March Madness Tournament continues

March Madness has fully taken over Cooper Athletic Center this week! Mandi Smith's team won the Women's Division by a margin of one point on Tuesday evening against The Under G's.

Teams competed with intensity to make it into the field of six for the tournament. Wednesday night saw Ramrod's first place strong-hold be snatched away by America's Most Wanted, and their 43 point defeat of Joe Alexander's team. 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. Long Range Bombers and Tim Conner's team went back and forth for 25 minutes of play. The Long Range Bombers pulled ahead with 3 minutes in the game to take the lead, mainly off the hot shooting of Denny Zimmerman. The second game of the night was also a close one between the Floyd HallStars and the Uptowners. With a minute and a half remaining, the quick thinking of Floyd team captain Chaz Elrod and his consistency from behind the arc put his team ahead and into the second round of the tournament.

Games will resume on Tuesday evening in Cooper with America's Most Wanted playing the Long Range Bombers at 7pm. Ramrod will hope to defend their 2008 championship title against the Floyd HallStars at 8pm. Wednesday evening at 8pm come cheer on the final two teams standing, as Intramurals takes over Randy Lamber Court in Cooper. You won't want to miss it!

Playground Legends Repeat as Champs

The Playground Legends repeated as Dodgeball Champions on Tuesday evening. They defeated The Disciples in three games in Cooper Athletic Center.

Dodgeball Season Concludes, Tournament Set

Tonight will see the end of the Dodgeball season. Several teams are on the cusp of a tournament berth, while one team saw their tourney hopes dashed on Tuesday evening. Matt Warner and his MC International Student team went winless again this season to fall into last place. Pure Athleticism could meet the same fate tonight if they cannot pull out a win over Tim Conner's Bone Crushers.

The Women's Division concludes tonight as well, with the Championship game being played at the conclusion of tonight's Men's games at 8:30. The Dodgeballerz look to defeat Team Total Domination in a best two out of three match to take home the championship and bragging rights.

In the final game of the evening, the Playground Legends had earned their place in the championship thanks to a decided win over Tim Connor's Big Sticks earlier that night. Brew Crew fought hard and won their second consecutive Wiffleball championship thanks to the consistent bats of Bryan Randall, Gary Hughes, Josh Ingram, Dustin Locke, Michael Bosco, and Calvin Rutgerson.
