South Glens Falls - The Forever Young standings took a bit of a turn Thursday afternoon. Boston Strong Balls, leading the league for a dozen weeks, snapped its recent slump behind anchor Tracy Clemmons (201-200-557) to sweep the Lady Slippers. The win pushed their record to 33-15 with three weeks remaining.

The recently red-hot (10-2 over three sessions) Tomahawks defeated the Sir Bills 3-1 to climb into second place, 4½ points behind. Roy Brady (215-603) and Don Williams (212-598) provided the firepower.

The Toms jumped over Leftover and The Last Two. Leftover could only get one point against the BYE team (Ray Davignon flew solo to 193-178-530), while The Last Two were getting walloped by C&P. Paul Pribis tallied 194-480 in the shutout.

Floyd Butler had the day's near-miss with 599 on games of 213, 198 and 188. Fire And Ice won the opener, then fell 3-1 against The Singers as Joe Sycuro had another standout performance, putting 192 and 228 at the end of a 558 series.

Chuck Boykin (221-213-581) and Bob George (210-523) pulled the BCs to a 2-2 draw versus the always-tough Yanks. Mark Basso (183-198-502) and Mom Ingrid (182-151-470) came from behind in the finale to gain the split.

A dozen points remain available in a most competitive season. The Toms lead Leftover and The Last Two by a point, with the BCs another 1½ back. The Singers, Marauders and Lady Slippers are all knotted at 25-23.

Williams still heads up the average race at 204, with Brady at 203.

Next week: Boston Strong Balls vs. the BYE; Tomahawks vs. Marauders; Leftover vs. Lady Slippers.
