BOCCE BUZZ

Palisades Bocce Club President Jimmy Dunne wrote this report recounting last week’s results at Veterans Gardens:

SENIOR LEAGUE

The Vinos, La Bocce Vita and High Rollers are crushing it with astounding 4-0 season records.

Lee Steele and Jackie Merman were on fire taking down The Newbies. The Newbies are on the verge of coming into their own; great left rail shots by Kat Holland—and standout potential in Mike Winokur.

The Spring Chickens had a heartbreaker against the mighty Vinos. Terri Webb and Gary Jacob lit it up.

Bud Kling (and his Wilt Chamberlain-esk rolling style) punished The Patriots.

Mary de Kernion had the line of the night. After they lost, their opponents asked if they wanted to play again for fun. Mary said, “For fun? Let’s play for money!”

Bocce Aces bulldozed the formidable Palisades Rookies. Brian Grimes knocked down a 5-Pointer.     

High Rollers, led by Italian mega-star Vito Altieri, put on an exhibition against The Mob. Who could possibly not love the adorable Jan Eakins and Arline Laughton?

The Vinos continue to lead the Mountain Division and La Bocce Vita and High Rollers are tied atop

the Ocean Division.

SUNSET LEAGUE

The Bocce Babes came to play, taking down Bocce Mi in a dramatic playoff, and then snuck past Mazel Balls, 10-9.

Eileen Berger Sheiniuk stepped up to the line and nailed the winning throw. The fans went berzerk.

Pali Pado Paisanos were superstars against the lovely new team, Holy Rollers. Sophia Putnam and Annette Verge showed amazing potential.

Pledges The Bocce Babes took down Mazel Balls in a 10-9 thriller! Laura Diamond sparkled.

Nancy Myers (who everyone in the world loves) is a big new addition to I Liff Bocce. Captain Sue Kohl gave the “Bay” sign, and delivered! Rex Gottesman heroically delivered the final blow to La Bocce Vita.

BB Legends were just historical against the great new franchise with great potential, PPBA AllStars.

Bocce Ballers had a thiller, 10-9, against the formidable and lovable Pali Dad Bod. Christopher Dean and Neil Deiter couldn’t hold off the rail-game wizardry and charm of Emma Klein and Susan Sullivan.

Cary Singleton gets ‘best dressed’ for Thursday night and showed amazing promise against Marianne and Rich Jarc and Pallino Posse.

Brad Schmidt stepped up, wiped his brow and rolled the winning shot against the ever-strong Ball Busters.
