Division A is headed by the reigning champions, team Ken Smith. Attempting to challenge them are Not an Exit, Dodge Mahal, The Flying Llamas and 6God. Truly, they look primed to dominate this division. With a mix of baseball players like Andrew Bowen (‘16), basketball players like Olin McClendon (‘16) and other all-around athletes, they are a very well-rounded team of seniors. Dodge Mahal, a team of sophomores, performed admirably last year in their first tournament. They will likely feast on the rest of the division as well, with their hardest matchups being those against the champs. While not an Exit is highlighted by players like Rob Bica (‘16) and Mr. Hulme, they will have to prove themselves against some tough opponents if they hope to advance. Two more teams of sophomores, The Flying Llamas and 6God, are equally unproven, so any win for them is a feat due to such difficult opponents. Look for Ken Smith to win out easily, with a potential Dodge Mahal or Not an Exit wild card win.
Division B features seasoned veterans Chinstrap as the favorite to grab the division title. The team features top athletes like Vinny Team Name Guckin (‘16) as well as big arms like Jake Babroff (‘16). Look for Chinstrap to ride this combination far into the tournament. Chinstrap Don’t be surprised to see Your Mom’s Favorite Dodgeball Team surprise many and challenge Chinstrap for the top spot in the division. The Josh duo of Kagan (‘17) and Snyder (‘17) will look to carry the team to victory. The Boys will use their running skills to dodge as many balls The Boys as possible. Cross-country star Aaron Groff (‘16) will look to run the other teams into the ground. Your Mom’s FavorRaksh is an enigma in the tournament. Look for Christian ite Dodgeball Team Termine (‘17) and company to try to grab some wins. Big Daddy Semus Mathemat- Raksh ics will look to calculate the trajectory of the balls and use that to their advantage. Mr. Semus will be the wild card on the team. Big Daddy Semus

One of the most competitive divisions for this fall dodgeball tournament has to be Division C. Bruise R’ Us comes in with a new and improved squad, led by Anthony Uciferri (‘16). Mike Likogiannis (‘16), after about a year of building up, should be a great asset to the team. They will challenge Skillz That Killz, led by Skyler Colton (‘17), which came in second place in last year’s spring dodgeball tournament. Eastside has high expectations for the team to reach the finals once again. New team member Brandon Roche (‘16) replaces Will O’Kane (‘17), an interesting move made by the team. Throwsama Been Lobbin’ has shaky potential besides its creative team name. However, we could expect the unexpected from Viggy Vasu (‘16). Ratio Game Strong is led by Jason Fisch (‘16). The team consists of many members of CHE Hacks, including Bogdan Vitoc (‘16), so we can expect some smart strategies to be utilized. Jenn Andalora (‘16) leads 50 Shades of Shady, a new team with some experienced players including Girls Varsity Soccer star Alexa Beatty (‘16) (Sorry Lex, can’t use your feet for this one).
