Intramural basketball Many of the fall intramural sports have begun, and several events are scheduled for November.

The regular 3-on-3-basketball season is almost over. Games have been played on Thursdays at 1:30 p.m. in the gym. At the conclusion of the season there will be a tournament with seeds determined by team standings.

At press time, Team ABCD was leading the pack with a record of 4 wins and no losses. Team XYZ was in a close second with a 3-1 record and Faculty/Staff was trailing them with a 2-2 record. The remaining teams all had 1-3 records (See sidebar for scores from the first four weeks of play.)

Co-ed flag football began on Oct. 8, and games are being played on the soccer field every Tuesday at 1:30 p.m.

The FIT program (Fitness Incentive Team) is also underway and so far has been very successful. Bridgette Stewart, the intramural administrative assistant said, "Because of the increased enrollment, the FIT program has had record participation." Intramural basketball

There is also a tennis tournament underway that began Oct. 2. The tournament features three skill levels: beginner, intermediate and advanced. This helps keep the tournament balanced.

Participants are drawn from a hat to determine who their first opponents will be and players must contact one another to work out a time to play.

This tournament takes place each fall and spring semester.

Ultimate frisbee is being offered for the first time this fall, but it may be cancelled due to lack of interest. According to intramural director David Mathis, only one student came to the first game. Therefore frisbee might be cancelled if more students do not show interest Wednesday, Oct.16.

The Turkey Day Walk/Run is scheduled for Nov. 13 at 12:30 p.m. by Paris Lake; registration begins at noon that day.

At this event, participants will estimate how long it will take them to complete a lap around the lake. The male and female with the closest estimate will win a $25 gift certificate to Hickory Hams.

There will be an intramural sports banquet on Nov. 19. At that time, all awards from the intramural season will be handed out.
