It's Over; Boston Strong Balls Prevail
Wrap Up FY Title With Sweep

Patrick Scanlan, Tracy Clemmons

South Glens Falls - Tracy Clemmons finished the second game with a five-bagger for 212 as Boston Strong Balls clinched the 2013 Forever Young league championship Thursday afternoon at Kingpin's Alley. The early wrap-up was achieved by their opponents (The Last Two) not showing up, forcing BSB to win three points against the blind - which they accomplished with style, going 4-0 to run their overall record to a gaudy 39-17. That's 5½ in front of Leftover, and with one week to go (four points available), that's all she wrote. Tracy ended his day with 532.

Cameron Mitchell subbed for Roy Brady with the league's best effort, a 665 on games of 192, 220 and 253. Ray Davignon was steady with 188-180-180 for 548. Don Williams was saddled with 10-pin-itis, missing an uncharacteristic half-dozen (out of many) in a 537. Floyd Butler had 208-529, Mark Basso 236-526 and Chuck Boykin 503.

Next Thursday's position round has serious standings implications, but not for the top two spots. The Tomahawks, Sir Bills and The Last Two are all knotted at 30½-25½. BCs and the Marauders are next with 29-27; The Singers and the Lady Slippers are an even .500 (28-28); and Fire And Ice and Last Dance are one in back of that.

Williams' average fell to 203. Mitchell has averaged 215 in his five relief roles.
