After an exciting season of intramural flag football, a new champion has been crowned. The OCCC Dream Team defeated team You Know 48-34 to become league champions of the 2010 flag football season.

Coming into the title game, You Know held a league best 6-0 record as the OCCC Dream Team was a close second at 5-1, with the only loss being to You Know earlier in the season.

In the final week of the intramural flag football regular season, the undefeated team You Know took the field against the winless Spartans.

Supremacy was seized as You Know went on to win 54-12.

A group fitness pass, which offers 12 different fitness class options, is now available to students, staff and members of the Recreation and Fitness Center for $50 a semester, Sport and Recreation Specialist Eric Watson said.

The group fitness pass offers more than $100 in savings depending on the classes you participate in, according to the OCCC Fall Fitness and Enrichment Programs guide.

The pass offers unlimited use of different fitness classes for one rate, Watson said. Group fitness passes can be purchased at the front desk in the Recreation and Fitness Center, with a valid student ID or Recreation and Fitness Membership, Wellness Center Attendant Kadi Crenshaw said.

The Oct. 15 flag football game between the Spartans and The Crew showcased great passing and great defense in a one-sided matchup that ended with The Crew handing the Spartans their fifth consecutive defeat with a 36-6 victory.

Jamaal Surrell set the tone for The Crew early in the game by intercepting a Brandon Curry pass and returning it for a touchdown.

Flag football drama continued Oct. 8, with another nail-biting finish as seconds ticked off the clock.

Trailing 14-8 with under six minutes left to play, the Smash Brothers scored two quick touchdowns to defeat the Spartans 22-14.

On a key third down play, Smash Brothers quarterback Justin Howell found Dusty Rose open on a comeback route.

Replacement quarterback Josh Vanover proved to be the deciding factor in leading a come-from-behind 36-31 victory for The Crew over the Thunder during the Oct. 1 intramural flag football game on campus

Vanover regularly plays for You Know. He came in late during the first half to play quarterback for The Crew after the team fell behind 24-0 in week three of the flag football season.

He led The Crew to their first win of the year.

A brotherly connection proved to be the difference as flag football team You Know finished with a dramatic triple overtime victory over the OCCC Dream Team 36-29 on Sept. 24.

Jordan and Josh Vanover’s four combined touchdowns led their teammates to a victory in the week two flag football matchup.

The Thunder rolled over the Smash Brothers 22-6 in the opening flag football game of the season on campus Sept. 17.

But the game didn’t start out as a runaway.

In the heat of an Oklahoma summer day, the two teams took the field on the southeast edge of campus in hopes of starting the season off on the right foot.

Future college students, not just those already on campus, are targeted for activities by OCCC’s athletic programs.

Head-start basketball is just one of the programs available. For children ages 4 to 9, both boys and girls will be introduced to the sport of basketball, said Eric Watson, Recreation and Fitness specialist.

Children will start by learning proper stretching and warm up techniques that will get them ready to compete.

If you’re feeling out of shape lately and looking for help, OCCC has the fix.

Numerous classes designed to help students get fit are now in session in the Wellness Center on campus.

With upwards of 12 classes, all students will be able to find something that caters to their needs.
