The intramural sports at Concordia are concluding an exciting season of games. Over the course of the school year, intramural sports provide students with an outlet for pursuing their athletic interests without committing to the demands of being a student athlete. 

The list of intramural sports changes every year, but this year included flag football, basketball, soccer, volleyball and bowling. This year’s intramurals were coordinated by Jedidiah Rufner and Jessi Borton. Borton noted that the intramural offerings are not limited to joining a sport for the year, saying, “We also offer a few one day tournaments with sports like spikeball, pickleball, beach volleyball and cornhole.”

Intramurals typically span four weeks of games, culminating in a championship. Borton said, “Our championship games are the biggest highlights of our year with Intramurals. My personal favorite was the Indoor Volleyball Championship game. The stands were packed, we had free ice cream, and the match went into three sets. It was so electric and thrilling to be there watching such an intense game with other students and friends.”

Rufner said, “My highlight of the intramural season would be our first intramural championship: the Flag Football Pepperoni bowl…We had more than 125 people show up, as well as a close game that ended with a 21-12 score!”

On April 13, the Intramurals season concluded with the Intramural Soccer Championship. The game was a night out for students that featured free tacos from Taqueria Hoy as well as prizes and giveaways from the Orange County Soccer Club. The winning team was Washed FC, which included eleven students. They took the lead 2-1 over Norris Superette to clinch the championship title, to the delight of the students in the stands.
