Intramural Champs!

Congratulations to 'Free Lessons' (aka the Teachers) for their resounding defeat of 'Dear in Headlights'! Despite the best efforts of the crowd who was solely behind 'Dear in Headlights', they just could not match up with the overpowering depth of the staff team who was aggressively attacking the ball from all angles.

The game was highlighted with many stellar plays (including a huge one-handed block by 'Dear in Headlights' captain Devren Dear on a staff member who will go unnamed) and a lot of fun was had by both teams.

Today is the last day to sign up for Dodgeball (competitive, homeroom and/or girls divisions), come on out and see if you can stop the teachers from making it two Intramural Championships in a row!

Volleyball Intramural Finals Monday!

On Monday at 12:30 two undefeateted teams will be facing off in a match for the ages where one team will go down in the history books as Intramural Volleyball Champs of 2011 and will live off of the fame that will be sure to follow while the other team will have to deal with the devastating blow of defeat.

`Free Lessons` (the staff team) is the heavy favorite but you can never count out the underdogs `Dear in Headlights` as they are led by the standing front row attack of their captain. However, if `Free Lessons` brings out their secret weapon (Super Dave) for the finals though, do not expect this match to last very long!

Come out and cheer the teams on as they battle it out, t-shirt presentation and National Anthem for the champion team to follow the game!
