Intramural Basketball Championship

By Bonnie Uresti, Marketing Writer

On Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 60 teams battled it out in the Intramural Basketball Championship games held in the Texas State Student Recreation Center. Only a select few, won the honor of wearing the much esteemed Intramural Championship t-shirts.

The IM Sports champion teams include:
Co- Rec- "Slumdog Millionaires"
Fraternity- "Sigma Nu"
Women's- "Player's Inc."
Men's A- "Goonsquad"
Men's B- "Brew Crew"

"I thought we played a lot of good teams throughout the season. We had a couple of close games that could have gone either way, but we had some players step up and make key shots down the stretch," Ben Melear, “Brew Crew” member, said.

The "Brew Crew" honed in on their team skills by playing IM flag football in the fall. Yet, they get serious with basketball, which is their true passion.

The win was a great accomplishment for the "Brew Crew" since the playoffs were a struggle to get through.

"We were excited because that's all we talked about since last semester," Jacob Browning said.

The whole team stepped up their game, which propelled them into the championship games. "We won three of our playoff games by a combined seven points so a couple of teams had us pretty nervous," Everett Towell said.

The team is proud to wear the much coveted Intramural Champion t-shirts.

"Not everyone gets to wear them," Browning said.

"It was great winning because I've never won any kind of sports tournament so it was fun," Towell said.
