In one of his games last week, Wayne scored 158 for the triple-triple
TRImMERS through the second R.


Last week in a game with a notable start:
 Judy H. opened with TOPMAST;
 Judy C. hooked that with an S and formed ASININE;
 Judy H. traded;
 Judy C. played PERMEATE from the P in TOPMAST into the lower row;
 Judy H. then played BECOMInG through the M in PERMEATE.
 Judy C. finished this 5-bingo sequence with rANGIEST in the lower row
 with a triple-triple.
No more than these five bingos were played in this game.


Last week, Bob B. made a 96-point non-bingo in the upper right corner
forming the horizontal ZINC and vertical ZA, hooking to an A on the board.


This is the final week of the 2007-2008 season. Season stats start fresh
in September next week.
