Sports News: Kickball Results
On Saturday April 24th, students from College Hill Lutheran Church clashed with students from St. Paul Lutheran Chapel on the hallowed athletic field at Camp Io-Dis-E-Ca. It was the annual take-no-prisoners kickball game. In a surprise strategic move, the College Hill students arrived early. They stoically set about wiping off chairs and mattresses, splitting wood, cleaning the camp van, and creating an obstacle course for campers this summer. While the St. Paul students were resting up for the big game, the College Hill athletes were honing their muscles and warming up for the big game.
At 2:45, the St. Paul students sauntered into Camp. The College Hill team met them with their steely game faces set in place. After introductions, and some competitive remarks, the game was finally on. Even though College Hill was down by 4 early on, the set-back only incited them to dig deeper. By the commencement of the 9th inning, the Panthers were ahead and ready to reach deep to keep it that way. St. Paul surged to score several menacing come-back runs, but they couldn't topple the Panther's lead. When the dust settled, the UNI fans were heard chanting, "PANTHERS WIN, PANTHERS WIN!!!!" The scoreboard read, "15-12."
Following his humiliation, St. Paul's Rev. Mons grilled up delicious brats and everyone enjoyed a cake that featured the logos of both the Panthers and the Hawkeyes.
For a second year in a row the students from College Hill have dominated, taking home the beloved President’s Cup. And though victory is sweat, both teams already have their eye on next year's contest.
