LW Contributor
The semi-final games of Saturday vs. Sunday and Tuesday vs. Thursday concluded with Tuesday’s Ellie West and Roger Bennett facing off against Saturday’s Connie Adkins and Paul Shellenberger for the Summer Bocce Ball Championships on Oct. 8. What came next can only be described as The Massacre at Mission Park.
The game began at 10:30 a.m. At 10:36 a.m., the score was eight to zero. By 10:42 a.m., the game was over. Now I know how Custer felt. Connie and Paul completely dominated their league, the semi-finals and the championships. The club congratulates the two.
As usual, referee Gene Vesely called an excellent game, kept the ball rolling and spoke to all the fans.
