Congratulations to Matt Wingerd for repeating as Champion and winning the 2011 Bocce Tournament. Matt now joins Doug Ross as the only individuals to have won the tournament at least 6 times. Matt beat out Brian Koziel in the finals by a score of 21 – 12. Brian finally made his first finals appearance in 15 years of competing by beating out one-time champion Jim deBeers 21-19 in one semi-final game. In the other semi-final game, Matt advanced by beating out Scott Sadowski by a score of 21-12.
Brian thought it finally might be his big day to win it all after getting by 8-time champ Doug Ross in the quarterfinals by a score of 21-17. Brian placed 3rd, last year, 2nd this year, perhaps next year maybe 1st? We’ll have to wait and see.
Other notable games included one-time champ Mony Kim making it to the quarter-finals but losing to eventual champion Matt Wingerd by a score of 21-10.
Congrats to Scott Sadowski for winning the bags tournament and finally beating out 6-time champ Mony Kim.
Special thanks goes out to Beth and Steve Frake for hosting this year’s tournament. Also thanks to those who brought a side dish, or extra food, etc.
See you all at the 23rd annual Bocce Tournament in 2012!
