Veteran NSL'ers SAS Strikers, Happy Strikers, UnbeWiiVables and Center on the Hill all rolled big scores and seem poised to replace defending NSL Champions as the Cedar Crest Crushers chose not to compete in the fall league.
The new kid on the block may be the Sunshine Strikers 1 team led by coach Clara White's 279/256. The Strikers 1 and 2 teams hail from St. Petersburg, FL and both may challenge the leaders for the NSL crown. Another new team showing championship caliber play is the Hiawassee Hotshots, Hiawassee, Ga., coached by Brenda Brannock. The Hotshots were led in first week play by Murlene Bradley's 245/248. Another team to watch is the Wii Warriors from Walnut Village whose roster is made up of veteran NSL Wii Bowlers.
Week 1 NSL Shoutout to coach Tom Gray, Sierre Point Stryke Force, who put together 16 west coast teams representing Vintage Senior Communities. Tom's Stryke Force team is led by Wii Bowlers Flo Eng (205/213) and Jack Lewis (216/203). And a special NSL Welcome to the Kensington Knockouts, one of Tom's teams representing Vintage. It's their first try at Wii Bowling and first try in the NSL.
