It’s been nearly four months since intramural basketball powerhouse “The Ball Chillers” claimed their second consecutive rookie division title, but team captain Chad Powell isn’t satisfied.
“We played well last year, but going 13-1 just sort of left a bad taste in my mouth.” says Powell. The Chillers bid for two consecutive undefeated seasons was spoiled by an unexpected 45-42 loss to league bottom-dwellers “Eight Guys Your Girlfriend Wants”.
With the season set to start in early September, Powell has already begun pestering his potential teammates to come to early morning practices at inconveniently located church gyms.
“We really need to work on our zone defense, plus it never hurts to get more shots up before the season starts.” reports co-captain Chet Blake, “Besides, 5:45 really isn’t that early and its only a few minutes on the highway to get down to the gym in Spanish Fork.”
Intramural officials have repeatedly asked the team if they would consider moving up to the intermediate division, but say they haven’t received any response from the Ball Chillers.
