Division C

Eastside PicksGroup Winner: Ball Out War2nd Place: Globo Gym Purple CobrasAnalysis: Ball Out War will come out on top of Division A, with help from key players like Adam Bergen and Jake Silpe, in pursuit of its third dodgeball tournament championship. The Globo Gym Purple Cobras will use strategic dodgeballing similar to what is preached by owner and founder of Globo Gym, White Goodman. Team $GMONEY$ hopes to advance out of its division and play the Money Team to show that G-Money is better than normal currency. Dat Team Doe will look to-wards All-Conference goalkeeper Matt DiPatri to make some acrobatic catches and keep its team in it. The Freshman Young Bouls are entering their first ever dodgeball tournament and should come out with at least one win.

Eastside PicksGroup Winner: Smithsonians2nd Place: Mani-FreshAnalysis: The Smithsonians will have no problem cruising through Di-

vision B. The team has come very close to a championship throughout their past dodgeball tournaments and is due for a championship. Mr. Maniscalco and his six sophomores, Mani-Fresh, should come in second in this division. However, Taking Care Of Business hopes to literally take care of some business out on the court and get a few victories. Sulfur Tungsten Silver will show off its close connection with the

elements and look to get some wins. As one of the better teams consisting of only girls, CHE Girls Basketball will fly under the radar in Division B and compete for a second-place finish.

Eastside PicksGroup Winner: Frank-Tops2nd Place: Dodge StyleAnalysis: Frank-Tops will finish on top of Division C by showing off their-tanks and their Frank. Dodge Style, a team of all sophomores, will styl-ishly dodge and take second place in the division. Mighty Ballers is a team consisting of all girls’ soc-cer players. It should be the best girls team in the tournament and should compete for second in this division. Blasian Persuasion will show off its culturally sound team and try to persuade the court ref-erees to give the team a win. The Slippery Six hopes to keep its grip on the newly waxed DiBart Gym floor and not slip all over the court.

Eastside PicksGroup Winner: Money Team2nd Place: The Pretty CrackasAnalysis: Money Team plans to show off its paper and yell “money” after every play in every match it plays. It will take first place in the division and show that its form of currency is the best. The Pretty Crackas have two pairs of siblings—the Dillons and the Swensons—and should take second in the division. D-Wing @ Ali-ciousness will show off its performing skills and make an impct in Division D. Curry Crew Sweg hopes to win a game or two in the tournament. Also, Krispy Kreme Sale Jan 9th will once again show great displays of shameless advertising out on the court.

Eastside PicksGroup Winner: Muffin Stuffers2nd Place: Toon SquadAnalysis: The juniors of the Muffin Stuffers will be on top of Division E and stuff some dodgeballs into their opponents. Toon Squad is a team of freshmen and the cool part about them is that they all believe they are cartoons themselves. They will take second in the division. Livin’ Like Larry could get a few wins in the division and show that the members are playing as Larry the Lobster would. Incrediballers will ball out on the court and get a win or two. Na-te’s Garden Tools plan to plant their dodgeball seed in the dodgeball tournament and watch it grow.

Sam Snyder and The Above Average Joes will show that they are above average at playing dodgeball and get some wins. The Body Hunters will literally hunt down the bodies of their targets and get a win or two.

Eastside PicksGroup Winner: Chin Strap2nd Place: BallcoholicsAnalysis: The football players of Chin Strap will strap on their dodgeball helmets and take first place in Division F. Ballcoholics will show their addiction to dodgeball and take second place in the division. Five and a Half Men will be playing half a man down and hope to get a win to fill the missing half a person.
