To be eligible for the BVBL Hall of Fame you must have played at least 5 seasons. Other categories include Contributors and Captains. Active players CAN be considered.
Andrew Calzone,
Player/Captain/Contributor
Lincoln Railsplitters (2008), 508 Athletics (2009-Present)
In the last decade Andrew Calzone has become almost synonomus with the BVBL. As a hardworking player, a dogged recruiter as a captain, and most importantly as a friendly face at the scorer's table. He has spent the last 8 years working as the 2nd in command to commish Leonelli. As he is moving into an adult life he is going to be just playing/captaining in the future so we felt the time was right to recognize him as a contributor. Do not overlook his contributions as a player/captain though. He has been named to the league's all Defensive team twice, and was once the North Player of the Week in a particularly loaded year. As a captain he has brought teams to the final 4 and pulled some memorable playoff upsets. Mostly though he has helped the league run with his tireless efforts, he's always willing to toss on a shirt and give a team a 5th and he's often had to diffuse goofy situations. In a long overdue honor, the newest hall of famer: Andrew Calzone...sometimes credited as Danny Suarez.
Eddie Capstick
Player
Agent Zero 2010, Flying Rhino 2011-2013, BOHICA 2014-
Eddie Capstick has literally grown up in the BVBL. In fact his first season he would miss occasional Agent Zero games because he was still playing AAU. He developed into one of the most solid and steady players in league history and he has the hardware to prove it: a three time first team all BVBL player, he was also named to to a third team all league selection- as well as being on the All Rookie Team his first year. Also when playing with Flying Rhino he was often the voice of reason in a sea of chaos. In 2014 he joined perennial league power BOHICA and it's no coincidence they have won 3 straight titles since he came over, he was the 2014 Playoff MVP. He is often willing to sacrifice his own offense for the good of the team but can get you 20 on any given night.

(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.
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. Previous Meeting: 7/17 BOHICA 67, Leftover Lasagna 55 BOHICA had a lower scoring effort due to the excellent defense of Leftover Lasagna.

8/21 Playoff Semis 6 PM (2) Put Some Respek vs (14) Leftover Lasagna 7 PM (1) BOHICA vs (5) Youngbloodz 8 PM Flint Michigan Mega Bowl Final! DVC Elite vs Australian Amigos 8/28 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.
