The Second Annual Thanksgiving Dodgeball Tournament drew quite the crowds last Monday evening. With over ten teams in two divisions signed up, the hard court quickly turned into a full-fledged dodgeball arena. Team Albacore walked away victorious, and undefeated throughout the round-robin tournament. In the Women's division, the Dodgeballerz survived, after a scare by teammate Mandi Smith in the midst of one match, to capture their second championship in the tournament in two years.

2010-10-06T11:08:00.002-04:00

The Cornhole tournament continues this evening, as Intramurals looks to crown it's second set of champions in as many weeks. The weather may have cooled off but the boards are heating up with the final games being played this evening on the Fayerweather Lawn. The final teams to compete are Ethan Staley and Myles Cordell, who are looking to get in their first games of the tournament as their wins have come from forfeits. Cory Kopec and Chasity Smith continue to dominate throughout and take on John Benson and Justin Kirkland in the first game this evening. Mandi Smith and Dixie Baum are the wildcards in the tournament with only one game under their belt but have a distinct advantage given their cornhole skills.

New Sand Volleyball Champions

2010-10-06T11:04:00.004-04:00

The sun had dipped just behind Lloyd Hall on Tuesday evening as Practice Safe Sets took to the court against Sandstorm, the defending champions. Behind the strong net skills of Myles Cordell and empowered by team cheerleader and captain Elizabeth Dunn, Practice Safe Sets took over as sand volleyball champions. The Maryville College Intramurals staff congratulates both teams on a hard fought game that saw great serves, spikes, and kills, with digs only seen in the Olympics.

Defending Champs Return to Sand Volleyball

2010-09-02T16:17:00.002-04:00

Sandstorm has returned in a flurry of wind and sand to Co-Ed Sand Volleyball, only with a slightly different look. Donald Rucker still leads the defending champions, however, the talents of AJ Cragar, Nick Iott, and Travis Folsom will not be present this time around.

A total of 11 teams signed up for this years season, which serves it's way onto the scene Tuesday, September 7 at 5:30. Games will last until Thursday, September 23.

Softball Season Continues On

2010-04-15T09:43:00.003-04:00

The weather has provided for a great backdrop the last two weeks, as softball is once again digging in at Springbrook park. There has also been quite the matchups, with Tim Conner's Big Sticks defeating the Coaches team last evening in a frenzied, back and forth hitting game. Several teams finally got on the board with runs this week as well, as the stiffness of winter has finally been shed. The biggest surprises have been on the ladies side of the schedule with five teams competing this year, and proving that seniority doesn't always prove to be what wins games. Two teams full of soccer ladies have shown they can compete and come from behind to win games. Twice this week, that has been the case. Regular season games wrap up next week and playoff races tighten to see who makes the very selective field this year.

March Madness Wrap-Up

2010-04-15T09:34:00.002-04:00

The men's championship game between Chris Carney's team and Tim Conner's team proved to be a close one. The rematch from a quarterfinal matchup took until the last few minutes to decide. Conner's team was overmatched though with the storied experience of Carney's team which included Asst. Basketball coach Kendal Wallace, former varsity players Tyler Fosnes and Carney, as well as ex-JV star Donald Rucker.

The Women's game was decided between teams who had not played in over two weeks due to forfeitures by their opponents. The Soccer Girls proved that their athleticism on the pitch was just as effective on the hard court. Jess Petersen led the team to their second consecutive championship in Intramural basketball.

March Madness tips off

2010-03-04T12:58:00.005-05:00

Below are some pictures from the first night of Intramural basketball.

Dodgeball concludes with two champions

2010-03-03T11:38:00.004-05:00

February has drawn to a close, thus finding Intramurals bidding adieu to Dodgeball. Mandi Smith's Dodgeballerz took home the championship in the women's division with a decisive victory over Lauren Miller's Ball Busters. Tim Conner's team, the Step-Dad's, took home the championship on top of their undefeated season in Dodgeball. When asked why he chose that name, Conner informed us that "It's because we beat you and you hate us."

March Madness basketball has started and will continue throughout the month, with eight men's teams and four women's teams competing this year.

Intramurals raises money for Haiti

2010-02-04T11:04:00.002-05:00

With Dodgeball registration this year, teams were asked to pitch in five dollars towards the campus-wide campaign to raise $10K for Haiti relief. Any additional dollar over that amount the team member donating money could earn an additional 100 points for the I-Cup. This incentive allowed several students who were high ranking in the standings to catch up a little on Chaz Elrod's secure hold on the number one spot. All total the initiative raised over $110 to go towards campus efforts. A huge thanks to Donald Rucker's team for bringing in the most money.

Games began on Tuesday night in Cooper and will run throughout the month of February, with the playoffs concluding the season.

Kickball Champs

2010-02-04T11:00:00.001-05:00

Keita Yamada's team beat the all-freshmen team of Monstars to win the Kickball tournament championship on January 28.

