Thanksgiving Day is just around the corner and everyone is getting ready to feast on food that was cooked by someone special. Instead of relaxing while your family members or friends cook the glorious meal, lend a helping hand. Don’t just sit around watching the football game while your mother or grand- mother does all the cooking. You will really have something to be thankful for once you see how much work goes into preparing a Thanksgiving meal. Then once you are all done you all can relax and watch a football game together.

Chronicle Page 15 Sports Monday, November 25, 2013 Strong communication scores a win By GREG AVETISYAN Staff Writer

The intramural volleyball tournament came to an end Tuesday night on Nov. 20, as team Spectres were victorious over team Yeaaa. The two teams competed in the A league fi nal in the Coussoulis arena. Team “Yeaaa” won the fi rst set 15-11 and began the second set with a 4-0 lead. However, the Spectres rallied back to win the second and deciding third set. “After being down a set and starting the second set losing, we used really strong communication to come back and win. Ev- eryone was just being positive with each other so we can keep having fun and it worked out,” said Shane Newton. The third set was anyone’s game as it ended with 26-25 when the ball fell to the ground between Gerado Regolado and Jas- t’s a great feeling to mine Keller.

There are two leagues within the tournament, A League being for the more competitive players and B League for the casual players. The B League fi nal was also held Tuesday night, as team “Sigma Chi” beat team “Sig Ep” in a match up of two frater- nities. The fi nal set went through all three sets until a champion was crowned. “It felt good after a comeback, to be close to losing and comeback to get the victory,” said Tomas Solis, the most valu- able player. Sigma Chi was at a disadvantage as they had only three players on the court against an opposing six. “Communication was the key to us wining today because we had less players than them. All of us had to cover a lot of ground,” said Solis. Sigma Chi was forced to utilize their strong communication skills by constantly moving around the court to reach every ball. Both champions from the A and B Leagues said communication and having fun were the keys to their success. The goal of the Intramural department was accomplished in another year of com- petition. “We just want students to go out there and have some fun in a competitive envi- ronment,” said Kristina Hall, site supervi- sor for the school’s intramural’s depart- ment. The intramural volleyball tournament is held every year and begins the third week of each quarter and fi nishes the tenth week before fi nals. Teams compete through the quarter and the two teams with the most wins are placed in the championship game. Playing in the league allows students to relive stress in between studying and fi n- ishing homework. Various intramural tournaments are held throughout the school year. Students are always able to sign up on the CSUSB recreational sports website by clicking on the Intramural sports tab and fi lling out the Greg Avetisyan | Chronicle Photos required form. Team Spectres from the A league and Sigma Chi from the B league celebrate with their championship T-shirts. The teams relieved stress and had fun with their peers before fi nals.
