Get last night's High School Soccer scores - a convincing W in the girls and boys teams column.
The win last night by the HS Kicking Conchs was especially sweet as they had lost 1:2 in the first meeting and remember those stunned faces.

How does one get enough game practice when a team can only play 1 half, then second half is called due to the Mercy Rule?
11:0 looks quite good for only 45 minutes. And since the rules say at least 1 half of the game has to be played, I challenge the girls to top that score.

Bowled Over - The Bold Italic - San Francisco

This week's edition of the the Joy of Bocce newsletter pointed to an article written by Aaron Britt for a San Francisco web publication, the bold italic, in which the author explored several Bayside Parks in search of Bocce, Petanque or any 'Boulet' communities.

Cowboy Bill's x 7!

Cowboy Bill's wins 7th consecutive title!

Was it expected? - One could say NO; but they were certainly the top team during the regular season not only for Monday Night but had the best record of all 4 divisions.

Will that record stand forever now that it reached 7 and Neil, Tegan, Rosemary and the rest of the team have no reason nor do they feel like forming other teams? This could just mean Cowboy Bill's is going for an 8th straight title under the same sponsorship.

The heavy thundersqualls passing through the lower Keys on Saturday delayed the opening round by 2 hours and it took quite some work by the officials and impatient team members to get the courts ready to be played on.

Perhaps the biggest shocker of the day was Gran Vin beating the team most hopeful to end Cowboy Bill's streak, the Schooner Wharf Bar. Having been the top seed for Wednesday Night, the Schooner had an automatic bye for the first round, while Grand Vin was forced earlier to go 3 games to advance.

As the day ended only 12 teams remained.
