Two dodgeball teams prepare for the semi-finals. Although not many students know about fall intramural sports, senior Austin Dowdall says, "You won't regret signing up. It will be the most fun you have in high school."

Players who are out wait for their teammates to either catch a ball or make a basket from across the court to bring them back into the game. Austin Dowdall says intramural sports allow students to "be active in the school and get to know their classmates."

Players watch the other games going on while they wait for their game to start. Junior Evan Parker says he and his team have a ritual of eating at McDonalds before and after every game to get them ready to play.

Two teams compete to see who will be crowned intramural dodgeball champion. Junior Evan Parker says he and his team were disappointed that they didn't win the championships, but are motivated to come back next year and win the prize t-shirts.
