Dr. Ives Tournament 2012

Boutin & Briscoe played the Tanakaholics (named after Professor Clay Tanaka) in the semi-finals.  With Tanakaholic star E.J. Brown '12 fouling out and sitting on the bench in the final minutes of regulation and overtime, Boutin & Briscoe pulled out a close win.  The final was exciting with Boutin & Briscoe squeaking out a victory over the “Kings” (King Hall students wearing Kings jerseys and all).

Mo Sakrani '12 and Erik Cuadros '12 were tournament chairs with Mo announcing ( a la Chick Hearn) the final game.  Scott Judson grabbed the mike a time or two to add his own two cents.  Unfortunately, the awards ceremony was abbreviated because the battery ran out on the microphone.

Professor Peter Lee, who cleared up academic eligibility issues to participate in the tournament, won the faculty “knock out” competition.  Professors Clay Tanaka, Cappy White, and John Hunt, as well as Academic Success Director Chris Ide-Don and Events Manager Gia Hellwig, provided extremely tough competition.  I enjoyed attending the tournament and watching alums, students, and ringers fight it out for the coveted Dr. Ives championship trophy!
