On Sept. 15, students in the Lowell G. Biddulph Hall lounge saw the fierce competition of church basketball games — in the form of ping-pong.
Biddulph Hall held its first ping-pong tournament of the school year, and many participants came to play.
The winner of each tournament was the first to score 21 points.
It was also set up in a double-elimination format, which means a player must lose twice to be eliminated from the tournament.
The mastermind behind the tournament was Drew Scrivner, a freshman from Baker City, Ore.
“A lot of people got pumped up about it. I had to turn some people away, because we already had 16, [players]” Scrivner said.
The event was open to anyone on campus and had at least one person from off-campus housing participating.
So there they were: 16 players, all vying for three coveted trophies bought from Deseret Industries.
In the end, Chad Hernandez, a freshman from Carmichael, Calif., beat Scrivner by a score of 21-13: however, both received the DI trophies originally intended for dance competitions.
Emerson Croxton, a freshman from Concord, Calif., came in third and was awarded the ex-karate trophy.
