Moose Mixed bowlers ready for season finale

With only one week remaining in winter league action, Mountain Top Siding holds a two-point lead over the M.P.?s. Mountain Top was shut out 4-0 last week against the third-place team, the Hatchetts. M.P.?s also struggled, falling 3-1 to Team Kermit.

This sets up an exciting position round to finish competition for the winter season. Tomorrow night, Mountain Top will face M.P.?s for the season championshipo, while the Hatchetts will face Hayes? Heroes to decide third and fourth. Hatchetts currently have a 6.5-point lead over the Heroes, so they have a lock on at least third. The Heroes have every reason to do as well as possible, though, because they are in a tight race in the middle of the field, leading Team Kermit by two points. Team Kermit will face the sixth-place New Crew in a rematch of last season?s final round. New Crew, last season?s champ, trails Team Kermit by 2.5 points, and can move into fifth place.
