INTRAMURALS Hall Competition Anyone? This year the Intramural events were or- ganized by Saunders Vickery and Sheri Powell. Intramural activities began at the beginning of the year when the new fresh- men class came in. The competition con- sisted of four events: ping-pong, frisbee throw, volleyball and free throws. There was a prize awarded to Spencer I G for the most original costumes. This hall was very creative in choosing what to wear for the evening ' s activities; they came as the California Raisins. Throughout the year, there were all types of events to satisfy the student body. The two main tourna- ments this year were volleyball and bas- ketball. Both of these activities were full of fun competition. Spencer II won the vol- leyball tournament and Woodson IV won the basketball tournament. This year there was even an Easter Egg Hunt. Area businesses helped out with this event by donating prizes to put in the eggs. The year came to a close and the points the halls accumulated were totaled up. Spencer II clinched the first place prize for the year while Rose and Woodrow Ter- races, together as a team, was not far behind in second place. Anne Hess cheers her team on as they compete in the Volleyball tournament. Spencer I G come dressed as the California Rai- sins. Winners of the most original costumes for the night ' s events.

SKIING Take a Chairlift to Fun . Snow, wind, ice and cold — these are only a few of the things to overcome when MBC students track to the slopes. Every- one knows, especially at MBC, ski sea- son is just around the corner when over half the campus is praying for snow and hoping at the same time they can make it to the mountains before they get snowed Wintergreen seemed to be MBC ' s favor- ite resort this year, but let us not leave out Massanutten, Showshoe, Vail, Aspen and any other place that the MBC commu- nity can escape to. Some people choose to take lessons and sign up for the ski class that is offered through the Physical Education Department. Where- as others decide to snowplow off on their own. Whether taken as a class credit or going to the slopes just for fun, MBC stu- dents and their friends had a great sea- son for skiing. Some of the slopes en- countered were everything from the Skid- der Bunny slope for the beginners to the Devil ' s Elbow for those who may be a little more daring. Also in the winter MBC students like to ice skate. Ice skating is a great way to have fun and enjoy the time that the students have away from their studies. Two students relax in ttie lodge after a day of skiing. Concentration is a big part of staying on tfie blades Instead of on the buns. tt ' ltmi -fc- r ' Hi ♦ -C= . 182 SPORTS

TENNIS In the End . . . They re Winners!!! The 1987-1988 MBC tennis squirrels , led by coach Lois Blackburn, finished up their season with a record of 17 wins and 12 losses showing definite skill and talent. There has never been a tennis team at MBC that has gotten along with each other better than this team. The team is very close this year, we are all supporting each other 100%. We had a lot of tough matches but the pain and the practice paid off stated Alli- son Griffen, a junior from Houston Texas. Griffen also thinks it is important to remem- ber that ever since Coach Blackburn has been at tvlBC the tennis team has had a win- ning season. Awards, presented at the Sports Banquet, were given to Karin Whitt for Most Dedicated and Most Valuable Player and to Susie Mor- ris for Most Improved Player. All of their hard work and stiff competition paid off because in the end MBC hit full swing and captured the ODAC (Old Domin- ion Athletic Conference) title. This is the first time any MBC team has won an ODAC cham- pionship since joining the conference in 1982. Five of the team members this year were named to the all conference team. These players include; Karin Whitt, Libby Miller, Allison James, Mary Irvin, and Collier Andress. Team member Karin Whitt states The ODAC championship win was the best way to end my year. Even if I don ' t make Nationals, it couldn ' t possibly compare to the thrill of winning ODAC. The things I will miss the most after graduation are the friendships I have made on the tennis team. WAY TO GO MBC TENNIS TEAM!! Karin Whitt, leans into her forehand shot to give her ball greater speed. 184 SPORTS
