Yes folks it was a holy guacamole night and for the very first time in Campbell Bocce League’s history we didn’t run out of the essential guacamole before the tacos were ready. It was a terrific night for everyone who attended, fabulous tacos , Garcia’s homemade beans and rice, killer Margaritas, Marc Antony & The Gypsy Kings blaring and great bocce.

So with very little fanfare and being short on time and energy this week. The results from Round 3 were:

The Rolling Stones 12- Game of Throwns 10

Labor Force 12 – Holy Rollers 9

Cozzie and The Hot Rollers 13 – Deboccery 8

But before I get to the current Standings, I have to admit to a serious mistake. Due to a transcription error, I incorrectly reported the results from Round 2 between the Rolling Stones and Cozzie and The Hot Rollers. The game was actually won by Cozzie and the Hot Rollers 12-8, not the reverse as I reported and this of course effects the standings. So after Round Three we now have Game Of Throwns in first place and amazingly three teams exactly tied for second, The Rolling Stones, Holy Rollers and Cozzie and the Hot Rollers. Labor Force has moved up from the basement after defeating the Holy Rollers in Round 3. Deboccery is improving with each Round, so be on the lookout this Friday for their first win when they play the Rolling Stones in the night’s opening match.

 

Our Round 4 dinner theme will be Mediterranean Nights. First game is at 6:30 between last place Deboccery and second place The Rolling Stones.

Our Summer of Love theme night turned into a spectacle when Kay “Light My Fire” Missin nearly burned down the backboards. Kay was hot, hot, hot rolling a nearly perfect game with every frame. Coached by Captain Conor, Kay, with teammates,  June and Cris, holding the south end for Deboccery together took an early lead against The Holy Rollers. Second year player June Weaver rolled like an MVP destroying any scoring opportunity while  the Rollers’ Lori and Jim Woodcock turned “A Whiter Shade of Pale”. When Roller’s Captain Carol called out to the heavens for mercy, there was “Dancing in the Street” as Coates and Carl managed to bring the score even and finally win by one point. Holy Rollers 12, Deboccery 11

When the Rolling Stones took the stage facing off Cozzie and the Hot Rollers, Captain Chris was down two players, so he strategically pulled in “I’m a Man” Daniel Boone to join bandmates, Degiere and Leon. Captain Carla, along with rookie Gail and Kelly played like they were “Happy Together” but it was Rich Weaver who was “Somebody To Love” as he fielded point after point for the Cozzie’s. It was “Up, Up and Away” as Boone, Leslie, Jim and Cattich scored the Stones’ second victory this season. Rolling Stones 12, Cozzie and the Hot Rollers 8

The nights final match, was an exhibition by Barb Kutschinski of “Groovin”. With only Clay and Barb, Game of Throwns was down three players and “For What it’s Worth” wisely tapped league favorite Jim Leon as substitute. Barb, Clay and Jim couldn’t go wrong against Labor Force with Captain Ted, Jack, Rupert and “White Rabbit” killer Daniel Boone playing sub for the second time. Labor Force lost their second game of the season and really need to “Get Together” if they are aiming for the playoffs. Game of Throwns 12, Labor Force 5

Thanks to everyone and the Electric Kool-aid for a night that might be described as a “Purple Haze”. Per several requests, the evening’s 1967 Playlist follows:
