From Phillip Breaux's comical comments and Jarrett Gray's crowd-pleasing shots to Tim Smith's hard-playing tactics, Floyd's intramural basketball has a little bit for everyone.

The Slackers and the Real Splitters went head-to-head in the first game on Feb. 23.

Within the first minutes, everyone knew it was going to be a close game. The ball went back and forth between both teams, as did the score.

Brandon Buford of the Real Splitters got the two points to tie it up 29-29 at the end of the first half.

Coming into the second half, the Slackers scored four more times in hopes of running away with the game, but it seemed that the Real Splitters had it in their heads to win. The game ended with a score of 46-45, and the Real Splitters came away victorious.

"It was a hard-fought game. Both teams played 120 percent. Our team showed a lot of heart. I'm really proud of them. It was totally a team effort," Buford said.

The second game of the day was a match-up between the Angry Sheephearders and Trailer Trash. The game was very fast paced. It didn't even slow down when Smith, who was already playing with a hurt shoulder, came down hard on his knee and had to leave the game.

Rick Osbourne and Trailer Trash were playing very hard, but the skill of the Angry Sheephearders could not be stopped.

During the second half, the Angry Sheephearders continued to dominate the court.

Austin Gattenby, who took Smith's place, made an amazing shot for the Angry Sheephearders, but Gattenby also took a little spill, allowing some comic relief from the nail-biting game.

Trailer Trash played very hard the second half, not willing to give up hope. The final score was 37-29 with the Angry Sheephearders taking the win.

"It's hard not to score 20 points with dazzling passes by Seth Ingram all the time," Gray said, nodding towards Ingram.

The Double Elimination Tournament begins on March 16 at 1:30 p.m. in the gym.
