BVBL Champions

BO-THREE-CA

(1) BOHICA 60, (14) Leftover Lasagna 49, BOHICA brings it home for their third title in as many years. Leftover Lasagna's Miracle in Mendon falls short. Leftover Lasagna has been among the best teams in the league the last 3 years, this year after a regular season marred by attendance issues they turned it on in the playoffs and reached their first finals. Utilizing their usual tough D and rebounding they kept it very close early- and made a furious run late, but in the beginning moments of the second half BOHICA reminded the league that you have to beat the champ if you want to be the champ with their patented avalanche.

Sam Longwell (17), Ryan Sheehan (15) and Ryan Cain (13) shouldered the offensive load, and old standby Joey McCann added 7 early to get BOHICA off and running.

Leftover's Eric Guglielmello lead all scorers with 19. "Guges plays harder than anyone in the league" said BOHICA Captain Anthony Leonelli, "you cannot prepare for as hard as he plays and you know he's just going to keep coming." Leftover also got 12 from Dom Mastascusta.

BOHICA claims the league's first ever 3peat. This is also their 6th title in the last 9 years (2016, 2015, 2014, 2012, 2009, 2008). Joe McCann and Anthony Leonelli have been a part of 6 titles. Ryan Cain 4, Ryan Flynn 3, Eddie Capstick 3, Derek Retos 3, Ryan Sheehan 3, Zack Valliere 2, Sam Longwell 2, and Denis Tobin (not pictured) 1. 

BOHICA has not lost since Week 2 of 2014. Running their streak to 31 straight games. 

Sam Longwell won the Harambe Award as the Finals MVP. He was also named the playoff MVP.

Finals Preview

On Sunday August 28 the BVBL will conclude it's 9th season with a much anticipated finals matchup. #1 Seed BOHICA is looking to put away the league's first ever 3 peat, while Leftover Lasagna will play in their first ever championship game in their 3rd year of existence.

6 PM
#1 BOHICA vs #14 Leftover Lasagna 



The Path Traveled:
Leftover Lasagan had a disappointing 2-5 regular season marred by injuries and attendance issues, but they turned it on in the playoffs with victories over the Birdmen, Heat Check and Put Some Respek to punch their ticket to their first finals. 

BOHICA is sitting at 10-0 after playoff wins over The Suns, Washed Up, and Youngbloodz but have looked particularly vulnerable of late. This is their 8th finals appearance in 9 years and sixth in a row.

Playoff Finals 

Seeding:
With 3 divisions we decided to go with a power seeding format. Basically a team got a point for a win over a Central Team, 1.5 points for a win over a West and 2.0 for a win over an East. In situations where teams had the same amount of points head to head was the first breaker, then strength of schedule. Leftover lost their tiebreaker by virtue of having a forfeit which makes you automatically lose all tiebreakers. 

Bracket holds. Remember we will move teams up and down for next year based on performance. Also remember we voted on this at the league meeting, show up if you don't like it.

Ryan Cain, Player

BOHICA (2011-Preset)

One of the finest all around players in the history of the BVBL Ryan Cain joined BOHICA in 2011 and immediately became one of the most feared scorers on the circuit. His award haul is impressive. From being the League MVP and Playoff MVP in 2012, to being 2nd team All League in 2011, 2013 and 2014. Most importantly he was a member and integral part of the 2012, 2014 and 2015 league champions, often single handedly willing his team to playoff wins. In his first year of eligibility: Ryan Cain.

Jay Snow, Player

Banner Bar/Birdmen (2010-Present)

Often lost in the shuffle of the successful Birdmen franchise is Jay Snow...but how clutch is he? He's three times been named the league's player of the week and twice that has come in the playoffs. Snow is good in the regular season but in the playoffs he is one of the most clutch players in the league's history...think Robert Horry. His accolades are impressive (2nd team All League in 2015 and 2013 and Fourth Team in 2011 (when there were no divisions). A crafty scorer with big time range- Snow was a key member of the 2011 Champion Birdmen squad.
