Pigeon and Lance take home the 2016 Trophy
"Larry and myself...on this day" became the social media moniker for broadcasting victory after victory. While the grammar may not be textbook, more often than not, this duo schooled the area's top teams on the cornhole court. And with some easy wins, difficult wins, and probably some wins that nobody knows about, Lance Madden and Larry Pigeon have earned Boston Cornhole's title of "2016 Team of the Year"! With several talented teams in the area, the Head-to-Head matches proved decisive in crowning this year's top team. Arguably, Henry and Em, Prew and Grew, and Joe and Jose join Lance and Larry at New England's top four teams. So let's compare the results from some of the tournaments this past year where these heavyweights were in the draw.
