In the Beginner’s finals, Mellon
beat Baughman in an extra game
after splitting games 15-7 and 11-
15. The final game was 11-5.
“I’ve been playing racquetball
off and on for about seven years,”
Mellen said. “However, this is the

Wednesday flag football champi-
onship game between The Case
and The Playmakers proved.
For the second year in a row,
The Playmakers from NE Campus
will compete in the college level
flag football championships
Four of the players from the
team, Nick Alessandra, Drew
Bowers, Paul Cioffre and Chris
Danobeytia played last year in the
competition.
Other teammates are Shawn
Ezzo, Shawn Knight, Curt Moore,
Jason Steinsultz, Dan Trent and
Troy Young.
The championship game started
uneasily because the opposing
team, The Case, had only five of its
team players there.
Rules state each team must
have at least six players. The Case
brought in recruits from another
team, which is against the rules.
However, The Playmakers al-
lowed them to play.
Two halves and four touch-
downs later, The Playmakers won
the game 26-0.
“This was a very intense
game,” Trent said. “Everyone really
had to keep his head in the game to
make our (defensive and offensive)
lines work.”
Whatever The Playmakers did
to keep their lines together worked.
Almost every attempt at passing
was either blocked or intercepted.
The Playmakers who scored
were Cioffre at the beginning of the
first half with a extra point by
Moore.

class.”
In the intermediate bracket fi-
nals, Dunavant beat Douglass after
tying in their game. The final score
was 15-10, 3-15. The tie breaker
was 11-10.
All winners received T-shirts,
but some contestants played for a
more important reason.
“Everyone who played got an
extra 10 points on his or her final
class grade,” an undisclosed source
said.

Players compete in a recent racquetball tournament Jason Mellon, Brent Dunavant and Nicole Holmsted.
in three divisions on NE Campus.
After playing three straight
games of racquetball in a row,
what’s the one thing that everyone
can agree on?
“It’s tiring,” Jon Baughman, a
finalist in the beginner’s bracket,
said.
“At the beginning of the tourna-
ment, you can go all the way
through your match against some-
one without having to take a break,”
he said. “But by the time you’re at
the finals, you feel like you need to
stop for water between every set.”
The tournament was divided
into three categories. For the men,
there were beginner and intermedi-
ate brackets with eight and nine
players in each respectively.
Baughman was one of four men
who made it to the finals, Friday,
Nov. 8. Jason Mellen was his oppo-
nent in the beginner bracket and
Brent Dunavant and Dan Douglass
were the two finalists in the inter-
mediate bracket.
A women’s bracket was the
third category available for play.
However, only two women, Nicole
Holmstead and Karen Wong, arrived
to compete. Their game was the fi-
nals for the women. Holmstead
beat Wong 15-7, 15-4.

Shortly after gaining the ball
from The Case via interception,
Moore scored a touchdown and an
extra point for a total of 14-0 before
the half. Both touchdowns were
thrown by Trent.
After the half, two more touch-
downs were made, this time by
Cioffre and Bowers. Neither extra
point was successful.
Because of its win, The
Playmakers will compete at UTA
Nov. 23.
The team is optimistic about
their chances of winning.
“I have a feeling we are going
to do much better this time around
at the championships,” Allesandra
said. “We’ve been before so we
know what to expect.”
His teammate, Bowers, was
quick to agree.
“Last time we went, we
weren’t as experience as we are
now,” he said. Now that we have
had the practice this semester, com-
bined with what we know from last
year, we’re going to do really well.”
