Extramural Update #4

This weekend we sent two officials to Western Kentucky University, Dan Fladda and Brad Hannahs. Both represented our programs wonderfully. Brad Hannahs represented our program in the men's championship game, and Dan Fladda was the Line Judge in the Women's Championship game. When all was said and done Fladda was honored as an all tournament official and will be joining myself, Bachman,Baker, and Robison in New Orleans. Please congratulate these two if you see or talk to them.

Also joining us in New Orleans on New Years will be our Co-Rec Champions Team Blackout, as they also represented Ohio University at the tournament. The team had the Men's and Women's MVP of the Co-Rec Division as well as an all tournament player. To top it off, Team Blackout won in convincingly fashion.

Our regional extramural travel is not done. December 5th through the 7th, we are sending 6 officials to Southern Mississippi: Tim Tawab, Chad Indorf, Ian Swoboda officials Joe Lippitt, Doug Vinci, and Kevin Nye. If you see or talk to these gentlemen, wish them luck.

Extramural Travel Update #3

Here is the scoop, this past weekend OUIM sent 3 officials to the University of West Florida. Dave Robison, Chad Indorf, and Larry Baker all represented the program very well, and made us all proud. Dave Robison and Larry Baker both received bids to the ACIS National Tournament. Thus they will be joining myself and Matt Bachman in New Orleans.

This weekend, Dan Fladda and veteran official Brad Hannahs will be traveling to Bowling Green, Kentucky to officiate in the Battle of the Bluegrass at Western Kentucky University. If you see these two, please wish them luck.
