3v3 Basketball, Jayhawks rise as undefeated champions

The Geeks and Sneaks were comprised of all free agents who didn’t know each other before the tournament, while the Jayhawks were a group of three friends who added a substitute at the beginning of the tournament. The chemistry they had may have been the difference between the Jayhawks and most teams as they managed to pull away in both games, winning 11-7 and 11-10 to become the champions while also maintaining a perfect 8-0 record throughout the tournament. After some back and forth in the first game, the…

Del Mar Intramurals hold table tennis league

Mondays and Wednesdays are table tennis nights in the Gym on the Heritage Campus. As of now participation is scarce. Roy Moya, interim Intramural director, said it has been difficult to complete the league because many of the competitors have been too busy with work or have chosen to attend outside table tennis tournaments rather than continue to participate in the league. Because of this, the current table tennis nights are non-competitive matches that are more for enjoyment. Games will run from 5-7 p.m. This will go on for three more weeks, according to Moya. “The goal is to attract…
