Anyone who has seen the intramural league play this year will be impressed with the talent level and the overall play of most of the teams. For the past two years that wasn’t the case as Old School, the two-time defending champions, was the class of the league. So dominant was Old School that the intramural league here was contested for one reason. It was not to determine who the champions would be, that was going to be Old School, and everyone knew it. The league was being played to see who would be the team that had the honor of losing to Old School in the championship game. Old School was led by the terrific trio of Ed Jackson, Kenneth McKinley and Antonio Green, but make no mistake about it, there was much more to this team than those three players. Old School was loaded with talented, smart and fundamentally sound players throughout its roster which made defeating them as likely as a lunar eclipse. The reason Old School was able to put together the team it did was because Jackson, McKinley and Green did not have a unit team to play with, so they were allowed to enter the players’ pool. This year there is a team representing Old School, but Jackson, McKinley and Green are playing with other teams, which has spread out the talent, providing a more competitive balance. In the past two years there was no question who the favorites were to win the intramural title. This year the question is who will be the last two teams standing and who will succeed Old An intramural basketball player launches a jump shot during intramural basketball action School as the post champions.
