Breakdown
Team: Team 17
Team members:
Chris Hickey, Matt Watkins, Jeff Rowland, Ed Hinphy
Team Average: 654
Last Year's Record: 150.5-134.5
Place Finished: 5th

Last year, this team surprised everyone by finishing in the top 5. This year, they are not surprising anyobody - and no Harry Alkire to boot. Can Ed Hinphy carry the team the way that Alkire did last year?

Personnel: Team 17 is getting some imports from Monday''s T-Devils - Hiekcy (148) and Hinphy (183) in the top and bottom slots, respectively. Watkins (160) and Rowland (163) will be battling it out for the second and third spots.

Outlook: Hinphy has some big shoes to fill. Alkire's 190+ average saved the team on numerous occasions and Hinphy will be called on for some big games. Hickey is also the key - the 148 bowler can't afford to go 110's and 100's - but if they produce, ths team couldwind up in the top 5 again.

Interesting match-up vs: Cos 'N' Company .-
This team is a lot like Team 17 from last year - except their average are a little higher. Can the prodigies keep up with the team that branded the original style of high average covers the rest of the team play?
