We Got Dodgeballs!!!

12 of 'em. We got 12 8.5" dodgeballs for our practices. These are the same balls that are going to be used for the tournament in February. Playground quality and nothing less.

Here's some photos from a spontaneous dodgeball gathering before classes start.

Don't forget the 1st Dodgeball Club meeting is Thursday, January 19th at 9pm!

OUR DODGEBALLS HAVE ARRIVED! WE ARE IN BUSINESS!!!

Dodgeball on CBS News!

At the practice tournament on December 30th, sportscaster, Joyce Jackson, from WUSA9 was there along with cameraman, Mark, for a segment on the tournament and the revival of adult dodgeball. The segment will be shown sometime soon (hopefully) after football playoff madness subsides.

Check out the pics of James and his sidekick, Neil, talking it up for the TV cameras!

History Lesson 2

With some ingenuity and a large amount of black ink, jerseys were created for the intramural tournament.

Notice the tenacity on Neil's face!

History Lesson 1

The fellows of the AND1 dodgeball team came together during the fall of 2005 for an intramural dodgeball tournament held at St. Mary's College. The played in the A division and went undefeated during the regular season (not counting the forfeit due to a scheduling error). The team was narrowly knocked out of the 2nd round of the single elimination playoffs.

The team is blurrily shown here pre-homemade uniforms.
