Second Annual Dodgeball Tourney Draws Crowds, Champions

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.

Ghering, Cordell Take It From the Top of the Key

Myles Cordell continues his streak of championships in Fall Intramural events with his domination in the three-point shootout. Kylie Ghering stormed back in the final round to snatch the first place prize from defending champ Alyse Ray and former winner Chelsea Sexton. They will compete on Wednesday evening at Carson-Newman at half-time of the women's game for the bragging rights in this annual battle of colleges.

Diamond Scots Take Home Football Championship

Touchdown MP, led by captain Jeremey Goolsby, defeated Chaz Elrod's Muddogs in the championship flag football match to upset the repeat. Touchdown came back from a season marked with forfeits to win the championship and sit atop the eight team conference.

Sophomores Repeat as Juniors

The Class of 2012 once again proved they were the best class in Powder Puff Football during Homecoming week 2010. Led by quarterback Kat Harmon, the Juniors beat the Freshmen class to win the first game by a score of 50-0. The Seniors eeked out a victory over the Sophomores to meet the Juniors in the Championship game. The Sophomores defeated the Freshmen to take third place. The Seniors made a valiant comeback but fell short in their loss to the Juniors in the Championship.

Cornhole Champions...

Ethan Staley and Myles Cordell defeated Ace Holes (Cory Kopec and Chasity Smith) to take the Cornhole Championship in early October.

Cornhole continues

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

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

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. The field will be cut drastically for the playoffs the following week. Come out to LLoyd Beach and enjoy the action, as friends will become competitors and relationships are put on the line for the exclusive right to sport the first Intramural Champions t-shirts of 2010-2011.

Softball Season Continues On

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

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

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

Dodgeball concludes with two champions

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

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

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

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

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!
