Delta wins in OT to secure 2nd straight ALL SPORTS CHAMPIONSHIP








We had a strong alumni turnout for Delta's All Sports Championship game last night against Kappa. Here are a few pics(Sorry they're so small. I had to use my phone since i forgot my camera). The 1st pic is the winning soccer team which put Delta over the top for its 2nd straight All Sports Championship and 13th ASC overall to lead all mens clubs at OC. The 2nd pic is Bob Elliott and Jeff McMillon who sacked up and showed up. The 3rd pic is Curtis "Disco" Townsend, "Kick me in the Jimmy" Arter, Steve "Shoe"maker, Joshua "Funk" Brookshire, and Craig "Y1" Davis. Also there were Michael Clark, Rick Judd, Landon Cobb, Scott Carter, Neil Roberts, Jesse Bryant, Brad Witherspoon, Brad Myers, and probably a couple of others I may have missed. It was a solid alumni effort and I know it was appreciated and set the bar for the current and future bulls.

The game was an all-timer. 0-0 at half, Kappa scored the game's first goal about 5 minutes into the second 20 minute session. After that, Delta kept the ball in Kappa's zone and put 7 or 8 shots on goal before breaking thru with the game-tying goal with 2 minutes left in regulation. The game went to a 5 minute sudden death OT. The first 2 minutes seemed like they took place in Delta's box. Once the cluster unclustered, a Delta defender kicked the ball clear and a midfielder sent it towards Kappa's goal where Delta striker Brady Nikkel ran it down and finished it off with an OT goal to deliver the ASC trophy to its rightful owners, the men of Delta Gamma Sigma.

Delta will officially get their All Sports Trophy in chapel on Wednesday. Be sure and call or email any Delta guys you know and congratulate them on a great year. Casey Thomas is Delta's AD and deserves a lot of the credit so if you know Casey, give it up to him when you see him. Delta Prez Stevens Copeland and all the other 07-08 officers also deserve recognition for a tremendous year. If you don;t know who this year's officers are, here is a link to their website.

Here is a link to the final All Sports standings for 2007-08.

See you all at the Delta Golf Classic this Saturday at Coffee Creek.
