PTriezy’s takes win at co-rec championship IM football game

PTriezy’s claimed the title Thursday as the best intramural co-rec flag football team at Central Michigan University.

The team beat P and V in a 12-10 victory at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

The PTriezy’s consists of eight physical therapy students and is named after Herm Triezenberg, chairman of the Physical Therapy Program.

“It feels awesome to have won,” said Remus graduate student Luke Voss. “Everyone on our team contributes.”

Last year’s championship was between the same two teams. That year, P and V won.

West Canton graduate student Caitlin Colwell said PTriezy’s have grown a lot in the past year.

“After playing together for a year, we knew how each other played,” Colwell said. “We also knew how P and V played. We knew what to expect.”

Monroe graduate student Craig Schramm helped block one of P and V’s passes toward the end of the game.

“We played hard all game,” he said. “Flag football is really fun. I enjoy playing with these people. They’re great people.”

Co-ed football

Assistant Intramural Sports Director Gary Baker said this is the third year the championships have taken place at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

“We wanted to give the participants a little more incentive to make it to the championship and have something to remember from their college career,” Baker said.

The coed intramural flag football teams consist of four men and four women per team.

Each time a woman scores a touchdown, it is nine points and, when a man scores, it is worth six.

Voss said he enjoys playing football with women.

“I feel like our girls are just as good as any other girls that play,” he said. “Our girls are amazing.”

Baker said close to 200 teams from CMU played in all four of the different leagues.

Thirty-two coed rec teams faced off against each other in the playoffs.

Last year, P and V traveled to the regionals at Ohio State University and beat three other competing teams. It then went to the finals.

Triezenberg said he is very honored and proud of his students.

“It was a great game, they played well,” he said. “They’re a fun group.”
