WHAT A SPOOKTACULAR SUCCESS
In an epic battle of titans Team Beautiful edged out Dodgeballers 4-2 in the women’s championship game. Megan Edgley led her team to the first win getting two of four girls out in one throw, but while celebrating was knocked out. Dodgeballers not to be out done came back and won two straight games. Seeing that their hopes may be dashed soon Team Beautiful came back to win the final three games to win it all. In the Open Division, Elastic Disaster Stretches all the way to a seven game series to take the first ever Dodgeball Spooktacular Open Title over the Pie Throwers.  A game that included fantastic catches and acrobatic dodging took every single minute and player available. In the end a winner had to be decided and Elastic Disaster came up big in the final game.
Congratulations to the Pink Ladies for the best team costume. Elton Mok decided team work was not for him, and wanted a championship shirt all to himself.

AND THE WiiNNER IS......
After three exciting filled competitive days of Wii Bowling, the competition has finally come to an end.  Three weekly winners were crowned as Corey Glass won week 1 with an outstanding 243, week 2 was won by Gillian Munter who bowled a 202 and finally week 3 was won by J’son Daughtry who bowled a 214 to narrowly defeat Danielle Voss, who was our overall Wii Bowling champion by accumulating over a thousand pins during her 3 day Wii Bowling escapade.   However, not surprisingly none of these valiant competitors could defeat Supervisor Zach Moncilovich’s record Wii Bowling score of 257.  Congratulations to all of these wonderful Wii-athletes and a special thank you to Brooklyn Pizza for hosting this wonderful event.

None the less, the tournament began at 9:45 with the hope and desire to attain the IM Champion Shirt for Table Tennis. In the womens bracket, Joleen Soares forced a 5th set versus Alina Siddiqui.

Tom Whitcomb had his number early on to force Jack into some compromising situations. Jack persevered in the end and pulled the shirt over his head in celebration.

DOUBLE D’S KNOCK DOWN THE COMPETITION!
On the chilly Monday night of October 21st, 2009, thirty-one teams of four came to Boardwalk Bowl to participate in the semi-annual MidKnight bowling competition. All skill levels came to play, but in our 9 pin no-tap tournament style game we were looking for the most pins knocked down after 3 games. It looked to be a sure win for team Shabbes with 850 pins in the first game and 851 in the second game. However, team Double D’s came through the back door and had one game of 916 pins! Double D’s stole the thunder from Shabbes winning with a total number of pins of 2445 vs. Shabbes’ 2351. Our individual best men bowlers unsurprisingly came from these two teams tied at 297 pins, Brandon Geick and Steven Sherman took home the prize. While on the women’s side Hannah Seibert bowled a high of 225!

Breindogs Power Their Way to Team Handball Championship

On Saturday, October 10th the Team Handball Tournament went on at the Recreation and Wellness Center. 13 teams participated in the event, but one outlasted them all, and that was the Breindogs. The Breindogs went undefeated in pool play gaining a number one seed and a bye in the tournament. They then steamrolled their way to the finals defeating Delta Tau Delta and Balls to the Wall. They faced LAX in the finals. LAX had just come off the most exciting win of the day in the Semi-Finals. They beat Smokeywear 13-12 in sudden death overtime, in the only overtime game of the day. However, this may have been their demise as the effort put into their Semi-Final game may have drained their energy for the finals. The Breindogs scored the first four goals against LAX and never looked back in the finals. Congratulations to the Breindogs, your Team Handball Champions, and thank you to all the teams that participated in the event.