Intramurals in on relief work

2010-01-18T11:46:00.003-05:00

Kickball is still going on in Cooper, but in Bartlett the Intramurals staff is hard at work planning the spring semester's lineup of events. Dodgeball will be the first event to kick off the next semester. However, instead of canned food collection for this event, Intramurals has decided to do a monetary buy-in for the event. The money collected will not only get your team registered, but for every dollar your team donates we'll exponentially increase your points throughout the event. All of the money raised will go towards Haitian relief efforts through Partners in Health. The student body has set a goal of $10,000 to raise between now and May. So help support this great effort and be a part of something bigger than just Intramurals!

New J-Term Intramural Event

2010-01-07T09:31:00.002-05:00

The Intramurals staff has added a new Intramural event to J-Term this year! Co-Ed Kickball will begin on Tuesday, January 12 in Cooper. You need to register by Friday at 2pm to participate. And remember, it's co-ed so make sure you've got some people from the opposite sex on your team! We hope to see you in Cooper next week!

Three Point Shootout finds new life

2009-12-04T16:20:00.003-05:00

The three-point shootout competition normally draws a select group of students with the talents to shoot, under pressure, and come up big. This year saw that expanded with a large group of men participating and a larger than normal ladies group. When all the shots were taken and points tallied, Alyse Ray and Eddie Rivera were left standing as champions. Alyse was on the championship powder puff team, while Eddie just came off a soccer championship two weeks ago. Both are consistent participants in Intramurals and took their skills to Randy Lamber Court on Wednesday night to compete against Moriah Gross and Jimbo Paul from Carson Newman. Each year the Intramurals champions from both schools compete at halftime of the rivalry game to see who can come out on top. It was a split decision again this year with Alyse bringing the championship back to Maryville, while Jimbo won by one basket to steal the title from Eddie. Intramurals now takes a break during finals and the holidays. We'll see you all in J-Term!

Dodgeball Tournament Draws Crowd, New Champions

2009-12-04T16:06:00.004-05:00

The mini-Dodgeball tournament held before Thanksgiving break garnered quite the participation from both the men's and women's teams this year. Over 20 teams signed on to play and earn those highly coveted champions t-shirts. Derek Hunt's team took home the championship on the men's side while Ashley Sullivan's team dominated the pack yet again in the ladies pool. The smaller tournament-style offering was added at the urging of spring sports athletes so they can take advantage of competing against all of the fall sport athletes who just completed their seasons. This also afforded all non-athletes a chance to warm up to the larger Dodgeball season which is held in February.

Soccer Tournament Champions

2009-12-04T15:48:00.002-05:00

As the second half began, the Muddogs and quarterback Chaz Elrod pulled away from Logan Brady's team to end up the champions of flag football. With the win, the Muddogs went 7 and 0 in flag football, marking the second consecutive year that the champions have gone undefeated. Ricky Powell and Cody Wilson are the only two left from last year's championship team who were vital to the Muddogs win against Crouching Tiger. Logan Brady, captain of Crouching Tiger Hidden Football, received special recognition for his contribution to the good sportsmanship his team exhibited throughout the season and tournament.

A Soggy Mess of Sand

2009-09-18T09:10:00.003-04:00

The weather decided it wasn't going to cooperate this week in the forecast. However, the skies seemed to have different plans, as the clouds parted and the rain stopped just in time for volleyball games this week. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday saw teams competing on a wet, sandy court, bringing back memories of the summer for many students. It also proved that the Cash Money Defending Champion Millionaires cannot be beat, regardless of conditions. Several other teams have been surprising in their victories this week. Only one other team remains unbeaten, Practice Safe Sets, but they do have a draw on their record with the Jackhammers. The season concludes next week, with hopefully better weather as Fall makes it's entrance on Tuesday. Forfeited games will also make an attempt at being made up on Wednesday, September 23 in order to give all the teams a chance to make the eight team tournament. Tournament teams will announced on Thursday if all games are in by that point. However if inclement weather pushes games back, the tournament seeds will be announced on Friday afternoon. Remember, this is a single elimination tournament. So go big, or go home!

Come down to Lloyd Beach and cheer on the teams as they vie to get a berth in the tournament in two weeks!

Both Ramrod and America's Most Wanted earned first round byes in the tournament. That left four teams playing on Thursday evening for a chance to advance.

The Long Range Bombers pulled ahead with 3 minutes in the game to take the lead, mainly off the hot shooting of Denny Zimmerman.

Well they are if you're down on the Intramural field this week! The flag football tournament has seen some exciting competition, with two teams already eliminated from competition.

Go Hard or Go Home saw their first loss of the flag football season yesterday at the hands of the Fire Escape team. Following their first win of the season, the Benchwarmers were defeated by Kyle Ray and his team of Fighting Scrubnuts. Although they did not compete in last week's seeding games, the team of Kevin Newton and the Soggy Biscuits are proving to be the team to beat in this competition. They handily defeated Joe Gunter's No Names by the score of 53 to 37 yesterday.

Today's games will see whether The Wall can boot the Soggy Biscuits from play or if the upperclassmen baseball players will defeat the underclass players. In the 5pm game, the Benchwarmers will attempt to redeem themselves and pull off the upset to defeat the #1 seeded Go Hard or Go Home.
