We had a great year. In my opinion competitiveness was at an all time high! We are giving out a butt load of awards, and the people who won them really earned them this year.
We will be handing out all these awards at our end of season party Saturady 8/27 in the back room of Sharkey’s at 6pm. . . if you get there at 6pm and nobody is there, it means our end of the season tournament ran long, just check the bocce field. Everyone is invited to this tournament and there will be free food, and drinks, in addition to the awards we had out.
So without further ado . . .
The award for Turbo Bocce Regular Season Champion goes to . . . The Dog Brothers – Phil Martino and George Christou – 24-6 record. The all time record is 27-3 set by the Tipp Hill Tossers and Whipple & John.
The Dog Brothers locked up the first place spot by beating the #2 and the #3 teams in the final weeks of the season, nobody else beat either of those teams in a series.
The top 10 teams . . .
#2) Mark & Robb – 23-7
#3) Ralph Bocce-O – 21-9
#4) Black Jesus – 21-10
#5) Los Moppines- 23-7

#7) Droppin Balls- 20-10
#8) Blue Ballz – 21-9
#9) Ballz Deeper – 21-9
#10) Kiss My Ace- 20-10*
*We rank team by BCS which is two-thirds your record and one-third your strength of schedule. That’s why teams rankings do not correspond exactly with their record, for example why Los Moppines had the second best record but finished fifth, and why Black Jesus had the eighth best record but finished fourth.
The award for Most Points goes to . . . Greg Griffo of Los Moppines – 172 points. The all time record is 200 set by Bill LaBrake.
Greg almost won the points title in both the Tuesday and Wednesday leagues. He was passed on the last day of the season by a 24 point day by John Bauman.

The award for most Turbo Round Wins goes to . . . Monica Angelosanto of G and T’s – 9 Turbo Round Wins. The all time record is 10, set by Scott Mead.
This is our newest award and one of my favorites, because the winner knows they are clutch in one on one situations. Perhaps its no coincidence that Monica won this and has also won our one on one tournament.

The Rookie of the Year award goes to . . . Derrick Russell of Russell – 153 points. All time record is 174 set by Justin McLaughlin and Joe LaCelle.
We give the Rookie of the Year award to the rookie with the most points. There were not many new players this year, and its hard for someone new to compete with people who have been playing and practicing for years, so all these rookies did an amazing job.
