Three Point Shootout finds new life

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

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.

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.
