Team Paisani Wins Bocce Championship
Another great bocce season came to an exciting conclusion. The Tuesday night qualifier saw 10 Balls battle Paisani. Paisani won both games in a competitive match. In the Thursday night playoff, it was Raydon against Slo Your Role. The teams split their first two games. The 3rd match saw Raydon jump ahead 10 to 3 but Slo Your Role came back and tie the match 10 to 10. Raydon won the nail biter.
The finals were Paisani against Raydon for the 2019 Championship. The teams split the first two games that featured some great throwing. The final game of the season was a back and forth affair that Paisani pulled it out 11 to 9
Congratulations to Lou Bellante, Deanna Bellante, Theresa Bellante and Jim Anderson of Team Paisani for being the 2019 Bocce Champions!
Sometimes bocce is a game of inches!
The winning team! Congratulations to Deanna Bellante, Lou Bellante, Theresa Bellante and Jim Anderson.
