Law Bowl IV? ‘Child Please’!

By Matthew Comiter and Raul Tano

Law Bowl IV, the law school’s annual, co-ed, flag football tournament, took place on Friday, October 30th.  The tournament was exclusively for law students and featured many of the best athletes the school has to offer.  All participants had a great time and the teams were very competitive; however, only one team could win.  In the championship game, team ‘Child Please’ defeated team ‘Law & Order,’ with a final score of 16-0, to take home the LAFAC Commissioner’s Cup.  MVP Honors went to quarterback Matthew MgGuane, who threw for 9 touch down passes and one interception. After the game MVP MgGuane said, “Each of my teammates consistently made big plays throughout the tournament and, for that, I share this award equally with all members of Child Please.”  The remaining members on the championship team were: Corey Adler, Ian Kirtman, Matt Givens, Claire Zovko, Ashley Foster, Brian Kelly, Brandon Shore, Raleigh Watson, and Matt Comiter.
 The win was especially notable because of the makeup of the winning team. The past two years of campus-wide intramural athletics had seen three law school teams dominate, but none of those teams were fully represented at Law Bowl. Interestingly, team ‘Child Please’ consisted of members from each of those three teams.
 ”I thought it was cool that members of the three strongest law school teams were able to come together. Typically we’re competitors, so it was nice that we were all able to play on one team,” said Brian Kelley, Dean’s Cup Chairperson and team member of ‘Child Please’.
 Additionally, Law Bowl featured a large amount of 1L students, which has some of the upperclassmen encouraged about the turnout for the upcoming Dean’s Cup events. Kelley noted, “It was really nice to see a large number of 1Ls out there. I was really impressed by their competitive spirit and their athleticism. I have a strong feeling that they’ll play a big part in this year’s Dean’s Cup.”
