Basketball Intramural Season is Underway

Kicking off the second day of the month long intramural basketball games, the International Boys team took home a win after beating the Delta Gamma team. Intramural coordinator for Student Involvement, Caleb Lyght expressed the importance behind the creation of intramurals on Spring Hill’s campus as it builds the college’s community. Lyght said, “this gets people who are already involved in something to do even more things, and also gets people who are not involved to do something else on campus.”

This year, the intramural sports program has seen an increase of the Lady Badgers getting involved and creating teams of their own. Lyght said, “It’s a little minor, guess you could say increase, but we have two girls’ teams now, as supposed to last year. We only had one girls’ team.” The increase could influence more to join in the festivities, as involvement is the epicenter of events similar to this one.”

Black Student Union President Vaughn Terrel, ignited the first game with his team, Millionaires in Training. They won and defeated the Sigmas 60-26. Vaughn’s presence in intramurals goes beyond playing for his own team, as he agreed to coach the Delta Gamma team.

Vaughn said, “We didn’t get the results we wanted, but we did have a goal of scoring twenty points, and the girls did a great job at excelling at it. It’s been a wonderful week, and i’m excited for week two.”

Zariel Jordan, game official, participated to gain volunteer hours for her graduate school application. Jordan said, “I feel like I have all the power right now, because I know that this is the biggest intramural sport that we have at the school… People get mad and fussy at me, but I don’t care. I’m just here.” Jordan added by asking players to not “bribe the ref” due to concerns of monetary persuasion.
