win.
I got the 177 because I didn't throw many dead center balls, and I didn't get
hard splits. Now, this would be my chance at a 470+ Series.

Game 2: I got off to a slow start. The same happened to my team and it never
recovered, thus a 101-point loss. I was getting plenty of spares on Lane 20, but
got nothing on Lane 19, until the 9th frame, when I got a strike on 19. Some of
my missed spares on 19 were of the 4-pin and 7-pin variety...I guttered both
of those spare attempts, but I managed to salage a 139 with a good 10th frame,
paired with a 9th frame strike.

Game 3: Another slow start for my team = another loss. But, for me, I did good.
I bowled plenty of marks (6 in a row from frames 3-8), but blew an easy spare
in the 9th frame. However, I recovered in the 10th and got a strike and a
spare. 159 - better than nothing.

Summary: Losing is getting increasingly common. A 15 game swing in 12 weeks
hurts badly. My team can't win against the easiest of teams. I seem to do
good, but it's never enough. The lone good thing for my team about Week 19:
it's not the worst 2nd half team anymore. Even the last place team has a
better record than my team in the 2nd half.
