She also won the MVP in the Co-Rec Softball Championship with a great pitching performance. She is the 1st Female Athlete of the Year to come from the law school since 2002. Congratulations Jenny!
Team of the Year: Bad Apples
The Bad Apples had probably one of the greatest years for any team in this intramural season. They won four championships, the most by any single organization in Loyola intramural sports history. They won Men's Flag Football with an undefeated season, Softball as the lowest seed, Soccer, which ended Phi Psi's dynasty, and Co-Rec Basketball. Also, the Bad Apples finished runner-up in Men's Basketball and has had the last two Male Athletes of the Year in Michael Castaneda and Scott Gilliland.
Sportsmanship Teams of the Year: Phi Psi (Men's) and BSU (Women's)
Phi Psi competed in all the intramural sports this year in the Men's division and combined with Theta Phi in Co-Rec. They won two championships in Co-Rec Volleyball as a 5th seed and Co-Rec Soccer with an undefeated season. Phi Psi's best finish in the Men's Division was runner-up in Soccer, ending their six year championship run. Phi Psi had a finalist for Male Athlete of the Year with Josh Aranguiz.
BSU had some great performances in intramural sports this year in the Women's Division. Their best finish was runner up in Women's Basketball, losing in overtime to Theta Phi. They also had the league MVP in Women's Basketball and a finalist for Female Athlete of the Year in Atoyia Scott.
Congratulations Phi Psi and BSU!
Intramural Employees of the Year: Jess Megee and Angella "Angie D" Monroe
Megee and Monroe have been great help for the intramural sports program. Megee was one of top official's for every sport and as a player winning 3 championships. Monroe was one of our top scorekeepers and helped out whenever she was needed. Monroe and her partner Kirsten Thornton, last year's Intramural Employee of the Year, recorded all the stats for each league. Without them we would not have been able to produce stats to put up onto the website. Congratulations Jess and Angie!
Intramural Official of the Year: Brandon Parham
Parham became the head official for the intramural sports department after a year hiatus. This year, he officiated every important game and officiated the Men's Flag Football, Volleyball, and Soccer Championships; the Women's Basketball Championship and Co-Rec's Flag Football and Soccer Championships. He was named All-State Official in flag football by the Louisiana Collegiate Intramural and Recreational Sports Association (LCIRSA). Thanks Brandon for a great year!
