The 2017 Bocce Ball Marathon is in full swing. The competition is fast and furious. Through mid-February, 62 SunBird residents have participated in 360 games of bocce. The marathon participants have been divided into three leagues, and each competing team must play each team on their league roster. Competition will continue through March 19 with the play-off event scheduled for March 26 at 2:00 p.m. All SunBird residents are invited to attend the final play-off and cheer for their favorite team. Bring your own beverage and a snack to share to the final event.
The standings as of mid-February are neck and neck. The Green League is led by Team Onyx with 100% winning percentage. They are followed closely by Team Corrie/Giarrusso and Team Reed. On the Red League Team, Maach/Kozak is leading with a winning percentage of 72.2%; also in the winning three are Team Silver Lakers and Team Holy Rollers. The Blue League is showing Team Moosejavians with a 100% scoring with Team The Necks and Team Tigers close behind. Just wait for the final week of play!
An April bocce ball competition is being planned, and further details will be available at the courts, on a clipboard in the puzzle room and in the April SunBird News. If you are interested in getting involved, watch the postings or call Dianne Reed at 612-616-9431.
