Intramurals go 2-1 for the day

Men's Basketball

Your Hefty-Fit 'n' Strong Intramural Basketball team (2-0) is currently ranked #17 in the school. The team members are:

• Chow, Christopher F
• Ervin, Tyler H
• Miller, Michael R
• Rice, Joseph R
• Schneider, Larry A
• Shivanandan, John Patrick P
• Tomassi, Keller A

The finished the second week of play with a win against “Full Woodies” 50-19 after beating “Armstrong” 42-23 last week.

They play Sundays at 4:00PM so come out and support them!

Co-Rec Basketball

The Co-rec team, behind the shooting of its girls, took a significant lead.

Lack of depth for the 3 women needed on the court lead to their exhaustion during the second half. Final score CCF 41 HFA 35.

We NEED more girls to come out!

Games are played Tuesdays at 10PM

Dodgeball

Dodgeball is a co-rec sport and they are in need of players!

After starting out last week with a win by forfeit against the Knights of Towers, the HFA team faced a deep M6 (Maulding & 6th Street) team. The 5 (out of a max of 8) players from HFA won the first 2 games but dropped the following 3 to lose the match (best out of 5).

We are in need of players for this sport as well!

Games are Sundas at 3:00 PM.

Wallyball

Last week the team was a complete no-show. This week the opponent (Towers) was a no-show while we had 6 players on hand. There are still 4 spots open so if you’re interested come out Sundays at 7:00 PM.
