By this time tomorrow we will be well on our way to determining the first ever champions of the Chicago Bocce League!

Come join us in person at the Chicago Bocce Club or tune in live on the Bocce Broadcast Network on YouTube as we take on the mighty Highwood Stallions coming off their impressive win over the league's number one seed The Elmwood Park Eagles in last night's semifinal match.

It's been a rollercoaster of a season and I would bet tomorrow's final has a few more spins, drops and maybe even a few loop-de-loops ahead of us as well.

The Stallion Battalion will be in full force so we need all of our Herd faithful to show up - in person or in the chat - and make yourselves known! We know we have the best fans in bocce - let's prove it tomorrow and cheer these Billy Goats on to victory!

Championship match is best of five format and starts at 1pm Central time with analysis and interviews starting at 12:30 on the BBN

You GOATta BELIEVE! 🐐💪

Your Bucktown Billy Goats are going to play for the first ever Chicago Bocce League championship!

In a thrilling three game match that was as much of an emotional roller coaster as our entire season was- the Goats found their way to persevere through huge deficits in game one and a near complete implosion in game two to finally re-emerge in game three in our "Big 3" formation with a clear determination and unified focus to punch our ticket to the dance!

A huge shout out to all the fans in the building and in the chat sending us encouragement and support - from Ohio to Sweden to Maryland to France - we heard our Herd, loud and clear! You are everything to this team and we're so honored to have you with us! 💙

Now we wait and watch as the Elmwood Park Eagles and Highwood Stallions take to the court tonight to determine our opponent for the first ever league championship. Mark your calender - the finals will be this Saturday afternoon at 1pm Central

Whoever we face, the Billy Goats will be ready. Head down, horns up - when the going gets rough, these Goats get tough! You just GOATta BELIEVE! 🐐💪🏼

Buck yeah! The Billy Goats are moving on! 🐐💪🏼

The Park Ridge Penguins put up a valiant effort with their Emperess away from the iceberg, but under the steady leadership of Alex P. Gara on the singles side with even keeled pointing and strong shooting from Andy Zimmerman and Billy Stripeik on the doubles side the squad fought our way through the entire Penguins roster to advance to the league semifinal against our division rivals the Fulton Market Butchers this Wednesday night!

Vito G Buonsante will be looking to keep up the improvements his team has seemingly made each week on their way to winning the first ever Chicago Bocce League South division title. Can the Goats keep the perfect sweep of the Butchers alive for a third match this season and punch our ticket to the first ever league championship?

Folks, the playoffs are here already and we're up against one of the toughest teams and rowdiest fan sections in the league in round one!

With the empress penguin Vanessa Garippo out of the mix the Park Ridge Penguins team isn't at full strength but they're still plenty powerful and more than capable of taking care of business with Dave Krone , Chris Prokop, and Mickey Niewierowski executing the play calling from General Manager Sean Krone. We know we'll have our work cut out for us if we're going to advance to the semi-finals next week.

It's time to BUCKle down and bounce back big after a loss to Beverly Jacks Bocce and show that we can bang with every team in this league when we put our heads down and point our horns in the same direction! 🐐💪🏼

Come join us live at the Chicago Bocce Club or tune in live on YouTube to the Bocce Broadcast Network to watch from wherever you are at approximately 1pm central, 20 minutes after the conclusion of match one between the Jacks and the Highwood Stallions !
