Club dodgeball brings club members together

As the North Gym filled up with club members practicing their throws, senior Dalton Juenemann blew the whistle declaring the announcement for the Club Dodgeball rules.

This year, every club brought diapers to support the Interpersonal Skills fundraiser. Student Council organized the game under a bracket and a double elimination system, so everyone had to lose twice to be out.

“I’m excited for how tough the competition is going to be this year,” German Club president Frank Felber, senior, said. “[There are] a lot of tough people; it’s not going to be easy.”

But it wasn’t all about the competition or winning for the other teams.

“It’s always just fun to see the other clubs,” Business Professionals of America president Emma Devane, senior, said. “Normally for our club meetings we just see our club, but when we have club dodgeball and things like that, we get a view around all of the other clubs and kind of see who’s in them and what they’re about.”

As the competition heated, BPA won a tiebreaker against Tribe. However, their winning streak came to an end when they went up against Ultimate Frisbee.

“A whole bunch of us got out really quickly,” Devane said. “So then everyone else wasn’t paying attention and would get out themselves, or we just kind of realized they had the whole team in and we only had half.”

Even though Ultimate Frisbee Club wasn’t confident about winning, they went home with a trophy.

“It was fun, all the way through, great sport on our team,” senior StuCo representative Michael  Everett said. “It’ll always be fun to look back and remember how much fun we’ve had together.”
