      The
      intramural
      basketball
      championships
      came
      to
      a
     
     
      close
      in
      the
      A-league
      with
      the
      Moosehead
      Hadders
      against
     
     
      Jason
      Kielly’s
      team.
      The
      Hadders
      became
      the
      1996-7
      A-
     
     
      league
      champs
      in
      a
      80-72
      victory
      over
      Jason
      Kelly's
      team.
     
     
      In
      B-league
      action
      Five
      Year

      squared
      off
      against
     
     
      Alumni.
      FYP
      lost
      to
      59-34
      to
      A/umni
      in
      the
      first
      game
      The
     
     
      second
      game
      between
      FYP
      and
      Alumni
      was
      a
      bit
      closer
      but
     
     
      the
      result
      was
      the
      same-
      Alumni
      beat
      FYP
      53-41
      to
      become
     
     
      the
      B-league
      champs
      (Alumni
      had
      to
      beat
      FY?
      twice
      in
      order
     
     
      to
      win
      the
      title
      of
      the
      double
      elimination
      playoffs)
     
    

    
     
      The
      game
      between
      the
      Moosehead
      Hadders
      and
     
     
      Jason
      Kielly’s
      squad
      almost
      turned
      out
      to
      be
      a
      like
      the
      last
     
     
      playoff
      game
      between
      the
      two
      sides-
      high
      tempers
      and
      fists
     
     
      ready.
      The
      teams
      were
      closely
      matched
      and
      throughout
      the
     
     
      game
      they
      traded
      the
      lead.
      This
      final
      was
      the
      best
      of
      any
     
     
      intramural
      games
      I’ve
      seen
      this
      year.
      It
      was
      too
      bad
      that
     
     
      intensity
      level
      resulted
      in
      tension
      between
      the
      referee’s
      and
     
     
      players.
      Some
      of
      the
      outstanding
      player's
      in
      this
      game
      were
     
     
      Matt
      McQuiad,
      Robbie
      Stuart.
      Peter
      Lawlor
      for
      the
      Hadder'’s.
     
     
      Jason
      Kielly’s
      team
      kept
      it
      close
      with
      hard-work
      from
      James
     
     
      Johnson
      and
      some
      amazing
      passes
      from
      Jason
      MacDonald.
     
    

    
     
      In
      the
      B-league
      game
      the
      crowd
      consisted
      mostly
      of
     
     
      FYP
      fans.
      Members
      of
      the
      A/umni
      team
      offered
      bystanders
     
     
      cash
      to
      cheer
      for
      their
      side.
      A/umni.
      however,
      didn't
      need
     
     
      fans
      last
      Monday
      night,
      they
      had
      Duncan.
      The
      big
      man
      scored
     
     
      thirty
      points
      in
      addition
      to
      lots
      of
      blocked
      shots
      and
      offensive/
     
     
      defensive
      boards.
      In
      the
      final
      game.
      although
      closer,
      /YP
     
     
      couldn
      t
      get
      the
      consistent
      shots
      they
      needed
      which
      resulted
     
     
      in
      their
      second
      loss.
      The
      playoff
      games
      before
      the
      final
      were
     
     
      interestingly
      enough
      much
      closer.
      The
      Corduroy
      Warriors
     
     
      lost
      by
      three
      to
      A/tumni,
      Dream
      Jeam
      went
      into
      overtime
      and
     
     
      lost
      to
      A/wmni,
      and
      the
      lowest
      seeded
      team
      in
      the
      playoffs
     
     
      (The
      Maulers)
      lost
      by
      three
      to
      A/umni
      in
      playoff
      action.
      The
     
     
      plavoffs
      this
      vear
      shows
      how
      close
      the
      teams
      were.
      The
      main
     
     
      difference
      in
      the
      B-league
      overall.
      however.
      was
      who
     
     
      dominated

      The
      intramural
      b-ball
      party
      at
      Piazza
      Joe's
      was
      pretty
     
     
      fun
      this
      year.
      I
      think
      the
      peanut
      fight
      was
      highlight
      of
      the
      night-
     
     
      oh
      yeah.
      there
      was
      a
      NCAA
      final
      on
      T.V.
      too.
      To
      wrap
      up
      the
     
     
      intramural
      b-ball
      here's
      a
      big
      thank
      you
