In recent months, the intramural section of the WCC Sports Department has seen a lot of competitions as students are quick to sign up for specific events.
But none of the sports have seen as much hype and as much furious competition as dodgeball.
Ricky Logan, 23, an animation major from Ann Arbor, is captain of the Reservoir Dogs, the first-place team of the Fall 2011 season.
“Our goal is just to be better than everyone else,” he said, sharing one secret to his team’s success: “I don’t get why no one has gotten this yet, but if (the ball) bounces off the wall, you can turn around and catch it and get the thrower out.”
Sports Coordinator Erica Lemm says she sees this kind of passionate competition among a variety of teams.
“These teams are very intense about their dodgeball,” she said. “They are constantly picking the game apart, what they did and what the other team did.”
Co-captain of Reservoir Dogs, James Driessche, 20, also an animation major from of Ann Arbor, has refined his techniques to stay on top. He joked about not being too keen on cheaters.
“There’s this guy, whenever he’s the last one in, he goes and sits on the back wall and doesn’t move,” he joked. “Cheater, such a cheater. I’m looking forward to this extended, fun rivalry.”
Four teams competed on Jan. 22 in a tournament that will continue each Sunday for the following four weeks at 6:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at the Health and Fitness Center.
