Intramurals
Part of the Nichols athletics program is not just varsity sports but also a large intramural program which can provide intense competition as well as an overall fun experience.
This spring, 14 teams competed in both soccer and basketball intramurals. The teams were split into two brackets of seven teams each and played every team in their bracket. At the end of these "regular season" games, the top teams in each bracket moved on to playoffs. At the end of playoffs, one team from each sport was named Champion. The Spring 2010 Intramural Champions were Dappermans F.C. for Soccer and Infantry for Basketball.
The Dappermans F.C. consisted of the following athletes: Austin Healy (Captain), Matt Nash, Ryan Wytrych, Mike Schell, Anne Geraghty, Travis Hutchins, Nate Plummer, and Coach Brian Gattie. Infantry was manned by Anthony Pillari (Captain), Mike Seiger, RJ Gagne, Brandt Genga, Lawerence Scott, Sean Vaughn, Pat Gregory, Josh Roza, Bill Hassett, and Brian Riley.
