Student Vs. Faculty Basketball Game!!!

Southwest Florida College Student Services hosted an electrifying basketball game March 9, 2012 where Faculty and Student teams battled it out on the hard wood floors of the Stars Complex Friday night. With hecklers claiming glory for the winners and humiliation for the losers, the action was non-stop! For the first game of the night, our SWFC’s Fast and Furious Faculty members (A.K.A. team: “Shoot While Fans Cheer”) bit the bullet as they all but owned the basketball in an edge of your seat competition against the first group of student players known as “The A Team”. With “The A Team” coming out on top, they took a break while game two ensued.  Game two consisted of the Faculty players and the second student group who called themselves the “Mon-STARS”.  Although faculty put up a good fight, the “Mon-STARS” owned the score board. The third and final game was both winners from the previous two games. The “A” Team Vs. the Mon-STARS would compete in a fierce battle for championship. With tension in the air, sweat on the court, and basketballs in the eager hands of determined students, a small break was given before the third and final game. While players took their brief breather, our half time entertainment entered the arena: Paradise Tiny’s, a competitive cheerleading squad consisting of 8 Cheerleaders ranging from ages 4 to 6, performed their hearts out! Stunts, tumbling, smiles and a spirited performance by the Paradise Tiny’s, left fans cheering and pumped for the final game. Finally, the time had come: The “A” Team VS. The Mon-STARS!  After 16 minutes of fans bellowing, faculty fist pumping and music booming, our winners were announced: congratulations to the Mon-STARS, our first place, 2012 Faculty Versus Students Champions.  After a night of intensity and competition, all teams high fived and celebrated. This was yet another successful SWFC event. Stay tuned for up and coming events and for more information, email tfox@swfc.edu. GO SWFC!!!
