Never before has a team needed to smash all of the scoring records to win.
In all of the years that I've been bowling in Coquina Juniors 2, your team
is in the "never lose" column if you shoot a 1,015+ Hdcp. Game and a 3,000+
Hdcp. Series. In Game 1, my team shot a 1,047 Hdcp. Game, the 5th best of the
season for my team, helped greatly by my sub shooting a 267. A team would
win the game 99.9% of the time. Instead, it turned out to be a 31-point loss.
It was just a microcosm of what would happen to my team in Week 13.

It's not uncommon to be poor against one team and to be great against the
rest of the league. Right now, I'm looking at 3.5-8.5 against one team and
35-5 against the rest of the league. If this trend continues, my team would
probably be more like 4-12 against one team and 66-10 against the rest of the
league. I was not disappointed after being the last team to fall victim to
a 4-0 loss. My team's overall performance wasn't bad at all.

I'm not putting my team in a state of panic right now. There are still 9 more
weeks left in the season.

As for my performance, it was the worst since the 9th week. I left nothing
but splits and it didn't help me one bit. I almost converted a few tough
ones, however.

One interesting note: This marks the 100th straight week of bowling in
Coquin Juniors 2. 300 games without missing one. Wow.

Oh, yeah...forgot about the Christmas Party. This was my chance to win some
free games. But I had few opportunities to win the freebies. It was odd in
shooting a 200 in my final game of the 20th century. Here are the quick stats:

Scores: 157, 118, 200: 475
Free games: 1 for 2 (made the first, missed the second)

Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Millennium!
