MCC-wide gaming competition sponsored by MCC-Blue River Gamerz club

Anyone at Metropolitan Community College from any campus is invited to join the Gamerz club at MCC-Blue River for a friendly competition. The Gamerz are a loose knit organization devoted to creating a fun and inviting gaming environment. Their May 19 tournament will be set up to serve as many players as preregister.

The Gamerz club is offering prizes for first place wins in three games: Call of Duty: Block Ops, Halo: Reach, and Modern Warfare 2, three contagiously popular X-box 360 games at which most gaming aficionados have become expert competitors. All prize qualifying tournament sessions will be played one on one.

Contestants can register right up until 4 p.m. on May 19. The Gamerz club only asks participants to let them know before then to get an accurate head count.

Muggles and Misfits - MCC-Blue River volleyball fun

­On Thursday, Dec. 2, several MCC-Blue River staff and students participated in the Blue River Coed Volleyball Tournament. Two teams landed in the finals – one comprised of staff and one made up of students.

On the students’ team were Paul Carter, Luke Hermann, Leah Carter, Kai Ortner, and Sabrina Collison. The staff team included Meg Holcomb, Karen Goos, Jenny Steen, and Rowdy Pyle. In full Blue River spirit, the teams coined fun names for themselves such as “Misfit Toys”, “Muggles” and “Awesome Opossums.”

Throughout the afternoon, they had great fun spiking, setting, digging, serving and dishing out a whole lot of good-natured blame (i.e. “I thought you had it!”).

However, to the staff went the spoils of victory. They defeated the students’ team with a final of score of 26 to 24.
Everyone had a great time and is eagerly awaiting the next volleyball tournament in February. All players received a cool Blue River t-shirt.
