Its first co-ed dodgeball tournament fundraiseron Sunday March 9, 11:30am-4pmat Crunch Gym (554 2nd Ave @ 31st St)

 

Congratulations to our winning team: VALIDUS PREP

 

The competition was fierce both on and off the court. The two red teams showed up with their headbands and matching outfits, Rabo Bank had their own shirts made, and Validus Prep teachers came in skirts. On the court, The purple Untouchables couldn’t quite muster a winning match, but had a shocking play when Rich crashed into the mirrors. Thomson Financial’s two teams put up a good fight against the two Red Teams, and barely lost to make it to the play offs.

 

The final match of Validus vs Red was neck and neck. The tension was so thick you could barely breathe. Validus hiked their skirts up high and came through with the victory.
