Chloe Carrillo ccarrillo@foghornnews.com The seniors’ reign in flag football is over. The Collegiate seniors played flag football the week of Oct. 30 for one of the last times this year. Brian Martinez, a senior who plays football every time it is offered, had this to say about the game, said his team played well as a unit. “It was really fun. We were all good teammates and we work as a team,” he said. The rival between all of the classes is an ongoing thing. This is especially true between seniors and juniors. The tournaments that were played were in…

Intramurals serve up good times

Chloe Carrillo

Team Just for Fun came back to beat Team K.P.R. in this year’s kickball tournament on Oct. 2. Team K.P.R. won two games while Team Just For Fun won three. During these five sets, Team K.P.R. was in the lead throughout most of the tournament. However, in the fifth set, Team Just for Fun really lived up to its name. Miriam Duran, a student who engages in many intramural sports, said she does so for several reasons. Being able to go out and play just for fun, meeting new people and encouraging others made my day. The gym was filled…

Chloe Carrillo

Chloe Carrillo ccarrillo@foghornnews.com Six-on-six volleyball kicked off the 2017-18 intramural sports season on Sept. 19.

Dominic Perez

Dominic Perez dperez@foghornnews.com Wiffle Ball ended the intramural activities for this semester. The strong turnout for the baseball-like sport surprised Intramural Director Kristy Urbick as this was a new activity added this semester. “I was very proud of the participation in intramurals this semester.

Intramural soccer championship goes into sudden death

Dominic Perez

Dominic Perez dperez@foghornnews.com There was once a soccer game played, a game so epic that it had to be played inside of a gym just to contain the super amazingness of this game. Team Max played Team White Ice in the intramural soccer championship game. This came after Team Max beat Team Fortino and was warmed up enough to take on the undefeated White Ice. The game started off very one sided as White Ice went up 2-0 by the end of the half. Then White Ice lost all control in the 2nd half, Team Max came rushing back with…

Basketball participation not quite a slam dunk

Dominic Perez

Dominic Perez dperez@foghornnews.com All basketball fans should be rejoicing as we are truly in the thick of all things basketball — the NCAA Tournament is in its final stages, the NBA playoffs are right around the corner and 5-on-5 intramural basketball is here. With all this basketball going on it’s troubling that there is another drop in participation for intramurals even with the gym floor finally being finished and being put to use. Last semester only 3-on-3 half-court games were allowed because of the semi-start of rebuilding the gym floor, but there was abundance of teams ready to play. This…

Tennis players have no love for the heat

Dominic Perez

Dominic Perez dperez@foghornnews.com Intramurals singles tennis tournament had a great turnout with 11 players signed up, ready to play and racquets in hand. Unfortunately time restrictions and the inability to have a second day due to several players unable to return the next day led to more of a “thanks for coming out, here’s a T-shirt” type of feel. Nonetheless the competition was highly competitive as well as very humid and hot, forcing one Gage Freeland to change from wind pants to shorts to deal with the heat. There was water and tennis racquets provided by the intramurals sports workers…

The championship game came after a two-game winning streak by the Thunder as Swaggy G were coming off a two-game rest period. In the end, rest won over momentum.

Against all odds Swaggy G player James Craig was ready for the challenge, saying: “We knew had to stay focused to help each other out because teamwork is important to win. We…

Team Goaty’s dominates at dodgeball

Dominic Perez

Dominic Perez dominicperez@foghornnews.com Only one day a semester, at a specific time and specific place, do you get to throw balls at people and not have anyone feel awkward about it. This semester, that meant 3:30 p.m. Feb. 27 in the gym for the intramural dodgeball tournament. It started with a four-team double-elimination tournament between teams Goaty’s, Max, Roland and BDBB. The first match between Goaty’s and Team Max offered an entertaining game, as Goaty’s was able to win easily through good teamwork to corner the last player on Team Max.
