The Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Intramural Sports Office began the 2011 Fort Carson softball championships Wednesday at the Mountain Post Softball Complex. This year the teams will play in a double-elimination tournament to determine who will be the new post champions. Games will be played Monday-Thursday at 6 and 7 p.m. There is a possibility of an 8 p.m. game Thursday, depending on the progress of the tournament. Kareem Brathwaite, intramural sports director, said this year’s tournament was designed to give each team at least two opportunities to be successful. He noted, due to inclement weather and other conditions, the season was not played on a consistent level so he wanted to make sure each team had an opportunity to become the new post champions. “The tournament will be played a bit different than the regular season,” Photo by Walt Johnson Brathwaite said. “During the playoffs, Members of the Monday and Wednesday softball league receive their opening game assignments from the Directorate of Family if a game goes four innings it will and Morale, Welfare and Recreation staff Monday at the Mountain Post Sports Complex. be considered a complete game if inclement weather forces the game to be cancelled. an outstanding job to making this a great season of the rules, which meant things such as illegal Any game that does not complete for four innings for the Soldiers and it shows in the competitive bats could not be used, gave teams a better chance will be picked up from the point of interruption.” balance the league has. to compete in games.

McEvers said he has been hooked on sports ever since. What do you consider your best personal sports moment? When I (played football) in college, I scored the only touchdown of my collegiate career against Illinois Wesleyan. They were undefeated at the time and we were protecting an 8-6 lead. Our defender hit the quarterback, and I picked the ball off just before it hit the ground. That was the most exhausting 10 yards I have ever run. What is your favorite professional sports moment? I am a (Green Bay) Packers fan even though I am from Illinois. (Although) the Packers were the underdog (when I was growing up) I continue to root for them. We were training for our deployment to Afghanistan when the Super Bowl was on this year, and we didn’t know if we would be able to see it. But the brigade came through for us and we saw the game ... (and the Packers won). If you could change anything about sports what would it be? I am getting too old to play at a high level — I wish the young people would treasure it more and realize how good they have it because they are young. If you could meet any athlete and spend the day with them, who would it be? Muhammad Ali. He was such a great entertainer and all he had to go through outside the ring would probably make it good to have time with him. People who don’t know me would be surprised to know that ... I had a mullet in high school. I wore the blue jeans, the jean jacket and the heavy metal rock T-shirts. Courtesy Photo
